For as nervous as you may be, healing your first dungeon could be called a nightmare. So what do you call it when you heal your first Nightmare Mode dungeon? Or even your second? Even though you can change up your build in The Secret World, many people — myself included — get used to playing a certain roll. And while I play healers regularly elsewhere, I never play them in our dungeon groups here. But when you’re needed, you step up, right?

So how did it go? In all, I think I fared pretty well. Of course, you can watch and judge for yourself. Ironically, of all things I proved that my team didn’t even need a need a healer! Well, at least at times. No, no ego bruising there…

In your endeavors in game as well as life, it’s always important to learn something. And learn something I DID! During our final delve into Drunder’s Spire of Rage in EverQuest II’s, I learned that even when you do everything right, things don’t always work out. And that it’s not always your — or your merc’s — fault.

Yah, who would have thought the merc could get off this time? And that wasn’t even the best lesson of the day. That honor goes to my new best friend, Squidface; I learned that when you have a Coercer merc and a trio of player healers, you can stalemate a bugged situation indefinitely! It will truly be the fight that never ends. Until you get bored, that is. Oh, and last lesson that is applicable no matter what you are doing: running out of bubbles is bad!

When you start singing “This is the fight that never ends…. it just goes on and on my friends!” You know that things aren’t going quite as planned! But that doesn’t mean you stop having fun.
