What we discussed yesterday after Floryn and BP left the team, is that we should likely only have Mellified learning in this dungeon. Especially on the final boss - otherwise, learning the fight is just going to be painful.

I am happy to come along - but want to say that if you have an experienced DPS that would like to come along instead, then that is 110% ok with me. I can always offer tanking advice without being in the instance.
If you find yourself forced to mercilessly slaughter your teammates because they become infected with some rare mutation, keep in mind that you are only doing your job -
They would do the same for you.

I confirm that I can try tank and lets see how it goes with the rest of the roles on the night. I'm sure we will be fine! Thanks for last night everyone

I can DPS too. That is not a problem. Wayeb Xul showed me I need to improve in fists, so no real need to jump into HR with the same stats.

I also can leech it. I have done this as a leecher, when Nick was learning tanking.

I just want us to be realistic :D I am not the worlds best DPSer - if we have a DPS check, I might help us not reach it!

On the other side, it's Machine Tyrant. The longer we run, the better we get. :)

While that holds true for tank and healer, the whole point for being a good DPS there is to be able to actually do really high dps under the tricky movement conditions imposed by HR6. I'm comfortable leeching that encounter, but as DPS my DPS is usually lower than as leech, due to me mostly being out of range.

I agree. I suggest we do the same team as before.

If it's to hard, BrokenPieces can DPS and Durendal can leech. If that fails, Katelin can tank and Mellified can DPS. But I am sure neither of these options will be needed.
