its my bad, and I will die as a result. My own stoopid fault.

You can be a bit "runny-offy" yourself at times, but I take your point to
a degree as it can be difficult to keep track of where everybody is. That
being said Od and I take A LOT of aggro, drawing away a lot of heat.. Also
with some opponents you have to close them down FAST. Arcanes and
witchdoctors being an example. You can not let those Arcanes get into
their stride or they will put some big hurt on you. Also Conor you should
be aware that we make these opponents go away quite rapidly. I do about 42
points of damage a round to my primary target and about half that to the
guys flanking.

Whats the balance between buffs to prevent damage/ deal damage vs healing.
I am tending to take divine favour to help me on the "make bad guys go
away" front, but mabey should switch back to Virtue (+12 hp) as my default
spell choice.

My ability to do that is usually limited by the fact that I too am lying
on the floor being chewed of as my balance and reflex scores suck large
also (low Dex and big AC pen). Mike and Leigh are the men for that job,
Mike in particular as Wild Empathy makes them play "nice doggy". Dogs and
wargs are a big enemy in the game.

The other big risk for me is the non-corp opponents who ignore my physical
armour. All I have is prot from E and sheild spell (on bracers) will
sheild of faith help here. Mage armour is self only isnt it?



We are getting tighter on tatics I think (at times), also keep in mind it
is supposed to be fun and not all about min-max.
