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.

Reins of the Blue Protodrake

Ran UP with Subzero even though he wanted to run like other dungeons after it. He kept telling me to not use freeze because he was tanking (and taking a beating doing it) and I said 1) I can solo this place and 2) my frost freezies give me more damage besides the crowd control.

At the last boss the sword he wanted dropped, and it looked quite good so I didn’t roll right away. I let him sweat a bit and repeatedly ask “plz I need it plez can I have it plz” before I passed. Kids.

I solo’d UP the next day and got Reins of the Blue Protodrake. :) yay! I told him about it and just got a “…. ” lol.

Inconsiderate Idiot Type

So, I think my new pally healer friend is either an inconsiderate idiot type or just that age that screams “inconsiderate idiot type”. I logged on and he invited me to a group, I said I want to queue for a dungeon (since I’m working on Wildhammer rep) and we just sat there in group for a while doing nothing. I left party and said look I’m gonna queue and queued up. He invited me again and said he was just getting some noggenfogger elixir or whatever it’s called.

This is stuff I hate like a cat hates baths. I do not want to WAIT to queue. I want to queue RIGHT NOW, especially as dps. Sure having a healer with you is instant queue but if I have to wait 5-10 minutes for a healer to be ready, I may as well have sat in a queue during that time. Maybe that’s bratty of me but I really do hate waiting on other people for things I can do myself.

At any rate we queued up and he said he wanted to leave at the first boss Arcurion in Hour of Twilight because he hates this dungeon. I said it made no difference to me, but it was pretty easy to heal.

We got the first boss down and the tank left, then he was like “I gtg” and left, leaving me with another 8 minute queue wait. If there is much more “Soulprince” behavior I’m out of this real id thing. I’m also being called a “bro or gal” even though my name is clearly female in real id /shrug. lol

Subzero, sometimes I make poor decisions

End Time Baine: Tank stays in the lava and dies at about 15% left to go, I inviz to drop aggro, the other dps die, pop mirrors, hero, just me and that healer, combustion, I die, Baine dies. Pally is the only one alive. We sort of chuckle over that, since at the start of that area, I died because I didn’t hit inviz in time, and the tank told me that’s “not how inviz works”. Um ok? It drops aggro, duh.

Next up, Jaina. Pally’s name is Subzeropanda from Garona btw. We died to trash there, oh gosh like 3x. The tank pulled too much or something I forget, then another time pulled when the healer wasn’t there, then pulled when the healer was just rezzed and wasn’t prepared. I must have used ice block/mirrors/inviz at lesat 5x. Anyway Jaina, seemed like an excessive amount of flare cores were coming out, every 5 seconds it seemed. Tank ends up kiting her into the trash we should have but didn’t clear, most of the party dies, the pally and I survive. I laugh and say we should exchange phone numbers or something, like victims of a terrible accident.

Murazond went ok. We then ran WoE together and I ended up with a real id friend.

I am trying to bang out Wildhammer rep since my ret pally needs the head enchant, and she was the furthest along in that area. I also got in an in progress WoE where I phased into a dead party at the first boss and died right away. Why oh WHY can you phase in like that? Then I died again when one of the demon mobs didn’t despawn and was right on the boss, and the tank (mostly Brazil group) just ran right into it killing us all again. I told the priest on my healers if I see more than 2 Brazil servers I’ll just auto desert. They agreed, but the tank ended up getting kicked, the other 2 left, we requeued and got it down. I said this once before but gosh it seems my dps groups are often much harder than my heals. This may be because all a dps can really do wrong is go afk, do bad dps, or maybe pull too much, but that isn’t too common because that just gets YOU killed. A bad tank, bad healer.. that goes bad for all.

Voranaku

Finished my last few Netherwing dailies today and with 1200 rep to go, I decided to just farm some eggs.  Bothered a bit by a priest in my guild who kept asking for help with quests, I got On Wings of Nether after turning in 4 eggs I scrounged up, got to see the little RPing event

270elleria

and picked the violet protodrake, Voranaku, as my mount.

I also went back and bought every single Netherwing I could.  The quests were good but gosh I was tired of them.  I’m seeing Netherwing eggs on everyones heads now.
