Interesting what you said about pallies in group play.
Pallies that play in 5-mans with my main (warrior) usually end up with watch-the-healer duties, and play off-tank to my main. I can't say they don't contribute, because they do. I miss things, or we get an add when I'm busily tying down 2 mobs already. And a little extra healing when that mob that broke sheep ate the healer in 2 bites can make the diff between a wipe and surviving to res the healer.
For a small funny: Was helping guildies in Maraudon, had just killed the princess...we jumped over the waterfall, (2 mages, healer, warrior, druid that helped w/princess and before gone to bed), and the 1st mage down lands right smack on top of Rotgrip....CHOMP. Dead mage. We killed Rotgrip, but only because I was overleveled.....talk about a surprise.
