Seriously, marking targets is by far the simplest form of communication and can really make a team seem to actually be a team. Mark the sleepers, and more importantly mark the focus. Saying, "Ok get the BLM first." only works if there's only one BLM. Saying, "Ok kill casters." when facing a team of BLM, BLM, WHM, WAR is simply fail.
Use markers ... win.
Cover is a direct counter to physical heavy teams who rely on Holmgang to initiate their burst.


I always mark the primary target and discuss the general CC plan but plans change. It's virtually impossible for me to mark every slept target due to the AOE nature of CC. Do you really need me to mark every target hit by Freeze to know not to hit them? Freeze doesn't even have a primary target like Sleep. It's not like I have ample time to tab mark when I have a DRG, BRD, and WAR chasing me around.
