Q) We like to have fun, how's your sense of humor? Not so good? Good? You're a standup comedian you say?
A) say i have a good sense of humor, i wouldnt say im a standup but i have my moments (possibly from watching to much MASH, seriously one of the best scripted shows ive seen even to this day). I dont get offended by anything really and tend to take things in stride. I used to be a fan of the Ren and Stimpy brand of humor, but not so much anymore as ive grown up. But i like to think that i appreciate all kinds of humor as long as its not overly vulgar with lots of swearing, dont care for that.

Q) What other MMO's have you played if any: [Acquired a few skills from some other games eh? Tell us about them]
A)My first MMO was Anarchy online (Funcom's first MMO) at release, had to quit didnt know what the heck i was supose to do and the game itself was horrible at release. I rejoined a year or so later and had a blast for a good year or 2. I also played Shadowbane for a short time, i loved the city sieges and defence, and the guild politics, but the technical problems were bad and my friends left and the server died so i quit that game. I dabbled in EQ, EQ2, LotRO, SWG, CoH/V, nothing quite caught me till WoW. I played WoW since release and just recently quit when i found i had to force myself to log on.

Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other AoC guilds? [let us know!]
A)Well, i finally decided on a PvE server having experienced the horrible griefing in WoW PvP servers. Plus pve servers will still allow me to take place in keep seiges and border kingdom pvp ect on my own time. Hammerfist seems to fit my playstyle very well. I just recently graduated from college and have started working and i dont have time to play as much as i used to, and i want to be around others and make friends with people in the same situations. Also i am looking for a guild that dabbles in both pve and pvp with also fits your clan.


Q) What aspects of Age of Conan excite you the most or worry you? Why?
A)What excites me the most, well there are a few things actually, 1)im going to be playing a Bear Shaman and im happy that there is finally a chance to do something other than standing in the back and heal, i get to meele too!! (played a resto druid in WoW) 2)City building!!! i loved the cities in Shadowbane, knowing it was you and your guild that made them, just made me smile. 3) Seiges!! Seiging in Shadowbane was probablly the most fun i ever had in a MMO both attacking and defending, so sad that game had so many technical problems.

What worries me most likely is class balance that has so crippled WoW. I just hope that all classes will at least have SOME chance in pvp. In wow if you were a healing spec forget about it, it took forever to kill you but you could hardly kill anyone either. are you a tank? forget it same thing.

That is a promising change, isn't it! Although Vanguard does it with their cleric class also...and they can wear plate (overpowered imho). I am interested to see how well the Bear Shaman hold up in battle and heal as well - I hope you find it a rewarding class to play.But who cares about WoW and Vanguard?! It's all about AoC!! I am looking most forward to seeing the differences between the three priest classes and how they multi-task. Still planning to roll Tempest of Set for main.

But I digress, Nice app Dantos - welcome to the forums!

A) say i have a good sense of humor, i wouldnt say im a standup but i have my moments (possibly from watching to much MASH, seriously one of the best scripted shows ive seen even to this day).

I'm a mash lover too. I watch a couple re-runs daily. I never tire of them!

Also just wanted to say that was a nice app., let's see if any more of our members might have a comment or question for you.

I have every season of M*A*S*H on dvd. Who do you like better Colonel Blake or Colonel Potter?

Potter. I admire his sense of leadership and command of respect. Yet still is able to remain casual, and "hang with the boys" type of attitude.

*eagerly awaits Dantos' answer*

gotta go with Potter on this one, knew how to get things done and done right, strong sense of leadership but still humble. Great sense of humor and never forgot that its the enlisted men who make the army work and always showed them respect, also he didnt care for Burns so that gives him major points, but who liked him anyway =P. One of the few series that could make me tear up, Blake's last ep, Radar's last ep, and the final episode, great stuff. Sadly they dont make em like that anymore.

If I remember correctly the Bear Shaman does healing by fighting so this you should like.

Bear shamans (meele) and Tempest of Set (nuker) do more healing as they do more dmg, so it takes them a while to get to full healing power. Conversely the Priest of Mitra increases dmg the more it heals. So in a short Priests start out at full healing capacity and build toward greater damage and Bear and Set start out at full dmg capacity and build toward more healing.
