He would rush into a mass of 5-10 raptors and it was all I could do to keep him alive and being as mana conservative as I could, then I would recover mana, skin everything and we would move onto the next group. He must have had his emotes on hot keys, because after every scrim his toon would scream "Brilliant!, Fantastic!" After an hour with no deaths, and completing the raptor quests, she was level 23 and had capped skinning at 225 and with all the medium and heavy leather went up at least 25 skills. I'd say it was pure white knuckle gaming at its best. The secret of insane warriors is to let them get to 60% health before even worrying about them.
My advice is when you are "the healer", you heal the ones that are trying to keep you alive.

Hehehe... when I'm with my priest duo partner, this is how I play.
Why? Well, if your priest fully admits he wants to play a healbot and then mentions he hates being bored, well, I'm going to do my absolute best to make sure he isn't bored, by pulling when he's at 50% mana and occasionally fighting a crowd of 10 because the group is good enough to handle it.
I wouldn't recommend to any warriors out there to try this. I'd more recommend starting slow, testing the group's skill, and cranking up the speed from there.
Still, the fact you kept the man alive through this, and he kept hate... I hope you added him to your friends list, anyone that can keep hate on that size of a group, even when that overleveled, is a good tank.
Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children, is increased with tales, so is the other.
