I leave it on public hoping someone else will pick up pots. Instead I see them running past the nug gold...
Makes one wonder is feeling usefull just so overrated nowadays. Always nice to try max out XP public solo runs by getting higher killstreaks and not stopping for anything before stage is clear of enemies. Learned quite early (meaning just recently, when solo peri has become option for me...) to not open door for font before collecting pots also in FC. It is not fun to teleport from TR door to that guy with 5 health bars
I've had quite many nice runs recently, actually with couple different random groups at different nights. We did multiple NM dragon runs with first and few NM randoms with other. Pretty rare for me find random groups at NM at all, let alone decent one. Of course just to balance things had few miserable perilous matches too. Fault was all mine, but it wasn't my fault. One bad (ok, match was ok, group was cool, but i sucked) run was against darkspawn and I was running assassinate. FC stage 4 I fell twice in a row (first went straight to fade without delay, I was little bit surprised when I was revived from that stage, just not by as much as I was by how I was killed). Funny thing is I was cloaked when bolter shot me, cloak from flank attack. After revive instantly took stealth. I took few steps and waited for my revence. Wasn't long wait though, just got shot by probably the very same bolter.
I still often run my level ones through threatening (if I have to run public solo, least my level ones get through plus if newbies come along (besides me, I mean) allways better), and I think I gave one group some "what an earht is that guy doing" moment. Cleaned language version
I ran with virtuoso and by stage 2 in FC there were 3 others, two of them in fade... They just kept running separately enough and my barriers were of no help. Cant remember did we get reaver in that stage allready or did he/she come later. Point is that in stage 5 there were "few" fade instances and I ended up battling with reaver against alpha. Reaver played well allright, but just wasn't geared enough to make damage to alpha. And all my potions used all I could do was to try and give little sparks of barrier when needed for reaver and rest of the time just trying to survive. And to that end, I was having about 0,5 bars health, reaver not in much better state and only few enemies left when Igot to that "funny" moment... Tried to evade enemies and was jumping next to trebuchet and virtuoso decided to grap the loading wheel
Of course animation clitched and wheel kept turning and turning, I was screaming in my head and all I could do was to wait imminent death. To my, and I think to everyones, surprise death did not come. And on the bonus side, XP was high, and it's not that often there is trebuchet fire to celebrate victory 
TL;DR There are decent randoms too, and I'm fun to play with. Usually not intentionally
