True Confessions of a Frost Mage

[kandrathe]

I felt somewhat responsible, and that has inhibited me from playing the mage again a party.   
...
A couple of days ago in a thread on the Meetings Stone forum I said that I would not be playing Magead anymore in the foreseeable future.  In retrospect I think that would be a mistake.  I believe the adjustments in play style I will have to make in the Lurker parties will help keep my experience interesting and hopefully I will be able to make a good contribution to the party dynamics and success.

Gosh, I cannot tell you the number of stupid mistakes I've made. I call that gaining experience. But, because I play with some very fantastic Lurkers they seldom result in a wipe. In any PUG, they would have. There are some very key positions in a party that have additional responsibility that if done poorly at any moment will wipe the party. Maybe your actions/miscommunications did contribute to your wipe, but you have obviously learned something from that. It only gets more dangerous as you progress into the higher level instances. For example, in one of our last MC forays I blew a few pulls which resulted in additional angst and death, and I learned somethng from that. I also did some brilliant ones.
