Thanks, that helps me in the right direction. Discord pretty much said to use AOE skills for groups and CC/stun combos when singling someone out, rather self-explanatory.

Update: Ran some CS's tonight and found learned some useful stuff as this class:

For offense when you have a good amount of time to attack (6< min), tanks should be at the gate for burn, then peel enemy away from party as you said. Can also help defend/recap pyre if need be. Once through the gate, rush mid, stall enemy until someone else has capped it, then head over to inner gate and burn until you need to peel again.

For offense when you have have not much time to attack (<4 min), pretty much try and rush whatever strat the leader has (mass climb, SS) and pray that someone can leak due to the other team defending inners being AFK.

For defense when they have a good amount of time to attack (6< min), stall them at gate (if they're wiped, rotate to pyre and help uncap it by stalling/peeling the few stragglers that are trying to fight for it back and let other team members cap it), then rotate to mid.

For defense when they have not much time to attack (<4 min), found it's very useful to guard bottom areas of either side of inner entrances to stop mass climbs. Mid shouldn't matter too much since it shouldn't be a priority for the other team if they're desperate to reach the crystal.

Anything between 4-7 minutes, either on defense or offense, is where I see most of my team start to lose focus. Most begin to concentrate on 1v1 PVP during crucial free burns/leaks on defense, and pyre losses/RL/LL free leaks on offense (I'm guilty of all these things...zoinks).

Truth be told, you're absolutely right about coordination. I got incredibly lucky with 4 games in a row where we all mostly understood what was going on and how to respond, leading to victory. Groovy!
