hehe, kinda reminds me of this weekend, we were in fear, and went after
Cazic thule. tactic was send in a druid, snare cazic and then wiat for him
to get Death touched. So everyone's yelling for the druid to go go go. so he
runs up, snares the stupid god, and starts kiting him, a minute or 2 later
everyone's like wtf is he doing. the druid is still alive and running around
in circles kiting a bloody god. was the funniest concept i have ever seen, i
was laughing off my chair. Damn druids think they can kite anything. he
finally got death touched and everyone charged in
on a side note, wizards were really happy to finally use their AE spells for
once, they killed 8 cazic pets real quick with em hehe.
i dunno, it was just one of the funniest things i've seen so far in eq.
/applaud the halfling druid
/laugh at the halfling UbEr DrOOd Kiter
fyi, cazic dropped junk, 2 puppet strings and a shaman hammer
