I have to disagree as well. I was camping the Spirit room in Unrest and the
mobs were coming more or less continuously at some points. With a
compentent cleric in the group he was medding constantly and only standing
up to heal before diving back into his book. The amount of melee damage
that the warrior, paladin, druid and I was dishing out was fine. Anthem,
Psalm, etc. wouldn't have contributed enough to justify denying the cleric
Clarity. This cleric was calling "2 mins to heal", "1 min to heal", "30
secs to heal" and kept us informed the whole time. It was wonderful. The
only time I felt obligated to play something else was when a Hag joined the
party. Then I twisted MR buffs and threw in the occassional (resisted)
Pixie Strike.

You know it really gets my goat that a friggin' blue undead resists me again
and again and again. The live lizzies in Cazic hardly ever resist Strike.
I guess undead mobs are just different though, cause the ones in Kith resist
PS routinely as well.
