(there is a triage mini-game in the game setup exactly like the WoW quest to become an Artisan in first aid skill)

I could not believe how blatant a ripoff that was.

I haven't played a blademaster yet, and now I am concerned about doing so. I can see the problems you mentioned just from playing an evoker and a marksman. One of the problems that really bugs me is swarms. You can have multiple portals pop near you each popping multiple mobs that descend on you. Sometimes they are little tiny guys that run right up to your feet and it becomes very difficult to target them. Because they also block your movement, it becomes almost a given that you are going to die. Like I said earlier, hardcore would seem almost pointless. Your toon will die in ways that no amount of skill can prevent. The game can be good fun, but you have to go into it knowing there will be large doses of frustration. Don't get into the game at a time when you aren't in a mood to handle more frustration (like if you have already had a bad day and imagine your boss's face on each of the zombies coming at you).
