When I have a hard time without 4000 ego at times (bad .moars and low def on some alts), he must have boosted his Defense enough that healing actually became viable since they often do above 400 damage if your Def is only around 70

With a focus on defense, with the best items that a re-re can equip, you can get +98, or +99 if you’re willing to forgoe 8 offense. This is untested, but if the defense effect caps at near that, and the damage per hit is reduced to about 300, you should, with extreme care and a ****load of 5HTP, be able to complete the level 35 forums. This is the only realistic strategy I can think of as with items only you can’t boost ego enough.
