    Default FvS are "Support Toons"?

    I may give up running eBoB for fast tokens and what not... Last time it was the 12 year olds, now I have players telling me to be a support only player? Should have known when he was dead once before i arrived... Guess he wasn't "All Mighty"...



    At least he told me he was "uber" even though they had the slowest endfight I can recall... Seriously though, I am not an ultimate endgame player, but my 32pt Evoker is pretty well geared and can solo his share of epic content... The gent who sent a tell let me know he had squelched some of these guys in the past, but tried to give them another shot... He ended that...

    /rant off...

    Yes. They support the group in their own way(s), like the rest of the group members.

    They 'support' the group by soloing ahead and clearing the way to the chests.

    I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

    "Support" can mean propping up weaker classes.

    Support can also mean carrying soulstones

    some of the people, and I use that term loosely, in this game think that every
    "toon" besides theirs is a support "toon". specifically, everyone is there to
    enable that specific player to be the superhero regardless of which class or build
    the superhero is playing.

    And usually a moral support in someones backpack. I thinking about charging you rent already.

    As for favored souls in general, aren't they there to heal barbarians while sorc soloes the quest?

    These are the situations where my cleric tells the clownboy "You are approaching the fine line of 'do I heal this clown or let him die and finish the quest myself?'". I will play my toon my way. If you get healed, fine. If you wanna be a butthead, your problem not mine.

    Or, one could zerg past the mobs to the boss and kill him. Finish out, and leave the 'uber' to wonder how they will reach their loot without repeatedly dying. If they reach it at all...

    I had a dude do szomething similar when I was on my cleric. Dude started griefing me about my build BEFORE WE STARTED QUEST! It was amarath and he was barbarian. Needless to say he didn't get one heal and died repeatedly while rest of the group had fun running quest with plenty of heals. Its amazing how many tool sheds play this game.

    Funny how folks can learn to be included in my Mass Heals when that happens!

    All this reminds me that Wednesday at 11PM EDST is the Thelanis All-FvS Hard Shroud...imagine how much "support" we will have!
