Anyways, last night as she was playing she had to go AFK to cook. Since she was in a guild group she asked me to man her computer for a few minutes. She was a healer, with a tank, rogue and some caster in group. I was shown a few heal spells and the map and left to my own devices.
Now, I have a 62 cleric and have been a healer for five years, but I just could not manage in EQ2. First off, I was having trouble moving because of my girlfriend's setup. While inverting the mouse my group went off and engaged in a mob. By the time I caught up the MT was dead, rogue almost dead and the caster was hiding somewhere. I tried to heal the rogue, couldn't keep up, rogue died and I was next.
Rezzes all around, then we get back together. I now am comfortable with the control setup, so we start off again. Next mob we take, I'm doing all right, healing the main tank...oops I think I hit the wrong spell...wow that's got a long casting time. I wonder what it's gonna do....nothing? Damn, better get those heals going. But I don't know which heal is which - quick small heal or big long heal. Eventually the tank dies again, I'm out of power and the rogue is getting beat on...when he somehow manages to win!
After that I quickly vacated the seat before my girlfriend could stab me with her fork for getting everyone killed. I made my apologies and went back to Counter-Strike, telling my gf that I sucked at EQ2 and she should stop bothering me to play.
