This often slows the enemy's damage output, and discourages the enemy from [[overextending]] or going into [[Frenzy]]. <br /> <br /> ===Etymology and principle===<br /> The use of this word stems from real-life linebackers in [[w:American football|American football]]: these players hold the line of scrimmage to prevent the players of the opposing team from advancing past it. The same principle extends to Guild Wars by discouraging enemy melee from running rampant through the [[midline]] and [[backline]]. By linebacking an aggressive enemy player, a team can recover resources without losing ground by making the opposition's targets predictable and increasing the usefulness of protection and healing. <br /> <br /> ===Situations where it's best to lineback===<br /> *Your party is about to [[wipe]] and you want to survive long enough to pull back into your base.<br /> *A character dedicated to linebacking is an element of your party's defense.<br /> *The enemy team has a [[powerplay]].<br /> *The enemy is a very strong [[pressure]] team.<br /> <br /> {{Team Roles nav}}<br /> [[Category:PvP tactics]]</div>
