Just came back from a long hiatus and I am bad...

I mean really bad. I don't remember ever dying this much, and playing a healer is just bad news for everyone in the party. Anyone ever have this issue after taking a long break? I thought it would go away after a few days but it almost feels like I'm relearning DDO all over again.

Well if you went the Elite Streak way it's normal. You can thanks all the whiny wanabee completionist that couldn't farm their completionist in a decent amount of time ( in their opinion )

If you do Epic end game content you can thank Shade, it's because he whined too much about how easy DDO was that we have to put up with some of the stuff there.

if you solo quests on normal, you're doing it wrong like me, a Cleric, a FvS or a Wizard should be able to go through any non end game content at level.

I play terribly just from not using a particular class.  I switched to my monk this week and had trouble hitting Ugg Confused Meat Shield with his earth ellies up in Moving Targets.  I forgot I could use sunder, human action boost attack, or *gasp* turn power attack off.

ive never had much problem coming back to melees, but casters are more difficult.  after a break, i tried coming back to my wiz only to find that i had forgotten half of his hotkeys and his specs werent ideal anymore.

so i just TR'ed him.  let me relearn to play him all over again.

I was running with a pretty high end guild running elite streaks constantly. I think it's just a class thing, a wf fvs can't dps it's way out of a paperbag on elite against someone who has TRed their melee like fifty thousand times.

I had trouble when I came back after several weeks. I also have trouble when I play a class I haven't played in awhile, like when I was ignoring my wiz and then came back to it.

Then again, I suck anyway. But it's even more obvious if I've been gone. Like, firewalls on the ceiling obvious.

Just TRed my main character from Wiz to FvS after two years, and now Imess up with the hotbars constantly. Then again, I messed up with the hotbars when I was still a Wizard, too. Not as much toward the end, but it still happened. Oddly enough, I seemed to be more competent after about 3 drinks.

To the OP: don't worry, it'll get better. I mean, even I got better. A little  Cheesy

You should be able to, and you don't have to at the same time.  Just hit 12 and you can BB your way out of it.

Press the Hjeal button more.  Clerics and Favored Souls are invincible.  Didn't you get Shade's memo?

I use to feel pretty invincible back when I was playing this game 12 hours a day every day. I NEVER died. Now? not so much. Die all the time. I also care a lot less, that could be part of it.

One time, I died, but I had full hp and was only missing 100 sp.  I also found out negative energy burst healed me even though I was dead.  Go figure.

At low levels I agree.  Once you get Holy Smite at level 8, you can keep up with Maximize and Empower on.  Once you get Blade Barrier at 12, you own the kill count.  BB is the best zerg spell in the game, especially on elite.
