BOOM! So I get online last night at about 11PM after my girlfriend went home and within about 10 seconds of me being online, and not have even MOVED from the spot I was standing in I already had a party. At first one person sent me a tell asking if I wanted to join and I just kinda ignored it because I wanted to clean up some inventory first but then the leader sent me a tell too. Then I accepted graciously and went out there and WORKED IT. Not only did I realize that my hate keeping skills is hard when I'm at least 2 levels below the main DDs but I need to get a High Breath Mantle for when I hit 36 to keep hate better. I did a good job and the one SAM we had in our party even said that, but I felt that I could've done a much better job. I was doing shield bash and sentinel to lock in hate occasionally but those are 5 minute skills and we were rocking down mobs towards the end in under 30 seconds! Basically I turned into a back up healer which I could deal with because I was so much behind everyone else. When I was about 300 short of 35 the BRD hit 37 if that gives you a hint on how I was the lowest in the job ranges.
All in all it was a rock solid party because I brought out Screamineagle ... and didn't even use him ... for our party at least. There was another party around the corner that died and needed a raise so I ran him out there, while still tanking, and raised them. haha Having a BRD and COR in your party REALLY helps out. Not to mention when you hard 2 more solid DDs in a RNG and a SAM, with the support of a good WHM that actually knows how to use Regen. It was just a really good party last night and I was able to get 3 levels in it!
Now I'm really pumped about having Auto Refresh because that is going to help soooooooooooo much. I was barely having enough time to rest a tick or 2 between fights so I was pretty much blowing my load on Cure 3s to keep hate and then having no extra MP to keep me going. It was nice though because I was doing a good job of keeping my MP good enough to never really run out of it. Overall I must say I was impressed with my tanking and besides the lack of enmity I did well. Woo woooooooooooooo, pumped to level more now! :D
Tonight I dunno what I'm gonna do because I don't know what I'm doing IRL. Khrone wants me to go do all the avatar prime fights with him so he can get all the summons. I'd have to spend a little time running around grabbing all the forks because I think I only have like 2 of them right now. It shouldn't take me too long to get them all because I can either OP everywhere or teleport everywhere, so no biggie.
Quote of the Day:
You're a good tank!
- Alexandre, the SAM who thought I was some sort of pimp tank, lol
