    People are naturally biased towards attack over defense.

    The result is that in most games there's a surplus of attackers and a shortage of defenders, and thus it's usually the defenders who are the deciding factor between victory and defeat.

    That's why I'd rather be a Tank or Healer. Being a DD means I'm basically dependent upon the charity of a Tank and Healer willing to choose to squad with me instead of somebody else. If I played more regularly with a regular squad then it wouldn't matter, but since I play casually I'd rather be able to handle things solo if needs be.

    Actually, that's kind of what they did for the Rising Tide expansion. Patch 196 preloaded ~378 MB of data for that expansion. The actual release wasn't until six patches and 2.5 months later, for patch 233.

    Well... yeah. I meant, they aren't going to have maintenance and then in the patch notes say, "o btw the expansion's live u guise!!"

    *reserved for Kantorek*

    Why the reserved? :o Announcement mebbe?

    I prefer Blademaster...so I guess that follows under the DD/Tank bit. Out of the classes Ive played up to 9x (all but fishpeople), I enjoyed blademaster the most. I feel that is the most skill-based class that exists next to barb.

    lol, they're not just gonna slip the expansion into a random maintenance. We'll know in advance when it's coming, and as far as I can tell that won't be for a few more months.

    They just want us to wait as long as we possibly can before the expansion comes out LOL

    None of those options, really. I just prefer being self-sufficient. Mostly why I play a veno. Guess that comes from years of playing single-player PC RPGs.

    I like playing healing tanks in MMOs. Okay, maybe it's not my FAVORITE, but it's the type that I play the most.

    my initial plan was to play a wiz back in early 09, but i found out how hard it is early on. then i switched to a cleric and i leveled much faster xD.

    so its not that i enjoy healing a ton, cause i played on a cleric initially because of the different attack spells (plus the healing aspect). tbh i just enjoyed it more at the time.


    i've started another wiz alt like 8 days ago and its lvl 58 . and to be frank i think i enjoy it a lot more than i did before.

Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    And to kick off the usual maintenance conversation:

    What's your preferred playstyle and why: Tank, Healer, or DD?

    Been in all 3. Gotta say I like either DD or healing the most...

    DD:
    -Advantages:
    --Can take their time on "reloading" HP or MP, with some exceptions sometimes (like FCC, though I've never been in FCC so far).
    --Usually the team relies on them to finish a kill faster, particularly when such thing is really needed (teams with just 1 Tank and Cleric)
    --Usually don't have to get hurt, except for BMs and any fast aggro stealer.

    Disadvantages:
    --Usually get last spots on teams for anything, or no spots at all if too slow.
    --Last priority on Ressing list, depending on the situation.

    Healing:
    -Advantages:
    --Buffs and Res.
    --One of higher priorities on ressing list, along with Tanks (notice I say Tank and not BM/Barb, since some situations requires arcanes to face mobs/bosses, and skilled enough Light armor users can Tank stuff as well)
    --Don't have to get hurt to do their job, unless they are healer and tank at the same time. Or AOEs.

    -Disadvantages:
    --Quite vulnerable.
    --At some times requires VERY good judgement and skill to not mess up (Party Wipes, Heal aggro, etc). Some people just panic and let themselves be blown by the flow.
    --Often get yelled at for NOT doing their job at critical moments (party getting blown all at the same time), or at "stupid" moments (people rushing in assuming Clerics run like Cheetahs)

    On the Tank side I simply feel like fail when I lose focus of the boss im tanking, even more fail when I can't recover aggro AND it ends on a Wipe. However, if I lose aggro but someone else keeps it and doesn't get its HP dropped fast, I can live with it.
    Yesterday's history. Tomorrow's a mistery. But Today is a gift. That's why it's called Present.

    Ok thank you. I don't know what to call my playstyle. My pet does most of the work. I guess I have no playstyle since I dont tank, barly do damage, and I can only heal pets.
