Very true. I had a PUG today on my same Mind/Therm that was pretty hard to keep everyone upright. Everyone was doing good but +3's against Nemesis was pretty rough. Also +3 against an AV Ice Mistral in a bank mish was humbling.

Back when I had an Empath (To which I deleted because playing an Empath is kinda taxing) I had spent several missions healing this tank, and decided that I needed to take out some stress, so I found a large enemy group, flew to the top of the zone and Teleported the tank up with me and let him fall into the enemy group.
I know I'm evil, but when the tank was like 'What did you do that for?!' I simply replied "I spent the last five missions healing you, I should be able to do some damage to you if I want" Surprisingly he just lol'd and we went on with our missions.... but no one ever accepted a teleport from me again. Mwuahahahahaha...
As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish, he'd stay away.

I tend to have the belief of Blasting helps the team. Heck, my Emp/Psi Defender has psi tornado going off as often as possible with the +recharge proc in it. From my Mid's build, she'll have Fortitude up every 15 seconds instead of 20 seconds if I blast. Not to mention the controls and damage of the blasts, regardless the set.

Never mind that my heals were firing as fast as they popped up and I was hardly short of endurance, he told me several times "JUST CONCENTRATE ON HEALING!" as if I were incapable of doing anything else, or as if doing nothing else was going to let me heal any faster.
After the second time I told him I thought he wanted a different kind of defender and quit. I put "Warning: I blast!" in my search comments. But frankly I rarely play my empath defenders because of morons like this. |

Despite having an empath since release (well, about a week after release, couldn't get the game right away) I don't really have any horrible stories. Well, none that aren't self inflicted. I may have bought into the "you need to focus on healing" thing at first. Then I tried to drop a DE herder with one unslotted blast while it was dropping a tree of life.

Granted, I don't PuG near as much as I used to, I should get back in to that, it's fun to have a workout once in a while
Disclaimer: Some PuGs are, in fact, made of awesome. Back when I was still leveling a couple PuGs became recurring groups. Others will tax you to your limits to keep them going.
