The most recent State of the Game article has been posted on the Guild Wars official site, and wraps up their look at midline strategies.

Previous articles in this series have discussed individual Ranger and Mesmer responsibilities in midline shutdown. However, in an actual GvG, with an eight person team, these professions rarely work alone. The midline of a good team works together, much like the frontline pair does. This article covers the communication needed for efficient midline synergy. Throughout a match, the midline's communication should focus mostly on targets, skill shutdown, and team status.

Targeting Communication

‘Targeting communication’ is identifying to your team which opposing player you're shutting down.
