I've read a few relic holder hierarchy strategies and would like to pose my own. Let me know what you think. Split your group into 3 categories Top Tier: 2 most proficient relic holders. All top tier members immediately attempt to pick up the relic when teleported. Who gets it doesn't matter b/c this group is solid relic players only. 2nd Tier: 2 players that can manage the relic if need be. 2nd tier players attempt to pick up the relic 1 second after teleport. This gives top tier time to pick it up but doesn't waste time figuring out if your top tier guys are with you or still outside. 3rd Tier: 2 players will not need to ever pick up the relic. Since 3 are teleported there will always be at least one member from one of the higher tiers. 3rd tier players can immediately focus on the adds and get set up for oracles. You can adjust the numbers to have 1 top & 3 2nds, or 3 tops & 1 2nd, or even 4 tops depending on your group. You don't have to be concerned about 1 through 6 rankings or figuring out who is teleported and who is not. This also prevents everyone talking over each other after every teleport. You either always immediately pick it up, pick it up after 1 second, or don't touch it. Thoughts?? Edit: You may want to consider putting gunslingers or those with oracle damage weapons in the third tier to always be shooters. Third tier doesn't mean you are bad with the relic, rather your responsibility is oracles. (Thanks aficionadont)
