Tank-o-tron

Jul1

Was on my shaman healing a WoE, which I’m completely tired of and sometimes just leave at the start. But the DK tank (Becquerel – Gorgonnash) started out with some kind of robot RPing thing

“Welcome to the tank-o-tron tanking suite program. Tank-o-tron will take you on a magical journey!”

Oh this should be good I thought.

“Tank-o-tron has many many ports. Tank-o-tron is plug and play if you get its drift”

The whole thing was rather amusing and made the run, which was really good, even better. We expressed appreciation for making this group more interesting and the druid, who must have queued with the tank, said he’s been tanking all morning and we were the first one to tell him how awesome he was.

“While tank-o-trons prime directive is to ensure meat-user safety he does not feel the same way”

Then someone says “so he can’t experience bro love”

tank replies “Bromance is within my operations”

So this opened up the party to ask random things like if he has punched DW in the face

“Tank-o-tron has punched Deathwing in the snout many times to establish dominance”

I laughed, was a pretty funny run.

Thanks, No-Show

We did our regular group of DS last night, but Sealan did not show up even though he accepted and we talked about the raid that morning. He was supposed to replace Shiftthis who quit, or something. We brought in Nytok instead who said he was capable of 2 healing everything and was. We did heroic morchok with me on the easier left side for once, but failed at heroic Yor’sahj for reasons unrelated to healing, did the rest on normal and stopped at boat. It was nice to see a druid properly geared, enchanted, reforged who actually breaks 15k hps when needed.

We brought a bad warlock named Strberrywine who never switched off boss during Yor’sahj, and died like 3x during Hagara (I called that). Also died during Ultraxion and I’m pretty sure on Blackhorn too. But he walked away with like 5 pieces of gear.

We also had a paladin named Trance who claims he main raids with Rocket Surgery on another class. He wanted to come as a holy pally with a 333 blue neck piece, and 4-5 pieces of DPS PVP gear. Including one dps pvp TRINKET. I was like uh do you have your real healing gear in another pair of pants? No.

He tanked instead and took SO MUCH damage I couldn’t smite heal like at all, and repeatedly lost him between greater heals.

I leveled Enchanting

Removed mining now that my pally has it, and spent all day the other day and about 13k or more, leveling enchanting.  It was an important profession I really should have done earlier, but end of expansion is a good time to do it. I meant to do it when I first started this character, since people always said tailoring and enchanting went well together but as a new player, it was not even remotely affordable and I needed mining for money.

Ran a WoE where I got lucky with RNG and hit nearly 125k at the last boss, and got this comment.

Anyway I got picked up for a 2/8 DS the other day, we got up to Madness then people had to go.  We had a mage named Epicsnoww as fire who only did 13k dps, then did 5k on Hagara then died.  He was kicked.  We had a healer in 3 blues with no gems/enchants which didn’t help either.  Nothing dropped I could even roll on.

What’s the prob, we didn’t wipe!

LFR and randoms lately make me so angry I want to stop playing. I had an Ahune random on my shaman today, the hunter was in the back doing nothing (Jellycakes-Sargeras) and I was like “thanks for being useless hunter” and when it died, after doing 30 dps, and 1830 at the end said “what’s the prob we didn’t wipe”. Yeah, just sit back and do nothing and let other people carry you. Pisses me off so bad.

Maybe you should GO

Our normal raid, siiiiiiiiiigh. We brought a terrible resto druid, and I solo healed my side of heroic Morchok. The first attempt went bad when Shift was left to solo heal his side and I had the bad druid, and Scuba didn’t go heals. Shift said it was because people were “doing things wrong” though.

Heroic Vagaries of Time dropped and I beat the bad druid on it. That is good because my rage would have rivaled the power of the sun itself if he had won it. The bad druid was Healzonwhelz.

Anyway I did 50% of the healing with 3 healers basically all the fights up to Ultraxion, where Shift threw a fit and left and we got that Albrightd paladin who was good. He said something about “of course you have top heals because of your gear” and I said I’d be top heals in normal gear and I’m only assuming he got upset. But he was often doing like 10k hps so whatever.

Sealan later reviewed Shifts spec and said some things were wrong, he was missing head/shoulder enchant, but said he should really be doing more healing than he is in that gear. I mentioned it in guild the next day and Scuba said “maybe he just doesn’t care”. Maybe, but I’m not raiding with people that don’t care enough to be good. You want to be bad, go do LFR.
