Gates of Discord implemented a new points system called the Leadership System. This system will progress in points if you are the leader of your raid or group. You will have special abilites listed below to help you organize your encounter.

The leadership points will be gained by enabling the leadership system. When enabled 20% of the leader's experience will be transferred to this system. There is no sliding scale like the AA system it is either turned off or turned on. You can bring up the leader screen by hitting the L key.

Descriptions:


Mark NPC:
With this new system a group or raid leader can highlight up to three NPCs for the group or raid to see (one per level). This can allow the leader to designate attack order, mez order or just plain identify the mobs for the group/raid. The NPCs are noted by a number before their name as well as a new targeting circle at their feet.



NPC Health:
This ability allows members of the party to see a health indicator for every nearby NPC. You can see a example of this in the picture above.

Inspect Buffs:
This ability allows group members to target other group menbers and inspect their buffs.


Find Path to PC:
This ability will allow group members to use the /path command to display a path to a targeted group member. This path will be like the one that can be used in the bazaar to find a trader.

Delegate Main Assist:

This skill will allow the leader to designate a member of the party as the Main Assist. Whichever creature is targeted by the Main assist will be clearly marked so all members of the group can see it. This will eliminate much of the confusion caused when there are several mobs in a camp.

Delegate Mark NPC:

This ability requires you have the Mark NPC skill. It will allow the group leader to delegate the mark NPC command. This command is found on the raid window. 'Alt+R' The delegated player will be able to mark NPC same as the Mark NPC command.

Health of Target's Target:

This ability will allow the player to view the health of whatever his target is attacking. This can be very useful in chealing chains. It will make it easier for the healers to esitmate if they have the mana pool in the chain to keep the Main tank healed during the battle without targetting off of the tank to check the Mob's hitpoints.

Inspect Buffs:

This ability allows group members to target any other group member and inspect their buffs. Useful on spells with short duration such as Damage shields.

Spell Awareness:

This will allow group members to recognize spells being cast by creatures and PC's. Good skill here. Knowing what spell a creature is about to cast can give you some forewarning on needing to stun.

Offense Enhancement:

This ability increases the attack of each member of your group. Further ranks of this ability increase the attack.

Mana Enhancement:

This ability will increase the mana pool of each member of your group. Further ranks of this ability increase the mana pool.

Health Enhancement:

This ability will increase the hit points of each member of your group. Further ranks of this ability increase the hitpoints.

Health Regeneration:

This ability will increase the hit point regen of each member of your group. Further ranks of this ability increase the regeneration.

Find Path to PC:

This ability allows members of a group to request a path to a fellow player. You can target the player in the group window and hit the hotkey or type the find PC command '/findpc nameofplayer'. This will create a very visible path to the player.
