=== Ping-scanning === Easily overlooked by beginnings players, the "ping" key (bound to "T" by default) is a hugely useful part of the advanced player's toolkit. The main thing to know is that if you hover your crosshair over an item or enemy (special rat or ogre) and hit "ping", that item or enemy will be highlghted and your hero will make a call-out *even if you can't actually currently see the item or enemy". One use of this is to "look inside" upcoming chests or out-of-the-way loot-spawn locations to determine if they're worth visiting. Even more crucial, however, is to develop the habit of "scanning" upcoming map terrain by hammering on the ping key while scanning the horizon. This will help you pick out stationary Stormvermin well before they're aware of your team's presence, and also be used to find the locations of incoming specials before you make visual contact. Similary, "ping-scanning" is very useful picking out the location of a gasrat from the other side of its green cloud so that it can be killed before it can lob more bombs. Lastly, "ping-scanning" does *not* work in magical darkness unless you are very close to the target. This means that pinging the Ogre during the Dungeons finale, for example, is even more useful for you team, since they'll be unable to do so themselves from range if the ogre moves into the darkness.
