I don't get bored in groups as a hunter, and I imagine I wouldn't as a rogue for the same reason -- I like being a peeler (I think I see it referred to in this game as an off-tank, but I'm not sure it's the same thing.) and I seem to be using that more as I've gone up in levels, not less. What I mean by peeler is that I'm watching the health of those other than the main tank, especially the squishies, and if I see one of them get aggro, I'm setting my cat on that mob. I'm still watching everyone's health and aggro though, a trait you're applying to tanks and healers, so I'm still interested by the same things you are -- just in a role that you perhaps didn't expect. I do have to say though that it's not near as intense as being primary healer for an instance group. That is a huge rush.

Where I get bored is in soloing those classes you say you find most interesting in group play, and I do agree with you that the tradeoff seems to be there. Since I solo much more often than I group until around 30 or 40, I have a hard time pushing myself past the early boredom of a priest or a warrior, even knowing that I'll be "rewarded" by fun group play later on.

Yeah, that makes me sad. DPS contributions seem to be taken for granted to some degree. Then again, maybe it's just that DPS never saves the day quite as obviously, a subject that I think we've touched on elsewhere. People notice that they almost died but were saved at the last minute. They don't notice when things just go smoothly.

One day, the Champions of the Fierce Bunny will ride again...<!--sizec--><!--/sizec-->
