30 seconds is too much work for 400+ damage? heh, you really ARE lazy... KIDDING.
by the way, was doing hunter/foragers for a bit last night and had 0 resists in about
6 uses. one partial did 305 instead of 435. all the rest were full for 435.

like i said, in my situation, i generally play cantana, nivs, and something else. as long

enchanter, i heal myself for ''free'', due to my normal twist.
