My City Was Gone
Actually, I never have gotten harassed for attacking too much on my Defenders barring on the MoLGTF in which there was little need other than my buffing for my Empath to sit and wait for heals on the Mo attempt. After mission 1 and War by himself, I sat back for War and Pest, I healed one person with heal other and topped off the rest of the group for that battle. After I said that I only healed twice, they were happy for my Psionic Tornadoes and Psychic Screams because my buffing was doing all my healing work.
This frustration is people's belief that defenders shouldn't attack. Sure, do what you need to do buff/debuff wise and then go to town. Sitting back and waiting for high recharges or awaiting the occasional spike is just silly. Sometimes your best defense is a good offense, why not use what you're given (or frankly since you picked the power set/AT what you chose) to its full potential instead of sitting about doing nothing.
As for calling me a "n00b" to Defenders, you're silly.
looking back on the history of the Defender forums, and all the PREVIOUS threads of players "bellyaching about enforcing THEIR ideals on others" i would classify as n00bs...
somehow, this must be of a different kind, though i swear this was a copy/paste job of another thread a year ago. Sorry to mistake you as one THOSE n00bs...
its ok to feel frustrated with others at times, but thats a personal problem. Deal with it yourself or confide with a friend. But for heaven's sakes, peeps gotta stop posting up these pitiful threads just seeking sympathy from others. Every other AT face their own pressures and expectations from other players - Tanks, damage-dealers, Controllers... the Defender class isnt the only ones. So this isnt unique and its not NOT universal. Find better coping methods...
