Things you don’t want to hear from pugs

Jan28

There’s a thread on the WoW healer forums about things you don’t want to hear from pugs, which ended up turning into a horror story swap. I have to say as dps, I think I have more bad stories since I have the possibility of a bad healer AND tank, rather than as a healer when I’m filling one important part.

Did an End Time today where the healer said from the start he didn’t know the fights, so I typed how to do them during the trash. The tank pulled every boss without hesitation, including trash when the healer hadn’t phased in yet. Pulled trash after a boss fight before anyone had a chance to drink, and pulled Murazond when half of us were still behind the hourglass, which meant every time I hit it, I had to run all the way back. He also linked recount mid-fight, screamed about time warp when I already hit it, and screamed about clicking before it was even time. Oh and he needed on everything he could. Needless to say I gave him a piece of my mind.

Sharing Gear in LFR

Did the last half of LFR DS today, and unbelievably a paladin from Sargeras named Elifer (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/sargeras/Elifer/advanced) won the helm token and gave it to me, then won Maw of the Dragonlord, and ALSO gave it to me! I could not believe it, tbh, and provided worshipful thanks, still hardly believing my luck.

Vengeful Druid

Jan25

Today we did normal Firelands since we still do not have a Rag kill. I like these fights!  We were trying out a new healer to have them join the guild, a pally named Virstena.  I don’t know much about pally healing but their heals were on par with what I was putting out.

Our druid though, gosh, I just don’t know.  My druid healer is only 44 at this point so I’m not going to pretend to be any kind of expert, but across the board their heals were on the low side and typically came in as the lowest on each fight.  After Rhyolith we lost a dps, so the druid said we can 9 man Alysrazor. I said “9 man with 3 healers, lol” and they asked why that was funny.  Beeeeeecause you don’t need 3 heals, so you are basically running with 4 dps? Besides that obvious bit of information you mean?

I didn’t actually say anything sarcastic like that I just said it’s easily 2 healable so being short 2 dps seemed kind of harsh.  That fight I did not see them do hardly any healing, my recount only showed about 2k hps but I thought maybe I was just too far out of range.

Then on Majordomo, apparently they chose to just do nothing that fight.  They did not dps, they did not heal.  First I thought my recount was broken because I saw no heals going off, then I focus targeted them and saw their mana bar not only not moving at all, but no spells at all were going off.  They were stacking and spreading so they weren’t locked, or dc’d. I sent them a message about their lack of doing anything and just got an “oh”. I went completely oom by the end of this fight with no available cd’s to do anything about it.

They had 0 dps and 0 hps until the very very end of the fight. Like when the boss died. After that fight they dropped raid and logged out.  I don’t get it, maybe it was some angry version of making me prove it could be two healed?   But I meant with a full 10 man raid, with everyone actively participating, not 9 people with 1 doing nothing. No one expects to 2 heal an 8 person raid.  We did get him down but what the fuck.

I won these shoulders for transmog though, they are AWESOME for my masterwork set.

Just the Two of Us

Then when Acks was not available to do 2’s when he originally said he would, I picked up Alexmx and OMFG FINALLY “JUST THE TWO OF US 1550”

It’s rather depressing it took me this long but partners were so random and repeatedly just stopped logging in, so yeah omg I’m thrilled!

When Bad Players gquit

Ran LFR with the priest, thought I won nothing but it turns out I won Bracers of the Banished, and didn’t even notice! Derp! After that ran dungeons to cap with Lila, Alexmx, and Rob, who we use to run arena with way way back in the day.

Checked the guild calendar on the shaman and for whatever reason Bellaluna left and joined another guild, and well as Juble. Someone that accepts raids and never shows, isn’t exactly a loss, but it’s a little bothersome after basically helping them to play better.
