Hi GenJen, you’re my friend in game LOL. Actually, your linker3 was one of the inspirations of my build. If you have Thauma’s transpose, you can technically keep your Max HP higher than that of a full CON build. That’s why it’s better if you level with a Cleric since they can keep your HP full while you clear all the mobs for them.
As for the people panicking, yes that happens, like when we were grinding. But I think once you coordinated with a team (in GvG for example) you’ll have no more problem with that.
