Damn you DIlbertFollow

I had my first experience healing as a pally last night with my 48 tankadin.

Got a hodgepodge ZF run going last night with myself, couple guildies, and a couple random add on's, including a 60 rogue, 45 rogue, 52 mage, and 46 lock. Being I was the only healer in the group, it was on me to play the role, even though I wasn't geared for it.

Wow, what boredom. Holy light and flash of light are on my 8 and 9 keys respectively. This is how it went.

9...9...9...9..8..9..9..9..8..9 wheeeee

There I am, the most highly armored person in the group in full plate gear..doing nothing but heals.

After killing the basilisk boss, the 60 rogue had to leave and we found a resto shammy to take his place. FINALLY! I was able to go back into full tank mode and we *spanked* the rest of the instance.

Yeah...definately not going holy.

Tankadins FTW!!

Um, ZF is normally a lvl 40-50 instance. With two guys in your PUG beyond that range, including your tank, um, why, did they need you at all? Even the bosses are at best lvl 47 elites. Did the rogue even get hit in combat?

I think perhaps you should run some level-appropriate instances and then form opinions about how people should play their classes/specs.

Ease up there killer, like I said before it was a thrown together pickup group to grab some gear and help folks clean up quests. And yes, healing was still needed as two of the party members did end up dying on the guy who summons all the zombies, and healing was needed throughout.

We do still run "appropriate level instances", but sometimes it's fun to run through for gear/old quests for guildies in their low 40's.

And where did I make comments about people not playing their class right? The only thing I said was that I did not enjoy my experience as a healadin, and was happy to go back to tank role.

Time to switch to decaf, methinks?

Armory has been crapping out on me for nearly the last week, I'll just come there and inspect you manually

I beg to differ. Personally, PvP healing is my focus. That is rough from time to time. It would be great if I didn't have to outrun ganking rogues and counterspelling mages.

Now, instance healing is crazy easy. I hate that.

Im an idiot, I linked myself wearing Winter Veil gear. Fixed.

at least he switched to something usefull. . . i mean, i went Ret when i needed a break from tanking. . . and im still Ret. . .

That necklace dropped, and I was like "oooh! need." And the Warlock needed on it and won. I was so annoyed that a clothie got my +stamina.

And just today in Sunken Temple, Nightfall Drape dropped and the Warlock needed on it. And won! I didn't even get the Crest for consolation...what is with that? Do locks need stamina that bad?

Yea, Locks focus a lot more on Stamina then other caster classes because of Life Tap, Health Funnel, and a lesser extent Hellfire which all drain some health from the Lock. The necklace you mentioned is great for a Lock, but why the hell the Lock rolled on Nightfall Drape is beyond me. They should have rolled on it ONLY if a melee class didn't want it (Locks don't need Dodge ...).

Your first-mate? I saw him in an alley with Dilbert, looked funny to me. Looks like he owes you more rum.

SS or it didn't happen :P Show me that SS, and I'll show you a pink flying elephant with purple and green polkadots, a unicorn horn, and an ear of corn growing (not sticking, GROWING) out his ***.
