Rather than any number of useful errands I could have been running, I played with Amethyst Crown. Now that she has Parry, she has a pretty decent attack chain without Brawl (Parry – Hack – Parry – Slash …).
So I ran a mish on my own, which was okay, then decided to head over to the Hollows. Level 8 should be just right, right? And I was confident enough of her survivability to be willing to risk a bad PUG.
Well, it actually worked out okay — I was at 8 and a large group of mostly lvl 10 or so pulled me in for what turned into two consecutive Frostfire mishes. During which time I dinged up three times, ending up at 11. Yay. Only died once (after I hit 10, of course), and felt pretty good about her performance.
Good times.
Have decided against Hasten at this point (since there’s not a lot I’m dropping recharges into, and, as I said, she has an attack chain that’s good and will only get better). That freed me up to take Swift as her one power on the even level, which, with Sprint, is almost as good as a travel power until 14.
I had a goal this weekend to get Dubh up to 20th. Saturday was PUG after PUG, some good some bad, and proving my point that any squid outside of the alliance was PL’d, and thus have no clue what happens on mission or what the various different villian groups do.
And that you very much for picking me up afet a very bad PUG, that didn’t know that “Invicible” was not a title but the mission setting (stupid PL’d squids…Grrrr). THank you, Thank you, Thank you!:)
Let me put it this way. On the missions that I helped you all with, Dubh died half as much as with the really bad PUG.
Not so happy with the power that I pick up at 18th, but I still have the respec and I will go and redo him to get rid of it. Mostly it is the debuff power, and the guy I debuff gets gak’d to soon to be of any use, and it is not like he has any feature that shows up differently then any of the folks in the tar pit.
And I need to make a new Macro saying “Running away from the person trying to heal you is a bad idea.”
I don’t know whether to be pleased or appalled that the death rate was higher in your PUGs before you joined us.
Actually, I’m not surprised. Our deaths were not infrequent but were exceptional — a “bug” not a “feature.”
