I don't see many dumb druids, either, but saw my first really bad one last night and found it downright embarassing. So I need a quick vent, and apologize for the wall 'o text. : )
Me, a pally, and a warrior were about to attack Dimensius the All Devouring in Netherstorm, when a druid walked by so I invited him to join us cuz I thought we were "light" especially on DPS.
The quest is to attack the badass elite void-walker dude with the help of a badass elite ethereal named Saeed and his posse. Saeed tanks him and your job is to keep Saeed alive while killing the bad guy. Dimensius hits hard as hell--I doubt he's untankable but clearly hard and with Saeed around there's zero reason to try.
So despite having a prot warrior and two feral druids, we were all sposta DPS while the Pally healed Saeed and us as necessary, due to a nasty little AOE the mob has. I checked fellow drood's feral gear and I outgeared him so I said I'll be main DPS, you DPS when you can and help the pally keep Saeed alive.
We engage. The Druidiot pops into bear form, and even taunts the badguy away from Saeed! He gets knocked down to 15% health in just a few quick shots. Served his *** right. I tell him to go cat and attack instead of tanking, but he doesn't listen and says he's a better tank than DPS. Nice. The pally's burning (wasting!) valuable mana trying to keep him alive and he ain't doing squat for DPS in bear, so when he dies I don't waste my cooldown battlerezzin his dumb ***.
We woulda wiped for sure except for a pally and priest that wandered by and dove in to help...they didn't bring a boatload of DPS to the table, but some, and Saeed, the warrior and I coulda gone all
day with all that healing. So the group was me, a prot warrior, a non-shadow priest, and two pallies...took a while and I ended up doing like 65% our party's damage.
Afterward I let the pally rez the druidiot before we parted ways. Buh-bye good riddance.
