Mages are Douchbags

Apr15

I don’t know why mages are typically the douchiest players I’ve ever met. Ran a new dungeon with Essaac (druid, I’m not talking about him it was a pug mage) today who just turned 85 and is naturally doing shitty dps and needing on all the healing gear besides that. I don’t mind that but I personally would kick up a fit if I also needed something a damn druid was needing on when they aren’t in the spec they need it on. For the record even if no one else in the group needs what I want I’ll say “ok if I need for OS?” or something. But, that’s me. Since I was healing and didn’t need gear, it wasn’t an issue.

Anyway we got End Time and everyone was doing less than 15k dps so all the fights took twice as long as normal. That wasn’t a real big deal until we were on the last boss and I recommended hitting the hourglass every 20% because the dps is “pretty low”. The mage apparently took offense and started with the usual mage insults like “I could outheal you on my pally” and for his poor dps “I’m pvp fire spec” and something about how I don’t know how to pvp, so I mentioned my priest and he kept going on about how I was so “fail bad” and this and that. I would have let him die if he was taking any damage. I had to put out 20k hps because that fight went so long and people were undergeared or whatever. He mentioned his paladin so I told him every time I dispelled wings or bubble I’d “think of him” but he said that made no sense because he is of course, a moron (hint, you said you had a pally, stupid) Oh well.

You sure? Ok then

Ran the first 4 bosses of LFR the other day, and watched Cunning of the Cruel go to a BALANCE druid who was doing FERAL dps, at around 6k dps. They then went to actually using balance during the second boss, and brought their DPS up to around 10k.

On the third boss I won a new ring, which was technically a side grade (which I ended up equipping) and that druid asked if they could have it because my gear was better. Stifling an urge to tell them to fuck off I said sure I’ll trade for that trinket. Needless to say they declined. Someone from Ragnaros, that druid was. Totally sick of seeing that server, and Goldrinn in my queues.

When Smite Healing was Still a Choice

Apr14

Giving up my super fun and awesome smite healing spec for a “serious” heal one now that both of my teams are getting into heroics. I am going to try the mastery/spirit build too rather than haste/crit.

I went from around 2000 haste to 1549 which took my big/slow heal from well, 2.2 base cast to… 2.2. With borrowed time it went from 1.9 to 2.0. That’s… not bad. My shields went from around 30k absorbs to 32.5. That was 12.12 mastery to 17.7. So, we’ll see how that goes. I will sorely miss smite healing in 5 mans though.

For kicks I proc’d foul gift mastery and threw down Moonwell chalice and my shields went to 82.7k. That was about 1700 mastery to 4594

You Belong in Jail

Apr13

We tried heroic Morchock on my shaman last night, and got it after maybe 5 attempts. I think I could have solo healed my side if I knew Scuba was gonna drop early on several attempts and I was prepared to solo heal it.

I don’t think I like the new pally much, they seem to heal just fine but told us his name was an abbreviation for “Juicy Pussy” which kind of quieted us all down, and talked about his friend stealing all kinds of junk. And he sounds like he belongs in jail. I don’t know what it is, but certain people have a voice that sounds like the belong in the clink.

We tried heroic skitties but didn’t get it down, when despite us giving healing assignments and me saying to avoid aoes like the plague on purple, the pally holy radianced everyone to Explosionville. We did 4/8 that night and I got Windward Heart on Hagara. I wish I had these trinkets on my priest. I also feel bad now for not giving that druid, who was begging me for the LFR Seal of Seven Signs that trinket. It was an upgrade for me, at the time though.

Get over here

Was asked to heal spine/DW tonight and I foolishly accepted. I got testy when the warrior was offline doing quests on another character while “waiting for it to fill”. I’ve mentioned this before but that fucking pisses me off, I mean I have to stand around and make the group look full you should have to also.

The first pull of spine went badly, I kept getting hit by the bloods, people died right away and we wiped. The earlier warrior ninja logged. We wiped, and wiped, and wiped. At around the 5th or so wipe I said I’ve had enough I’m not doing this any more and logged my paladin. I don’t know what the problem was exactly but we wiped all last night on that stupid fight and wiped an hour tonight. Done with it.
