[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 5328715, member: 149"] There was a very long time before ANYONE in the group had heal, Gareth wasn't doing much healing back then either. Even when he was nearly as good as Luna and Gareth wasn't that much worse than them given that Druids get most healing spells a level behind clerics. When was the last time you reserved an action to counterspell or interrupt a casting? Those you certainly could have been doing and Gareth has just as good a caster level as most of the guys we go up against. Stopping some of those spells people have tossed as us, that hurt the ENTIRE GROUP would have been just as important as putting the hurt on a SINGLE target. That's called putting your ass on the line to achieve an important objective. We needed the shard to take him down and letting him get his hands on it, would have been... very, very, very bad. Though he was "just" a Daelkyr, not a Daelkyr Lord. If you wanted a good example of Nameless doing something stupid like Gareth's done, I'd have brought up the time when Nameless kicked open the door and took on Erma and her friends when they attacked us in the Grey House, which lead directly to getting himself killed and unleashing Xoriat on Eberron, but hey that's just my opinion. I try not to criticize people for something I am unwilling to do. Your criticism about nobody wanting to do the dull healing and support functions is perfectly valid, but I don't recall you ever volunteering to do boring unexciting things instead of the flashy action stuff. THAT'S what I find annoying. We've ALL always got an excuse or something else "really important" that we need to do during a round. Tell you what, you let Nameless go ahead of you in battle and I'll let Gareth haul the group around from one side of the planet to the other, decipher bits of obscure arcane lore and you can even kill the next army we go up against. You know, one guy at a time, since Gareth has virtually no AOE capability. I have invested a LOT more time in planning and trying to figure out what we might be facing than anyone else (other than Shil obviously) and you don't see a lot of what I do (not that it ever seems to do us any good mind you). But can you remind me what the last plan Korm, Luna or Six came up with was...? It seems to have slipped my mind. You have actually made an effort to contribute to planning on occasion and I do give you credit for that, but Korm, Luna and Six's contributions in this area is virtually non-existent and if I don't put forth an effort in this area pretty much nobody else does. Despite my BEGGING the rest of the group to try and help out in this area on a number of occasions. As I've told Six on a couple of occasions "Don't just tell me I'm doing things wrong. Tell me what I OUGHT to be doing instead." If YOU take the lead and set the example, then feel free to complain to your heart's content about how people are not working together and I will be right there cheering you on and happily taking instruction.
