The other night in Highpass fighting Orcs, I was grouped with a bunch of
other 17-19ish players (Im an 18th Bard) and one 14th Druid. Every time we
engaged the Orcs, the druid would but up front playing tank and getting
beaten down to within an inch of his life. Burning out all of his mana and
asking the rest of the group to wait while he meditated. And most
importantly,, unable to heal the other tanks in the party when the need
arose.

Now I know that when I group with all players that are much higher than I,
that I must be carefull and accept a slightly more supportive role. Buffing
and Healing the Higer level players is a priority over diving into combat
and knocking myself down to less than a bubble of healh and becoming a time
burdon to the rest of the party. I have a responsibility to the rest of a
higher level party to not deminish my resources, because the reason they
would have me in a party in the first place is because Bards rule.

Well I had a little talk with him about how I thought he should approach the
situation with his Druid. We was really defensive, probably because he was
getting stomped, and did not want to be hasseled. I was upset to and was
probably not as "hearts and flowers" as I could have been about it. I can
also testify that if I was to hear something other than a kind reminder like
"Heal song please :)" I would probably take offence too. Considering I have
spend quite a bit of time trying to learn the in's and out's of my
character.

Anyway.. sorry mr. Druid wherever you are. Next time I just wont group with
you :))
