I still find it amusing that in 50 levels that one would think that once you hit 25 that would signal the halfway point of one’s heroic career. Bzzzt. Wrong answer. It’s actually 35 that marks the halfway point. I was painfully reminded of this earlier once Frost dinged 36 and that first xp bub creeped and creeped.
I’ve also forgotten just how much of a slog the late 30’s are. And by “slog” I mean, long and tedious pain in the ass. Mind you, this conflicts with my drive to get Frost to 45 post haste so she can be an active cardholder of the Jello Squashing Society. Once she hits 40 and she stays in Peregrine full time, I’m sure she’ll run the final 5 levels fine.
I’ve gotten her to the point where I can run her solo with a minimum of fuss. Jack is still a mixed bag for me as I’m learning how to manage a pet ontop of selling her as a healer (for the xp of course). I’m not a fan of uncontrolled pet aggro/behavior, so while I may seem like a gimped ‘troller for not always having her pet out in team missions, it’s more because I’m still trying to find that fine line of balance for myself.
On a related note, I was thinking earlier about how difficult it’s been leveling this gal as well as her team dependency early on. I have a better appreciation of empathy as a whole and how intense it is on a full team, and this is with a numpad full of binds. I tried the click on a teammate in the list and it worked for one or two people. Managing 7 that way? Nuh-uh. I’d pull all my hair out trying. I love Frost and I love playing her, but after she gets to 50, she’ll be my first and last empathy build.
