I had fun, did most of what I wanted to do. Six trains and a perfect con left, I had thought of deleting the last time I was killed at the Angel. Oh well. Cautious, careful, and rarely aggressive....originally thought of becoming a Tribunal.

As for the panther, it sucks, plain and simple. Not offensive enough for an offensive form, and doesn't dodge as much as a utility. Sure with aura/barrier/shield/protection and 1350hp it fights good, but don't most people? My inability to kill anyone was my main dislike, and yes, I know part of that was my fault, after all, isn't an offense/air supposed to do well? I was hoping for lion/falcon, but got panther/golden eagle. Played him a while, but never really liked the forms. I think it's insane how much of a difference barrier makes. After I lost them, they were never there again, so I got to see how lame the panther really was, oh well. Got to explore some, learned a good deal. Can a prepped panther win against warriors in a fight, yes. Win just means they flee.

Off to the farewells....

Entropy, oh the fun in Hell that one time with the 10 of us. Very entertaining!

Johan, powerhouse is all I can say. Always ready for a fight, impale was a pain.

Acallsho, you fled a couple of times when I was full prepd, but when you were ready I stood no chance, a golden eagle just can't get away from a falcon. Tips to you for being there in the air. I would have stood a chance, but we both know why I didn't.

Dugruain, I tried to give you hell about attacking me in town, prolly should have played more and kept it up, oh well.

Dullameh, what can I say, keep up the fight.

Marcalius, I wanted to maybe go into the Inferno sometime, but you burned out. The times we traveled I liked, always ready to sing.

Sinde, tough thief, props to ya.

Tilaen, oh I was so happy when you left, a great pain in the ass Chancellor, but you stayed IC.

Grunch, damn orc, bashing me when I was young!

Paladins in general, no real reason for me to bother attacking you alone, shield-sword specs just wrath me till I flee, and 2handed specs just outdamage me with moves. I could only win with barrier/aura/shield/protection/invoker shields, and by win I mean make you flee. Did I mention I disliked the panther?

I know I left out people, sorry about that. Maybe I will go become a warrior...

That pretty sums up my thoughts on panther. Give me lion/tiger/ram any day over panther/jaguar. Not sure where alligator fits in, but I'd probably rather have it than panther/jaguar if only for the underwater utility.

I enjoyed our travels greatly friend. I am sure there will be more in other lifes.
