Noob Dungeons

Mar5

Healing 5 mans on my druid has been pretty amusing lately. I was chaining dungeons and here’s a few of them.

UK – DK tank is so bad it’s like trying to heal a mage tanking. Gets killed in a global and blames me. Group points out he’s not holding aggro for shit and isn’t in mitigation gear. He calls one of them a fag, I said “he goes or I go IDC” and they kick the tank.

UK again, another DK. His tanking is ok but he’s SO SLOW I don’t even care when the hunter starts pulling and tell him I’ll keep him healed. I normally don’t fuss about slow tanks but I’m talking 20 seconds between every god damn pull. The tank is all “blah blah do you tank?” and I’m like no but it shouldn’t be this damn slow. He gets kicked by me for “OMG SLOW”.

Nexus, warrior tank leaves immediately. We start clearing without a tank. Pally tank shows up, I throw lifebloom on him, he runs back to the start and after a few mins, leaves. DK tank comes up, and bypassing the first boss until we call him back. Nearly bypasses the second boss. Would have walked past the third boss if it wasn’t blocking the way. Guy claimed he was an engineer IRL and I said “please don’t tell me you build houses or bridges”. At the rock boss he commented “he would’ve been turned to paper sooner or later anyway”

The other druid points out the boss was a rock, not a tree.

Got a warrior tank at the next UK, named Worthlessowl-Draenor, who was so epic I asked him to marry me. Was pulling non stop, without taking barely any damage, while practically soloing the mobs. I just kind of stood back and stared.

Then the final attempt that night, UK again, a DK who was ok but kept beefing at the hunter for some reason. Couldn’t kick the guy for “2 hours”. Geez. The tank and I stood back while the rest of the party cleared the final hallway and the last boss without us. Oh well.

PVP Server

Mar2

I’ve been on my druid a bit lately, and I find being on a pvp server rather.. interesting. There are always horde camping the portal to Outlands, you phase in and insta-die every time. Honor Hold has griefers killing all the npcs pretty constantly. It’s weird seeing flagged horde that don’t try to kill you. At least, not same level ones. If it’s a 90, you are going to die. No one seems willing to have a same level fight.

That drake is ugly

Feb11

Ran some bgs and twice got into Arathi with a rogue named Professional (Silvermoon) who helped me defend mines. We lost one badly and won the next.  I dislike announcing repeatedly that I will help heal at stables, people cap and then all run off.

I saw this mount today which I understand drops off Madness.

574ocyla

Obviously it’s a reskinned drake and it just looks… awkward a bit. The horns are the size of its entire head.

Ladiesman said he would not be able to run 2’s again this week, soooo.  Ran 2’s with Ultrabomber but we did poorly and I dropped from 1603 to 1546.  Well, I won’t say *I* did poorly, because I didn’t.  One match he died because he was in a smoke bomb and I could not heal, another time he ran past a smoke bomb and clipped an edge of it so I was unable to throw a heal or two because of smoke bomb LoS, another fight against a DK and a resto shaman I couldn’t do anything more than tank the both of them and put all my skills into me NOT dying.  Then the last fight against a feral and a holy pally, it went on and on again with me only able to burn the holy pally occasionally because there was far too much pressure on me. I had no chance to burn the other pally, much less Mind Control, and any time they switched to my partner he dropped like a rock requiring all my attention on healing.  He ended up rage quitting that fight after about, 15 minutes, I think, and I went on to survive those 2 players solo another 5 minutes or so.  I don’t appreciate being ditched like that.

Ran the last half of LFR on my priest and won nothing.  It seems people win in streaks; a holy priest won both the pants token and the healing Ledger off hand.  Then ran a random and got a bag with the White Polar Bear.

Heroic Stone Guard

Feb11

We did heroic stoneguard last week and I got the heroic lanterns cloak. Woot. I also dropped herbing for tailoring. Flying around all of MoP and getting 2 stacks of herbs, is not cool.

Anyway I remember why I haven’t pvp’d much. Let me remind myself

Rogue Blues

Jan29

Been doing TB a lot, and sometimes we have 5 horde. But, I still dreadfully miss my favorite rogue, Ladiesman, there. There has not been a single engaging rogue there since. No fun.
