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.

Can’t Standya

We did 8/8 DS last night on my pally and, I’m sorry I’m not joining a group with Bella again. I’m not.

He’s still using the talent points I use for pvp, so losing out on Train of Thought. He replaced all the purified demonseyes with the epic version of the same thing, purified shadow spinel. He still has only 2/4 tier in the LFR version and did not even roll on the hands that I won. I meant to give them to him after I won a 403 pair of gloves since I was 5/5 tier but he logged too fast.

And he replaced Insignia of the Corrupted Mind, which has a lot of int but “on dps” proc with Bottled Wishes, which has static haste (bad for healers) and on use SPELLPOWER. SO FUCKING FAIL I CAN’T STAND IT.

This is in addition to the other fails like using that poison dagger from DW and having to be TOLD to roll on Vagaries a few raids ago, me having to tell him 2-3 times to get the red buff on Ultraxion and still only doing 15k hps (my priest can hit 30k with it easy), etc etc.

Then last night I focus’d him because I often had to pump out 20k hps, and I did not see his target change from Kayoni, like, ever. He kept using greater heal on her whether she needed it or not, never healing anyone else unless it was “splash heals” from PoH or PoM.

I won maw of the dragonlord which Bella only rolled on belatedly, 403 plate gloves, and the gloves tier token.

Don’t be a Brat

Last night I ran a few old dungeons and had an AMAZING tank who spoke English from GOLDRINN. Couldn’t believe it.  We ran through every thing like CRAZY.

Jan asked me to do bgs so I dropped that group to do it, we had Wrathofgod again and some Bubbledin paladin, which I think we had before.  Some paladin always “claims” healing Wrath like they are dating or something.  We did an AB against what they called a 15 man premade (which I didn’t think you could do outside of RBGs?) with 5 rogues but we smoked them anyway.  Rogues were bad, imo.  Anyway I was at farm and the paladin told me I could leave.  I was like “I could” and didn’t leave.  I had just done my best to keep 4 dps from capping the farm flag, YOU fuck off and go somewhere else.

Then I got this compliment in a WSG.  That warrior basically stood there and watched those 3 horde beat on me for like 5 minutes, while he was busy killing the DKs GHOUL.  Kid you not.

610ocyla

We won all 3 or… 4 we did, I lost track.

While I was waiting on this group someone named Dirtypally asked me to do 3’s with a double ret team.  I was afk for a few minutes when I got that message and I got “I guess that’s a no”.

I really hate that, don’t be a brat?  I was afk and couldn’t respond right away.

Then while I was doing the bgs I got “I know you are bging but could we do 3’s I gotta go to bed early”.  Again, brat much?  This is on par with “I don’t have all day”.  In other words “I need a favor from you, and drop whatever you are doing and be quick about it”.  Yeah, no.  I can only imagine the raging in 3’s if we lost from someone with this much “patience”.

Queueing as dps stinks

I really, really hate solo queuing with my mage. Got in WoE and the tank goes offline straight away. The healer then leaves. We get a new tank/healer who both immediately leave. So frustrating. I then do 40% of the dps in that group.

Before we got to the first boss, the 3rd healer left and another came in.

Subzero

Finally removed that Subzero pally from my real id today. I never got a message anything other than “come heal this for me” with varying levels of impatience including phrases like “plz I dont have all day”. Today it was “hey are you running dungeons can I come and dps I need BOA gear for a new char I wanna make”. I said I was already running one to play with a new spec. He asked which spec and I said “atonement” . On the healing forums saying “atonement” is understood to mean disc with evangelism/archangel/atonement.

He informed me that priests have “disc, holy and shadow” and not a 4th spec called that. I said I know that. I was still in the same dungeon I was when he originally asked for a run, so he said I “was funny” and asked for a run again. I was like holy shit dude I am STILL in a dungeon. He was like “well ok after than plz I need JP”. So I removed him. I don’t play that.

I’ve been running the original cata dungeons for the stories it brings but gosh, it’s been so bad in some cases I just leave. I had a SFK where the dps was so slow I was in my add on menus tweaking stuff for like 5 mins at a time before anything got killed. I left that halfway through. Even me doing like 10k dps wasn’t making it go any faster. I had a really terrible BRC which I wrote about here which I left after Karsh. I wonder how discouraged people get when they don’t get a heroic geared healer carrying them along.

Anyway let’s see, Karma asked me to run 2’s with him but I said first he would have to give me a really hard time in a duel before I did that. He asked why and I said if you can’t put pressure on me I don’t want to do arena. I don’t need to and I don’t want to if it’s gonna be a pain.
