Speaking of an all or nothing group i had the best fun in ages yesterday in
dreadlands.

The Group...
2 lizard monks, 1 warrior, 1 lizzie sk and a ranger and me pulling.

No downtime, ranger would snare incoming mob and then we'd fear kite,
nothing lasted more then 5 seconds. I'd take off to pull another when it was
1/4 health. I'm definetly going to try to do that group again in dreadlands
again soon, it was very very nice xp 8)

And there was much rejoicing as our bardic adventurer had for once no need
to "play mana song"

The only time I played only Clarity all through combat was with a group of
5 casters in The Overthere. I've never done it since as that was one of the
most boring things I've ever done.

I always love being in a group that has a couple of tanks as I can combat
buff them very nicely then hymn/clarity/cantana during downtime for the
casters. Definitely ideal.
