In the heat of the moment, I forgot to say this, but I apologize to the rest of you who weren't jumping in on the "wtf u doin standing there u da worst warr evr" bandwagon. And if you want an explanation, it's just as I was recommending earlier in the game: when the nasties were casting Spiteful Spirit on me, I was discontinuing physical attacks and switching to smites so I wouldn't be throwing more damage on myself and the rest of the party. And yes, I stood and took the hits, since my armor is hardier than that of most casters, last I checked.
Sometimes, I know better what I'm doing than a spectator.

Anyway, sorry for blowing up and ditching you -- there were some excellent players on that team.
