WHEN TO USE THE RARES

Someone is going to have to be time keeper. They turn in the ticket to start the
colosseum run and can check the ticket to see how much time is left. Ideally, this will be one of the melees, since they will be using lifetank to vuln frequently, giving them time to check the ticket.

Every THREE minutes the timekeeper will callout /g 3 MINUTES or /g 18 minutes etc.
so everyone knows when to use rares. Below is a list showing when to use each rare. Spirit drinker rares affect your wielded weapon, and thus are not going to be timed. You need to use them when we get to the places where they are needed most, such as virindi and swarm demons. It is best not to use any rares unmentioned, as you may prevent the use of a needed rare in three minute wait time. :( Each place it says "two mages uses life rare" is where anyone else has an opportunity to pop a
drinker/coord rare.
