Quote:The best thing is when it takes them forever to kill you, they finally take you out, and Spirit of Redemption pops up to give you an additional 15 seconds of absolute free healing. All too often that winds up turning the tide of a fight. Take that, you bastards. :)Funny how you (who often mocked Improved Dying in the past) are finding it amazing now. :)
Overall, I would say that you should not discount a team defense. In particular, classes with crowd control can make a HUGE difference in a fight if they are given time to disrupt the other team's actions. As said feral druid in Bolty's group, I usually spend most of my time disrupting the opposing team's warriors (because they eat Bolty alive) and healers to try and keep them from killing our team members and disrupt their ability to keep their team members alive. Most of the time, it feels like I'm definitely helping the group out.
Of course, in my feral druid experience, the best (or at least funniest) part is when the opposing team's melee DPS decides that I am too annoying to be left alone, so they attack me. So I shift to bear form and laugh at them from behind my 22k armor, 40% dodge and 14k life as I hit them with demoralizing roar, faerie fire everyone and feral charge healers to lock them up. That sort of meat shield getting attacked rather than our shaman or priest definitely makes things a bit easier. :)
