A poem fom the past

[Daystar]

Greetings and salutations, this poem has a hit of a history but I'll lay that out below the poem. 

 

======================================

 

I am a Tank.

I put myself in to danger that others may work in safety.

I will do everything in my power to keep others safe, even if it means I will fall.

I am the first one into the battle, and the last one out.

I am a protector, a guardian, a champion.

I AM A TANK!

 

I am a Healer.

I will give you deliverance in your time of need.

I am the one who empowers the fight with my endless will. 

I am the assurance of gentle mercy's touch.

I am blessed Sanctity, sweet Salvation, our Hope.

My geatest triumph those saved from pain.

I AM A HEALER!

 

I am a Dps.

I am the one to bring the enemies' arrogance low.

The pillar of support never noticed while the group stands.

I control the foe and drive them crying to their knees in pain.

With my Magic, with my Blade, with my Bow I give out death.

I am the Slayer, the Destroyer, the Ravager.

I AM A DPS!

 

 

Darkness will be lit by our spirits and the heart of evil shall tremble! 

For while we are present, it will never know any great victory!

The tank section was originally written by Tiredtanker on the CoH tank forums.  With his permission I expanded the poem a bit and I made sure to hang onto it when the game vanished.  I hope you liked it.  :)

Call my Defender a healer again and you'll get an electrical blast where the sun don't shine :D.

But I'm not a DPS. DPS is just what I do.

I remember the tank vow from my first time playing in COH. I don't mind whether you call me defender or healer or support, as long as I make the team work better. I almost never play DPS but you made me look at them differently---which is one of the things poetry should do. You gave them all honor and dignity with your words.
