giant warrior take it in the pants from an undead pikeman who
happened to walk in while you were fighting a trolloc? A healer
has the ability to change the nature of a situation. A normally
ugly encounter in SL is turned into some nice exp. I took a storm
warrior, and a shifting transmuter into SL at a relatively low rank
for the area, and we cleaned house. Trollocs, pikeman, archers.. oh my. ;)
There were times we were caught off guard by a travelling pikeman,
but we were never in danger of getting killed. Hell.. we even had a
groupmate gaunted while fighting undead, and we laughed it off.
to take on mobs at a rank you have no business touching
I encounter couldn't give a shit about having one around... even
after I proven myself (bitterness included)...
