<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> Nothing for me, I'm a cheap date!<br>>>>>><br>>>>>>> Healing pots. Nobody should be going into an instance of duration<br>>>>>>> "long"
<br>>>>>>> or<br>>>>>>> "very long" without at least 10 (yes I said 10) pots of cure<br>>>>>>> serious<br>>>>>>> wounds.<br>>>>>>
<br>>>>>> I am usually sitting on a few CMW and CSW pots and I also have<br>>>>>> two big<br>>>>>> (78) point heals that I can pop. In genral I try to keep an eye<br>>>>>> on my
<br>>>>>> hp<br>>>>>> bar and if I am low I will pop a big heal on myself or retreat.<br>>>>>> If I<br>>>>>> am<br>>>>>> out of LOS then as far as I am concerned I am on my own and
<br>>>>>> will have<br>>>>>> to<br>>>>>> look after myself. Because my heal is a "one big pop" affair, I<br>>>>>> will<br>>>>>> normally run my points down to to about 1/3 of max before
<br>>>>>> applying the<br>>>>>> lay<br>>>>>> on hands.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> I should carry a CLW wand in the event that connor gets floored to<br>>>>>> pick
<br>>>>>> him up off the slab! I'll buy a cheepie<br>>>>>><br>>>>>>> Especially the melee combatants. All the hold / stun / trip<br>>>>>>> effects<br>>>>>>> have
<br>>>>>>> been souped in recent patches and I'm very aware that some of<br>>>>>>> ye are<br>>>>>>> brutal<br>>>>>>> about healing yourselves - tbh sometimes I question if you
<br>>>>>>> even know<br>>>>>>> you're<br>>>>>>> even taking damage.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> Oh I do, I feel every slap.<br>>>>>>
<br>>>>>>> I'm not having a go - I just think the<br>>>>>>> melee combatants need to be more aware of their surroundings<br>>>>>>> regarding<br>>>>>>> receiving heals. Split level areas probably give the most
<br>>>>>>> hassle for<br>>>>>>> me<br>>>>>>> to<br>>>>>>> get line of sight.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>>> From my point of view, if I need healing and can not retreat
<br>>>>>>> to LOS<br>>>>>>> then<br>>>>>> its my bad, and I will die as a result. My own stoopid fault.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>><br>>>>>>> - Nobody ever protects the healer in this game ...... I mostly
<br>>>>>>> don't<br>>>>>>> need<br>>>>>>> it, but our party always seems to be running around like headless<br>>>>>>> chickens<br>>>>>>> without a strategy in mind.
<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> You can be a bit "runny-offy" yourself at times, but I take<br>>>>>> your point<br>>>>>> to<br>>>>>> a degree as it can be difficult to keep track of where
<br>>>>>> everybody is.<br>>>>>> That<br>>>>>> being said Od and I take A LOT of aggro, drawing away a lot of<br>>>>>> heat..<br>>>>>> Also<br>>>>>> with some opponents you have to close them down FAST. Arcanes and
<br>>>>>> witchdoctors being an example. You can not let those Arcanes<br>>>>>> get into<br>>>>>> their stride or they will put some big hurt on you. Also Conor you<br>>>>>> should
<br>>>>>> be aware that we make these opponents go away quite rapidly. I do<br>>>>>> about<br>>>>>> 42<br>>>>>> points of damage a round to my primary target and about half
<br>>>>>> that to<br>>>>>> the<br>>>>>> guys flanking.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>>> Healing wands. Keep em coming! At the moment I am burning at<br>>>>>>> least
<br>>>>>>> one<br>>>>>>> fully<br>>>>>>> charged CLW wand per long instance and half CMW wand per<br>>>>>>> instance. I<br>>>>>>> don't
<br>>>>>>> mind buying CLW wands cos they're cheap - but they are also now<br>>>>>>> completely<br>>>>>>> useless as in combat wands. CMW are just about effective in a
<br>>>>>>> scrap.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> Whats the balance between buffs to prevent damage/ deal damage vs<br>>>>>> healing.<br>>>>>> I am tending to take divine favour to help me on the "make bad
<br>>>>>> guys go<br>>>>>> away" front, but mabey should switch back to Virtue (+12 hp) as my<br>>>>>> default<br>>>>>> spell choice.<br>>>>>>
<br>>>>>>><br>>>>>>> DOG (type) animals - I have crap reflex saves ..... if there<br>>>>>>> are dogs<br>>>>>>> around<br>>>>>>> - get them off me.
<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> My ability to do that is usually limited by the fact that I too am<br>>>>>> lying<br>>>>>> on the floor being chewed of as my balance and reflex scores suck
<br>>>>>> large<br>>>>>> also (low Dex and big AC pen). Mike and Leigh are the men for that<br>>>>>> job,<br>>>>>> Mike in particular as Wild Empathy makes them play "nice
<br>>>>>> doggy". Dogs<br>>>>>> and<br>>>>>> wargs are a big enemy in the game.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> The other big risk for me is the non-corp opponents who ignore my
<br>>>>>> physical<br>>>>>> armour. All I have is prot from E and sheild spell (on bracers)<br>>>>>> will<br>>>>>> sheild of faith help here. Mage armour is self only isnt it?
<br>>>>>><br>>>>>><br>>>>>><br>>>>>> We are getting tighter on tatics I think (at times), also keep<br>>>>>> in mind<br>>>>>> it<br>
>>>>> is supposed to be fun and not all about min-max.<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> B<br>>>>>><br>>>>>> _______________________________________________<br>>>>>> ddo mailing list
