You're kidding!!!!  Doesn't it hurt, especially dual wielding in berserker stance?  Seriously though, if Durambar is going to be tanking multiple mobs, he'll need healing.  Kosch is not really into healing, and I don't think I'm comfortable with that.

Funnily enough, I do let my warriors do that when I'm on Aleri. Makes things much more interesting. ;)

Go with what you're comfortable doing though. I used to be much more cautious with Aleri than I am now.

That's what Mind Soothe is for (and maybe not mind controlling the target you really wanted).  This happened to me once last time, which is when I started mind soothing in trickier ones.

Well, part of me body pulling was planned because I don't like the mind control pulls in general. I'd much rather mind control after pulls than before simply because if it (or mind soothe) gets resisted, everything comes to me and it's bad to have everything come to your only healer to start things off. Fade only works if someone else is registered on the hate list too. It was a harsh lesson to teach folks, but we lived anyway. ;) They let me mind control how I wanted to after that and things ran so much better after that. :D Yeah, I'm evil. :blush:

Mind Controlling the medics during combat sounds like a good idea.  But I'm not comfortable with being unable to heal in combat in most situations.  Probably just that Necrali has very rarely ever had a backup healer along.  Call me paranoid if you wish.

When Mogo is in my group, I'll go for it  :P

I know how you feel. For the longest time mind control was more of a last resort/only if I have to skill because Aleri never had backup healing. What snapped her out of it was a Bael'Gar run. None of us had ever been there and we kept having big problems with the pulls so we decided that our tactics had to change so I went to mindcontrol a medic. Turns out the mage sheeped the same one I was going to mind control so I got a free look at the skills the medic had available and then I could safely release and go back to healing without bad things happening or trying to figure out the skills right there on the fly. You've got a warlock, correct? So you'll be more familiar with having a pet bar than some priests are. Yeah, you'll have to manually use the skills instead of just having them autocast, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue. If you aren't comfortable with forcing Kosch to "STFU and heal" ( :wub: to the enhancement shaman), then you may want to just worry about MC'ing only the medics rather than MCing things in the groups of dwarves without healers in them. MC'ing the medics allowed me to do both and was a good way to break out of that reluctance to use all the tools available to the priest. But trust me, I definitely know what it's like to run as the only healer in the group so you just don't want to take unnecessary risks. :) I was glad I was forced into mind controlling. It really helped my play. Of course, up to that point we were usually good on crowd control anyway so I didn't need to ever really worry about mind control.

Edit: "I" does not equal "We".
