At 3 o'clock AM, Day of the Great Gods, 5th of the Month of the Old Forces
on the Theran calendar Worogha perished, never to return.

Nicely done. There were times when you were hitting me so hard I was sure sanc had fallen only to retreat and try to recast it and nope, still up. Felt to me as if you and the cardinal kept the fortress afloat there for a while so I definitely think you were successful at that.

Goals completed on this character: Follow Baer, learn the new shaman class, try a dwarf shaman, get maran, bring Fortress back.

Goals failed: Tattoo, be deathful, get purifier.


Class Stats: Warpriest: Heavy Armor Paths: Divine Anger, Archon's Choir.


Heavy armor was ok, great for a dwarf with dern gear. At one point I hit -120 svspell and around 70/75 dam with frenzy/zeal.

Divine anger: I would say I only unlocked the true abilities of this path towards the end of Worogha's life. Affliction is nasty, unerring smite will net you kills, but it was more frustrating than almost any other skill. The damage levels vary significantly based on a few factors and considering the cool down.... pretty hard to get it up significantly high.

Archon's choir: This path is very very nice. All the skills work well together and especially great against chaotic characters.

Dwarf: I've done a few different races and dwarf HP allows you to stay in fights you have no business being in against characters who pump out damage.


Friends:
Amat: <3, you are a rock, if you weren't around Fortress would have collapsed. You play an excellent healer follower of Baer. I am jealous of your abilities to balance the duality of your character.

Cald: Saw you a handful of times but when I did, it was fun to watch you steamroll people.

Jycenna: Good luck, you are extremely deathful.

Devanshi: I grappled with the decision to boot you and afterwards, I was probably wrong. Sorry if that soured your experience, but I am glad you stuck with it for a little while after, even if you were suicidal...

Enemies:
Qint: I learned more about shaman skills from fighting you than from all my other fights. So thanks!

Ooglarr: You were a tough match up, then you got that damn staff. I don't mind the stun/disarm attempts, but tripping prog on flying enemies is very meh (I know its been like this forever, still hate it)

Jarld: Beast mode. In order to fight you, I would have to rock a/s/sanc/prot. Even then you were smart/cautious enough to make sure you never got too hurt.

Quarissa: Demons/devils/water elementals made me an easy fight for you. After you caught me the first couple of times, I was more wary of the time of day and where you might be.

Oloice/ogrot: throw the orcs together. You two are very skilled and made my life a lot harder. Anyone that can dish out high levels of damage and heal quickly will present a difficult problem for a dwarf shaman with limited mana.



Baer: Thanks, I couldn't wrap my brain around your religion to cinch it shut, I was close, but I couldn't verbalize it in the best way. You called me out on returning when Risgran deleted and you were right. I did it because a) Risgran was gone and b) the Fortress was about to eat the big ones.


I rage deleted after I died to Halifan because his stupid cloak fired when he was nearly dead and I then died because he healed/found me while I was aristeaia. Some imm talked me off the ledge and docked 1000 imm exp (probably should have taken away more i was being a real turd).

I decided to re-dedicate myself when Risgran deleted, got Captain by default and kinda ran with it. I picked up steam, some decent EQ and started rolling around, dying/winning/dying some more. When the Empire/Scions/Scarab were rolling it was constantly fighting and dying. I refused to delete until Fort was back on its feet. Today, I checked the members, saw that we had good numbers, good presence and most important, people who had nailed down a few PKs.

A rebuilt Fortress was the first check. The second check came this week when my work re-assigned me during a board meeting to a much more arduous and time consuming task. I hope that whoever gets to be the next Captain has a steady hand and can outlive Amataraysti .


I'll probably try and make something I can just log on and mess around with instead of the burdens of leadership and empowerment.

Good luck with your next season. :-P

Also your next character. I didn't think you were an excellent Captain, but you did a decent job.

Go Penguins!

Another of my dwarf friends and another Captain, another that will be missed. While a shaman and healer aren't going to necessarily lead a warpath, I think we did alright together! it angered Ama a bit when you booted Devanshi but she fizzled out oddly any way and it was a cool little divergence from the norm from an OOC entertainment perspective. You were a good friend to Ama and hope to soon. I will be around.

Enjoyed our talks and the few times we actually go to work together against others. Summon/bash is great, assuming you are the summoner or basher. Different play times and all that, though.

Best of luck with your next, whatever it is.

I never felt like I was your #1 priority. And I hope you never felt like I ever really chased you down unless you were up for the fight first...

So many bigger fish to fry for both of us, I think. ANyways... great job.

I'm sitting there, all set with the demon properly fed, strong water elemental, gaunt at the ready, but you go and hide in the Fortress for the whole night. Then it's time to refeed the demon, fight a random Crraya or two, get a new circle, and then have you sit in the Fort for the second night. Then it's time to reconjure, etc.

Not blaming you for not wanting to fight me, and I'm certainly glad I was able to catch you the times I did. Also appreciating you did come to fight from time to time.

Can't judge anything you did on the Fort side of things, but as an enemy it was solid, GLWYN!

Some great moments! Some not so great. The whole Maran debacle really irritated me. I think it glared at me so much because you were such a great character but then you'd do these crazy ooc things and I'd be like ARRGH why!

So my advice is - next time do everything you did with this one but if you feel like your temper's going to snap, log off instead of saying "#### it".

Thanks for putting up with it. It really was a manic type of character both I and OOC. If I hadn't had a couple of those debacles I would have been much more successful. Unfortunately I did and it's a lesson to learn. Thanks for the talks prods and all the help.
