Congratulations with your firsts. You offered me much pain.
I didn't notice any unfamiliarity with the class, but perhaps it had been rooted out when you reached hero. Black shroud and my inability to exploit your racial vulnerability made my chances of killing you alone extremely slim. On the other hand through sheer perseverence, you were dangerous to me. When you were with others it was just a lost match. I had a few nail biting encounters involving you and some others chasing me and I enjoyed them, especially the ones where I survived

It is interesting to hear about the politics and backstabbing of Empire. From my, an outsider's point of view it looks like you are one big happy family, but I am glad to know you have your share of friction. (No sarcasm intended).

I think I understand perfectly your reasons for abandoning the character and I hope you have more fun with the next one.
