Albtraum Guide

Heyas,

Just a point about the Albtraum guide. In it, it talks about the possibility of an add spawning once you kill a Voracious Horror or a Soul Stealer.

In the case of the Voracious Horror, an add is only spawned if noone in the team has been hit by "Cunning of the Voracious Horror" before it dies.

Interesting observation. Problem is that with a nano that has defense /resist chance of 0% (Cunning of The Voracious Horror) we can't offer any strategy to evade being hit by it. So while it explains why just some mobs spawn adds, it might also fool new players in Albtraum into false sense of security (Teamleader: anybody been hit by XXX?; PlayerA: No, pull next one; PlayerB: No, let them comming; PlayerC: Back from biobreak; PlayerD: wut?).

I hate to say this, but this is too advanced information to be included in guide. With game complexity as it is, it's sometimes better not too reveal everything and keep guide fairly simple not to confuse players and maximize chance of successful raid. Still, kudos to you sir, I like how you think and approach the game.
