I was going to post this on [livejournal.com profile] dear_gnome, but then I realized I'd rather post it here.


Dear paladin Tank from SM - Cathedral:
Thanks for chain pulling, and pulling the mobs back to the group, and ignoring a mob that had AoE'd us earlier in the dungeon. I really appreciated being in combat for the entire dungeon. Level 39 shadow priests have tons of mana regen talents, and I can drink as many mana potions per combat session as I want, so it's not like I had to resort to wanding for half the dungeon or anyth-- oh wait.


Dear mage from same:
We finally got out of combat and I actually had regened up to 25% of my mana pool. 25% of my mana pool is not enough to get through a boss fight. So when I said "Mana before boss" and the tank said "OK," WHY DID YOU PULL THE BOSS WERE YOU DROPPED ON YOUR HEAD AS CHILD OMG WHYYYYYYYY.


Dear warrior tank from a different SM - Cathedral:
When the healer says "AFK after this," I think she probably meant after the current combat session, not after... I don't know, something else? Boy, I sure do love healing dungeons as shadow because tanks don't realize they don't have a real healer.


Dear warrior tank from Mauradon:
THE HEALER DROPPED GROUP WHY ARE YOU STILL PULLING. OK I GUESS I WILL HEAL TRASH UNTIL WE GET A NEW HEALER WAIT WE DIDN'T REQUEUE WHY ARE YOU PULLING A BOSS OMG OMG OMG WHAT. WAAAAT.


Dear warrior tank from Dire Maul:
I've been running a lot of 85 dungeons on my main lately, which means I've run into a lot of Death Knight tanks, who have all been perfectly capable. Which I guess is why it took me a HALF HOUR to realize the reason you couldn't hold aggro for beans was THAT YOU WERE ARMS.


Dear all worgen druid Dire Maul group:
*__________* Can I server transfer and come join your guild? If you won't have my spriest because you need all druids, I can bring my nelf druid instead. I'm going resto on her, so your moonkins can be moonkins instead of fighting over who has to be resto this time.


Dear healers:
HOW ARE YOU ALL SO DAMN PRO?


Dear Blizzard:
I can't get better water for 5 more levels and my mana pool is already twice the amount of mana the water will regen if I actually get to drink for the whole 30 seconds. That seems... poorly thought out.



By which I mean Yay, Warrior is 70 and Yay priest is 40!!!

Guess I'll respond in order...

A lot of pali tanks at lower levels are freekin unstopable at the moment, specially if you just give 'em a heal here and there to prop them up at the start. That WILL change with the hopo change for heals.

Mages do all sortsa stuff. Specially if they get away with it and KEEP getting away with it. Sadly, spriests have no way to vanish/fake death/invis. Just scoot back further so hopefully you don't get a global combat and can drink up even if they pull. If it's a instance wide combat (and that happens some times on trash oddly) then you have to get in there. Least the doors don't shut there.

If you want to you can always state at the start: if for any reason there is an issue of overpull, I'll help out. If the healer goes AFK and people run off, I will forget how my healing buttons work. Generally gets a laugh but sadly a lot of folks IF you have a heal will EXPECT you to use it.

Make a drood there! Cheaper than paying 25 bucks for a toon you could just as easily level there. :)

Healers are pro because you're lucky? Ooooor, the instances aren't as hard and the tanks can't pull enough before their AoE alone to hold agro kills things? Dunno. OOH! And heirloom gear too!

Blizz upped stats. Heirloom gears did too. They never made better waters. :/
