i *think* i got squelched on my bard main, but i'm not really sure... i've no intention of running with the guy again nor talking to him anyway, so i don't really have a way of checking...but anyway...
her 2nd life was sorcerer. with a bard splash. so i was running around in light armor swinging a minII greatsword. definitely not your typical sorc. joined a Piker's Fate run. first life i got no boots. third life was ALREADY PLANNED as a very heavily melee-centric warchanter bard... madstone boots fell in my name, and i made joyful noises and quickly looted MY boots (i had no desire to wait a whole 'nother life and possibly 20+ completions to get the boots just because i was a caster THIS life and didn't actually need them THIS life). the raid leader made a few noises about how i was an idiot for looting madstones on a caster and i must not know what they really do.
i dropped group and banked em. they have been very useful and enjoyed this life.
