Yeah… so last night (and most Tuesday nights) my guild runs MC. We’re a fairly good bunch, and we can usually get up to domo in 1 run, pushing the pace even though we’ve only been doing MC for like 2 months. To get this fast, we really push the pace on things, chain pulling whenever possible.
Last night, I’m in group 3, with one of the off tanks, as well as a couple of other peoples. During a long set of chain pulls… one of the mages go down aoeing imps. Fairly common thing to happen… they pull aggro of 10 imps all at once, get hit for ton, and go down. Not much you can do about that… So I res the guy, throw a renew on him, then have to immediately deal with the next string of chain pulls.
So the guy starts screaming for fort… I admit, I missed it, considering he’s using party chat instead of raid chat… and I’m trying to keep everyone alive…. but as soon as we get out of this chain pull madness… I give him a fort.
Of course… he decides to be an asshole.
I blacked out his name, because I’m not the kind of person to do that… but it just pissed me off. Of course he didn’t get moved from my group at all… Let’s just say that he’s a mage. A fucking mage that has to deal with just not getting his own dumb ass killed from nuking too much… who simply has to assist the Main assist and hit his fucking 2 buttons
and maybe sit and drink once in a while.
I’m sure I’m under-valuing the mage game and I really am not saying playing a mage is easy or anything. I don’t mean to offend the mage community. In fact most of them are very fun to talk to and highly skilled players. I’m just frustrated at one of their members giving me shit for keeping 40 damn people up and running. I don’t need this shit from anyone.
Some people say whispercast is cheating and I should learn to play my class… those people need to STFU and get with the program. Watching 40 bars for 6 hours and being on constant alert for that time to watch out for problems is really a lot of work. Anything to ease the additional burden of making sure every single person is buffed up on top of that helps make the raid go faster and relieves some of the stress off the healers. Constant calls over vent of fort me slow things down… “fort me!” me:”whose me?”
On a positive note =), I did get to talk to a couple of new people in my raid, and another mage that knew WTF was going on and we had a nice chat about talents and stuff… it was fun =). He also happens to know one of the other priests irl that has been throwing off a lot of the other healers by crosshealing like a mofo. He thinks that he’s reasonable enough to talk to about. I mean I don’t want to be an asshole that tells other people they suck and they need to play my way… Gotta find a good way to broach the subject.
