I didn't think I'd be getting that corpse back, honestly. I figured it was at the bottom of a strange pit filled with monsters, from which there may have been no return (save a port, and you have to uninvis to cast it -- and loot the corpse) and it was unlikely to get a cleric and maybe a high lvl melee to go down there and kill the bad guys, then rezz me, at least, not in the allotted rez time. I was ready to retire that character and just use him for ports and what not because I was so disheartened by the apparent loss of all of my equipment. But somehow, one of my groupmates ran around frantically summoning my corpse until he successfully got it, despite being wayyyyyyyyy they heck higher than it.

After coming back to loot that corpse is when I decided I was gonna heal our monk with no regard for my own life or that of my groupmates.

I guess what I'm saying is that I didn't gain any xp on this excursion.

Ah, great EQ experiences...I avoided/survived most of these because I was a monk and I always kept thurg gate pots on me...

I can't tell you how many times I would find myself in the most unsafe location of a dungeon flopping my way to safety or having to gate...

Your experience also brings back a memory. My guid was doing a small raid, like 3-4 groups ( I forget where ). We had a really great Warrior, so all I had to do was off tank when needed, and spot heal my group if needed ( dorf pally of course ). A couple nights before I had gotten a really cool new sword, with a great stun proc. So, I decided to try the new blade out towards the end of our little raid, just once. Long story short, blade proc'd like crazy, I drew agro away from the Warrior, and the named killed me and my entire group while the Warrior was like wtf? I didn't know that my lil proc would draw all that agro..I swear lol. The warrior thought I was just being a douche, I just didn't know any better. Lesson learned. That was 10 years ago...now I am back for more!! Course, in p99, Pally's own agro and no one complains!

Yeah, Z-axis doesn't matter when summoning corpses.

The sad thing is that at level 40, be prepared to become more and more obsolete to groups until level 50 when even pickup groups desperate for a healer won't ask you to join.

buzzkill. No SoW for you 8-/

Best thing to do is group say "Taunt!" to the warrior. They love it when you say that
