Well, yeah, if I'm gralat farming in swamptown (which I do from time to time if I'm waiting for the giant blob or whatnot). If my AP's below 40, I always try to find a blob to suicide in order to keep my bombs. The regular-sized blobs do one full heart of damage. So I tend to seek them out when I have one heart left (less chance of a player killing me before I get a chance to suicide).
It sort of speaks to the current system when someone's running toward a baddy just to get killed by it. Just saying.
(I'm referring to the no-healing-under-40-AP system)
