Subject: RE: trade question


I almost never have the nuker type finger wiggler in the party... The usual
make up is 2 tanks, 2 shamans, a druid and me. We tend to have very little
down time since the shamans and druid simply assist in melee combat, snare
and cast heals when necessary. When we do get a finger wiggler nuker in the
party, they tend to almost NEVER have mana as my pulling habits are hard to
change :=). Unfortunately, with no nukers, the combat sequences tend to
last a long time and I tend to get very tired... after all I'm only a wood
elf. Having mostly Lambent (minus the BP) has helped, but I still seem to
loose stamina at an alarming rate. The only time I really end combat with
decent stamina is when I pull bad and spend my time playing lullaby or pixie
striking to keep the extras dis-interested. Of course in those situations,
I usually loose an equivalent amount of health instead :=)
