Another day older and deeper in debt...
Some nights the XP flows like cheap wine, and some nights you just get royally pwn'd.
I was on a full team last night. We ripped through a mish full of Banished Pantheon like they were made of paper. The closest calls we had were when the Totems at the end started conning purple to me. But we had two defenders so all was well.
After that mish, we lost one of the defenders and picked up another blaster. And then we preceded to take a timed mish from my contact in Talos that involved defusing some bombs and rescuing some woman from the Devouring Earth. The baddies didn't con any worse than the ones in the first mish, but they stomped us good, several times. Our lone defender could give the rest of us buffs of "Clear Mind," but no one else was around to buff him, so he kept getting held and slept, while the rest of us got beat on by the Herders and Lesser Devoureds.
Three or four deaths in less than half an hour... and as if to add insult to injury, after my final death some weed monster literally planted a Tree of Life in my butt. Add in an earlier death in the cave with the Banished Pantheon before my sidekick and I got smart and found some more teammates... I finished the night about 20k in debt. Oh yeah... the enhancement drops in that mish sucked, too. I think when I return to that contact, I'm gonna flip her off. :P
The moral of the story: You really need TWO defenders with "Clear Mind" to fight effectively against the Devouring Earth
