Good times, Bad times, give me some of that...
As far as things have been going, Western Digital is now on my shit list as far as hard drives go. That is, unless Dell decided to use their kill switches on some of their PC's that came through here lately.
Recently I decided to startup my defender and respec'ed her to take all the defensive and very little offensive powers. So far, unless the group is made of complete morons, she can keep em all alive. Even with a group of complete morons, she was able to keep the main group healed while two morons split from the group and decided that their offense were good enough to get themselves killed. Even when I mentioned to the group to stop attacking, Captain Aggro(blaster) decides to go on.
Personally I feel that melee toons get priority for healing while blasters get fortitude. Everyone has to stay in healing range. If you go too far, I'm not TP'ing your sorry butt back here to rez, you wait for us to get there or you go to the hospital. I havent seen a more sorry group of players since my days of deciding to solo because of these bad pickup groups.
I noticed that most empathy defenders never take absorb pain, because you can die from it. Personally when used right, it's very overpowered. Case in point, 2 empathy defenders were on a Cavern of Trancendance trial. By coincidence, we both had the same powersets. Oddly though my heals were generally a lot better than his. I'm 2 levels below him. On one bad pull, everyone got aggro, I popped 4 purples and kept healing. The other defender was down to red when I used Absorb Pain on him. This put him back up to full health. When my purples ran out, I started to take damage. Well he shot it right back at me when I was near red. With the heal spam between the two of us, this whole team of eight didn't die thereafter.
Well it's my birthday tomorrow and I still have to work. What's worse is that I have a cold oncoming and I have had problems sleeping. I plan to BBQ tomorrow and have something like steak and cake. Most people who know me, were asking what I wanted for my birthday. Clothes are always nice, but a candy bar is still good. I'm not picky. Just as long as they show up, it's all good.
Well take care everyone and have some good times on me.
