Warriors can do a decent job, Paladins however...

I hate to keep talking about lower guk, but since that's where I
was all last night, that experience is fresh in my mind. (I hate
lower guk big time, it's like a grown up version of greater fay,
without any real 'growing up'. hehe)

Tactician spawns, enchanter charms bok, sics bok on tactician.
Paladin and I go start beating on the tact, and I begin to chain
and chain and chain. I must have sunk 20 chains on this frog,
then he turns on me. Cleric went to bed, so the Shaman was the
healer. This frog didn't miss me. Every hit was 110+, and he
double attacked like that for about 5 rounds on me. I backed
out and he was stuck on me like glue. The shaman is yelling
LoM, the enchanter is spent, and this paladin cannot taunt
for poop. The tactician was still half alive, and I was down
to 2 bubbles. Our dmg output (paladin, bok, and myself) was
not going to kill this thing in time.

This is when the wheels start turning in your head.

This is when your heart pushes blood to your brain.

Arendaline, bloodrush, your skin tingles, your heartrate skyrockets.

'What do you do?'

Dance around the throne!! lol, go poor pathing! I kept chaining
that frog and ran around the throne in the middle of the room over
and over, until the bok and paladin brought it to quarter life, and
then the shaman had enough mana to heal me.

Yet another weird, yet fun, night for me on EQ.

Breaking the king room with 6 people, and holding it with 4 people
(minus any clerics or warriors for holding) was pretty intense and
very exciting.

Harmonic.
