> Really there was nothing special about the fights. All it shows was you biting people Nibb something, and the giant. Recalling to Ofcol to heal (now they know where you recall to). Then heading back to the giant. It didn't really look like any skills were involved. The only thing at all instresting was that it did crash before you had to repeat the whole thing again. So if there was something particular intresting please point out to me. Thanks (please edit next time thanks again)
What impressed me the most, was that I was doing all this with a minor form. True, I did have transform up for some of it, but once the orb was taken, I solod the giant without tranform. I impressed myself even more the day after this by tanking three ragers in the village at the same time. They had no powers, and even though I did, I didn't use any of them because I wanted to see how well I could do without them. I initially was not looking to fight three ragers. The giant had already been killed, and the head was taken, so I don't see how they could justify it as an actual raid. But I initially went in to expecting to kill one rager at a time. Instead, I attacked one rager, then another jumped in, and a third. The first one fell to gushing and fled, then returned to assist while the second one tanked. Eventually that one fled gushing and returned while the third tanked, and it wasn't long before the third fled, leaving the first one to tank again. He fled at writhing, then the next one fled at writhing, and the last one fled still gushing. By this point I had been blinded, so wasn't sure if the destructor was back yet or not, so I decided not to risk going in after them, and just left, content with the fact I drove back three ragers at once. It seems to me that the skill level of many of the village has fallen greatly in recent times. I've had several ragers in the past, and the only minor form I've ever fallen to was an invoker shielded sea snake on the aryth, when I was a rager thief, and every minor form I ever fought, I did so alone. The fact that I, as a wolf, just soloed three ragers, I find that remarkably sad. The fact that two ragers assisted this time is a bit shady. My being in the village was not really a raid since the giant was gone, and so (most likely, though I didn't want to risk it) was the Destructor. This being the case, there was no need for them to outnumber me. It's quite a stretch classifying me attacking a single rager inside the village as an actual raid. Anyway, that should answer your question.
