[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4640375, member: 22779"] Ehh? Why? You don't have unlimited healing surges. That's the point that keeps getting ignored. You take better than a 1/4 of your hit points in damage. You burn a healing surge. You are now down a healing surge. You can't stop because there is a time dependency in your example, so you push on. You get nickeled down again and burn a healing surge, maybe 2. You push on. You get tapped a again, this time you take a 5 minute break and blow 3 healing surges. Now you're down 6 healing surges. You have maybe 2 or 3 left. That next fight, you certainly aren't full. And if there's two more fights ahead, you have a serious problem. The idea that you're going to be maxed out each and every encounter simply isn't true. Unless we go back to the 3e paradigm of 1 encounter/day (since we're taking cheap edition shots), running out of healing surges is a serious threat. Kraydak, I'd respond to your three points, but, LostSoul basically said it better than I could. [/QUOTE]
