Nerf Chloromancers
Yesterday, while doing the dailies with my Chloromancer -- in the hopes of finally reaching level 20 and being able to open the bag from the Silverwood puzzle and one huge planar stone I got from somewhere -- we had a world invasion -- which is good, I was kinda missing that. First of all, I finally figured out what the shields that appear in the minimap means: It's the wardstones that are under attack and you should defend. Also, it seems the invasions are not targeting heavily fortified wardstones, like the Quicksilver College wardstones (at least, that's the conclusion I reached with 2 world invasions). Now, while defending one wardstone with a group with no clue what they were doing, I managed to aggro a whole invasion while the raid was focusing on their pretty nails or were talking about their new hairdo or something like that. Scared, I tried to run away but you know that never works. I pushed Bloom and Flourish just to keep myself from dying twice when I thought "Well, fuck this" and start spreading Withering Vines all around. That's when the weirdest thing happened: I was, suddenly, a "drain tank": I was getting so much healing from the vines that I could manage to tank two invasions with just that. That put a smile on my (IRL) face, to be honest. (Ok, I think I need to clarify something: The invaders were level 11 elites while I was level 19. But they were *hurting* me pretty bad, as there were 7 or 8 of them attacking me. Still think it was cool.)
