Munchies

It’s amazing to think that the majority of the Hostess Heroes are up in the low 20s now — Ho Ho just dinged 22 last night. I’m getting contacts in IP and Talos and the Striga arc just opened up to me (probably would have been available sooner, but I’ve been lax in keeping up with my contacts).
I remember when we were all 1st level noobs, barely able to lift our weapons without collapsing in a wheeze. And, to that end, let me once again say that I have never had a character so transformed by Stamina as Ho Ho. Endurance drain is the least of her worries, even with all her toggles on and chopping for all she’s worth.
Indeed, I’m really pleased by how she’s doing, tank-wise. Lacking Taunt (which I just picked up, thank God), she was basically jumping into the biggest mob and letting her Invincible bite-me aura keep them locked down. Then she’d whale on the nastiest boss/lieut around, keeping him seriously locked down until the others could clean out the rest of the crew. Between Dull Pain and a few green chicklets, she could stay on her feet against a flock of orange and reds, no problem.
It actually worked great — on a full team of 8 last night we had a couple of deaths, but nothing systemic. I’m sure we’re cruising for serious trouble, but last night demonstrated how formidable a bunch of snacks we truly are.
