The DCUO Community feels smaller…

Yeah...I doubt trolling over just not knowing what is going on...well other than 'pew pew pew'.

A common theme in a lot of these runs is DOT's that make pickups very difficult. That added to the fact that some people DON'T do pickups...well it spells issues. Not that we can't have DOT's....just that if you go into a run where you know they will be interfering...especially if you are running a no healer run...better pack a shield (or 2...as you say). Most people won't run shields if it means removing a pew pew slot. It's either that or they don't understand the purpose of shields....could be either really.

Oh, I just remembered the other rough 4-player instance with Omnibus with your DOT comment. War of the Light: Mist Recovery final fight with Hank Henshaw's yellow flames. Most players fight too close and get hit with that, and then the group wipes trying to pick up in the flames.
