Earlier today, Mercreus and I decided to fight a new battle - the Arenas. We have teamed up as a 2v2 squadron and are known as Mushrooms of Doom. We practiced with a few skirmishes and didn't fare so well. It's pretty tough fighting against two other players as a mage and hunter. Both of us are ranged attackers, so once someone is able to close the gap, it's all over. Add to that the presence of healing on the other teams and we are usually outmatched. I'm fragile and without healing, die quickly, leaving poor Mercreus all alone (the other team usually targets me first). Hopefully we will be able to improve our strategy and put up a good fight. I certainly know that the vendors will not equip me with the best gear unless I can prove myself.
