Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hammerhead" data-source="post: 712115" data-attributes="member: 73">Huh. I posted a message earlier about my charge actions to the very square Tarkus was flamestriking, and I KNOW I saw it in the thread. I guess I need to think of a new action.And Argent, I don't think my comments are really unjustified. Let's look at the track record here, shall we?Rex Humana was the cleric with a necklace of fireballs. Naturally, as a tank cleric, his dexterity score and reflex save is low. Nor does Rex protect himself from fire in ANY way. When Rex is first fireballed, it is likely the necklace would go off, perhaps finishing Rex off and killing the rest of the group. Not the smartest move there. Then, you cast very few buffs upon yourself, despite having several memorized. I think a few Shield of Protections, Endure Elements, Protection from Elements, Bull's Strength's, and Endurances would help the party greatly. And you also buff yourself with Divine Favor, Bull's Strength, Endurance, and Greater Magic Weapon, turning you into a combat machine, especially if you use your excess cash to buy yourself an amazing Bead of Karma. Then, you take up room in a narrow hallway in a tough fight, not allowing a more effective fighter to engage the enemy. I mean, you did twelve damage that fight.Upon healing after that fight, you suggested we wait to use a wand of CLW, allowing the enemy to prepare, attack us, and wait long enough for Groknar's Rage, and everyone's Haste to expire. Not a smart move. Even after this suggestion was shouted down, you still used a CLW wand, instead of a more powerful healing spell. Likewise, when Groknar was down to thirteen hit points (essentially the equivalent of Tarkus being down to seven), you refused to cast a life saving healing spell, instead wasting a fourth level spell to Summon Monster, which was probably disrupted anyway, given its Full Round casting time, and would be useless if cast. Summon Four is probably the worst Summons for sheer combat effectiveness. You could have at least cast it BEFORE going into battle.Then, according to my perception, you were flamestriking the very square I was charging into. Somehow, my post was deleted or altered, or never really appeared and I imagined the whole thing. Groknar goes before Tarkus, and would have died from the FlameStrike. Granted, Groknar is no combat genius. His specialty is sheer destruction, but that works for him. Tarkus's approach, whatever that is, doesn't. I don't like telling people what to do, but when their poor tactics get my character killed (or about to), I have to step in.Don't take this personally. It's not an attack. But your combat tactics need some work.</blockquote>
