Coaching

Coaching gives players the ability to provide in-game guidance to other players in their party. It should be noted that upon completion of the game, the coach will not be eligible for item drops or battle points, however, players in game will benefit from any active battle bonuses the coach may have. Coaches also do not get penalties or an abandon for leaving the match or being inactive. They also will not get an party-abandon if a player in their party abandons.
