In my experience it’s not the sexiness that’s a problem, it’s ego. The camwhore heal/buff was nice when you got it, but now it feels like an ability to stall.

The Pump Me Up ability rarely seems to make me able to kill a thread in less turns that I otherwise would. What it does is heal me for a bit more than a thread attack and it is essentially free, or at least very cheap to use since the buff almost always allows you to finish a thread of with one of the less sexiness costly attacks. The most important thing the buff does, which is quite usefull, is that by being able to ‘stall’ every 3rd turn you get to use Threaten to the Contact Authorities and Bad Poetry attacks more often as spending turns stalling with Pump Me Up will lower the countdown on the stronger attacks.

with my level 8 attack (call the fuzz, heh) i’m finding that buffing seems more and more something to do when I’ve got no other attacks.

Yeah, this is what I’m trying to say.
