TONIGHT WE DINE IN... A VOLCANO
So! Last night on RO was amaaazing. Since the whole guild wasn't in, we decided to trio Thor's Volcano, seeing as none of us have a character who can solo it yet. Catch was, only one of us was anywhere near properly geared and all three of us were playing characters we don't usually play. So...
Our fatty/tank/lord knight was playing a squishy/dps/high wizard.
Our rainbower/sweeper/crit sinx/auto-blitz sniper was playing our fatty/tank/paladin.
And I, our WHY CAN'T I HIT YOU/dps/sniper was playing our healbitch/support/high priest.
Needless to say, there was a lot of dying! But I think it went really well! It gave me (another) real appreciation for people who can play a support priest well. So glad I got safety wall. Since our paladin was the only one with fire armour, the rest of us kept on dying to kasa's fire breath. There is a way to negate it, and that's with safety wall/pneuma (depending on the distance) buuuuuuuuuuut, I like, have the worst aim ever with those spells, so you can guess how that went down. The fact I can't see/cast pneuma on pneuma's area of effect didn't help so I kept on getting THIS SKILL HAS FAILED messages sob. I got better though! So in the last half hour, we did manage to make more kills than we did in the first half (so much exp, even split 3 ways :O ). There were some mobs that hurt our paladin a lot, though, even with all the damage reduction (immune, stone buckler + alice, defender), and I can't outheal that sometimes. So I'm like OH GOD I HAVE TO SAFETY WALL BUT HE MIGHT DIE IN THE SPLIT SECOND I HAVE TO CAST IT AHHH. Sob so glad I hunted a sprint ring. I'm most glad that I could see the tangible difference the gear the guild has hunted up has made.
I think it would've been a lot easier if we all had ventrilo, though. Buuut then again, with my internet fail...
