I'm completely useless(technical/mechanical advice) to you since it's my first time as a WHM and I've attempted HER several times this week*tear*. There have been instances where I have made mistakes that make me question my competence as a healer*double-tear*. I'm mainly disheartened by the high-level folks that have been rude to me, and disband grp(it makes me a sad panda and it doesn't help as much as they think it does). It's like an episode of scooby-doo where you get to the end to see who the bad guy is, only to find out: there is no one to unmask(what the french-toast!)now the whole episode was a worthless waste of narrative now I have to watch it AGAIN with the hope of a better ending. You're right about the learning experience since this is the point in the game where folks are essentially forced to snap out of their idea of mechanics/role and gel as a team with any group of people their thrown into the "pot" with. Anyway, you're not alone and congrats on defeating her.
