I was going to walk… but being a relatively patient guy, and knowing I was under-leveled, I was giving the guy the benefit of the doubt…

While I was running back from the GY on the last wipe of the night, I was whispering the tank to say:

“I have asked you don’t pull when I have no mana, I have asked you to pull back. The next time you pull while those two conditions are met, I will let you die, call a wipe and head for the door. Next time I will just hearth”

But as I was typing the tank announced he was leaving… followed by a string of comments by the other party members wondering why he didn’t “listen”

For what it was worth, the hunter and lock pets were trying to save my butt. Unfortunately there was only so much the AI could do against the AI.

In reality all they were doing was delaying the inevitable… the wipe was on the board as soon as the tank ran to the mobs.

I have had a good success rate lately… but yeah there’s always one…

Occulus… not just a fail pug, but a fail instance…

Yep lots of words…

Probably doesn’t help that I am standing in the middle of the room in my sissy robes.. can’t wait till outland where I can pick up some nice mail cocktail dresses.

I have always assumed that I was coming last for the heals, particularly because by the time the heal was wound up I would already be dead… I just learned not to pull aggro and say out of the green goo.

I also had the philosophy that I would take a bullet for my healer.

When that was a Pally healer, we had it worked out, he would stun it, I would get its attention and kite it back to the tank with a frost nova to keep it there.

Pally kept healing, and occasionally had time to top me off as well.

Yep.. run to the tank.. not so hard to understand…
I find myself doing that now, even though I know that’s delaying the next heal by a few seconds… at least when I start to cast I wont be interrupted.

I am wondering whether the WoLK AoE has spoiled people… it’s a rare day you have to pull back these days, just round the all up and take them down.

The tank in question didn’t do one ranged pull, no LoS.. just body pull… the room.

Moar anger pl0x.

My priest definitely has a sense of entitlement. Do your job or I will find someone else that will. I do not have to hold your hand and cover for your shortcomings. Get it together or I leave, simple as that.

I’ve even stopped healing stupid DPS during fights. I’m trying to get them “young” in levels so we can weed out undesirable behavior by the time they are at end game. Healers that compensate for stupid shit are enabling poor performance later on.

there is a reason rule #1 on my hunter is ‘keep an eye on the healer’. if i take care of them, they take care of me. ‘s why i now have a couple good healer friends.

Poor gnomer. Failpugs are a fact of life. They just exist. Like Oculus.

Word.

Well lots of words. And I agree with all of them.
