> Virtually everything you said here comes down to the following: "I don't know your char and I've never spoken to your char and I should not judge your char or anything about you or your actions because of that."

> What kind of idiot are you? HOw the hell would you know whether I have spoken to you or not? You know who the player of each and every char is? Fact of the matter is, Gergran, I *have* spoken to you, and at length, with not one, but two characters. I'd say I know you quite well. Just because you dont know that I was the player -- which pleases me, by the way -- is no excuse for your pathetic assumptions.
I really don't know the truth of this, but, I have never in my life had anyone criticize this character -in character or out of character- So, by the lack of factual statements in your previous post makes me believe that you don't know me. You posted exactly no FACTS about Gergran, simply widespread generalizations. Second, I try not to know who is playing which character
--Which pleases me by the way--

> Second, this whole "I'm wearing all the +dam equ I can find because I plan to make gifts of them soon because I'm so old and dying" just doesn't wash. You have been wearing +dam equ your whole life. Since day one. Stop trying to sell that crap, nobody is buying.
Another all encompassing generalization with little to back it up. Never before in my life have I wore more than 2 pieces of Pwent at any time, and never before have I ever wore a Wide Copper Bracelet, until now. Until now, my highest Damroll has been about 40-45 (with +12 dam frenzy), this time it was 60 dam, and, if you really want to know how I got that gear, I got killed with my usual gear in a raid,
and looted a corpse of one of the Imperial AP's, completely switching gear with him basically.

> Third, it is always nice to have independant verification. You read Nepenthe's post? Arcane's? Talked to any imm's recently? What you, and other healers that gear like you who have the "kill kill kill!" mentality do is wrong and everyone knows it. Nobody is limiting roleplay. You just don't understand a healer and are trying to roleplay a shaman, or perhaps a paladin or militant druid. Roleplay all you want, but you chose a class. Classes provide limitations, parameters, etc. Yes, you can play out of the box, but to act against the intrinsic nature of the class is wrong, and *bad* roleplay. And you are one of the most egregious offenders.
Riigghhhtttt
If you read those posts, you will see that they didn't agree with you about me, but about healers in general, which I do also. Not because it is bad roleplay for a healer to hit hard, but because it it bad tactics, which is what Nepenthe's post is all about.
Remember, my Damroll at that time was at least 15 higher than it had ever been before (except when I travel with Mendeiron of course) and I usually have approximately 11-1200 hp, at the time of this fight, I had about 870
Also, about the necessity of me killing some people, read the help file on Holtzendorff's religion, you should be able to figure out why I attack sometimes, but more often try to talk.... If you will remember, I almost had Palan talked into giving up his ways, before he deleted, and a few others, also
