Hey, thanks.
To continue progression story - my team was able to clear every mob up to the sleeper so I'm thinking i'll start trying PoFire named when I see them up. I attempted the sleeper but was overwhelmed so I didnt get him locked down. i'll get him next time.
I've started focusing on how to get more out of less and have found that keeping my team ready for coh while the key players clear trash is the only way to go... it prettymuch eliminates the room for error from distractions. Maybe soon i'll have the ability to skip trash when I get COH up on my Rogue.
There was a problem in sleepers where I couldnt give my bot an item because a trigger had us on aggro and I eventually ended up trying to relog to give the bot the item. When I got back I was aggro again and couldnt spawn my bot.... Long story short, I moved my bot spawn hotkey to #1 and spammed it as I was spawning from another relog and the bot came up fine - even though I couldnt hand off the much needed item. I got my rogue the LDON dagger, dropped in a letter of forgotten memories and Sharp Blade, and the bot is pulling 2kdps buffed. I'm hoping that the +Piercing face aug will add some base attack for a little extra bump. The bot is an instrumental part of the group.
My life has changed since Bront's tip. I owe him gold.
