Most dimwitted thing said to you?Follow

When asked if I could tank an instance, the druid (which is why I was confused he didn't know this, granted he didn't tank...) asked if I were crit immune. I told him I was about 10 def rating off, but my 42 resilience made up for it and some, the druid told me resilience doesn't count towards crit immunity, so I read him exactly what resilience says it does, and he didn't respond.

Same thing, but this time some rogue told me that not only did resilience not matter, but I couldn't tank any heroics (though I've done it loads of times with 18.1K armor, 13.5K health, 30.2% dodge, and crit immune ofc not the best, but good enough) because of the missing 10 def rating. He kept telling the group there's no way I could do it because I'd get crit all the time. Obviously, he doesn't understand that when ppl talk of crit immune, they are talking about bosses since normal mobs<lvl73 have a lower crit chance (not by much, but still, there's a difference).

Though it ended up making me even more mad and made me laugh when we tried it, and didn't make it past the first pull. It was heroic SP, we had 1 CC (the rogue) then the rest was melee dps, and a pally healer. So there's no real chance of doing it anyway. But on with the story, the enhance shammy pulls the group of three, so no sap from the rogue, then I have to try to tank all three. I lasted about 3 secs, in those 3 secs the pally healer and somehow managed to zone out of SP while they rest of us died. So in other words, he ran without even trying to heal me. When we've all come back, the shammy looks at my gear, and since I had all blues but 4 (2 greens, 2 epics) he says that I can't tank because my gear sucks.

I hate it when ppl don't understand druid tanking gear, for example the belt I was wearing was Manimal's cinch (sorry, to lazy to link), which is green, but awesome (picked up Tree-mender's belt later on in a Heroic ramps that I tanked...)

Anyway, there are a couple of long stories for you all :)

Raid Leader: Quick Lukoi! Innervate the pally!

I was in LFG for deadmines on one of my alts, saying "LFM VC, need X and Y" and I get someone whispering me saying "What's VC?" I told him it was a level 20ish instance called deadmines (he was 50+) and he goes "Noob that's DM." "Uh...DM is dire maul, VC is VanCleef, the boss of deadmines so people call deadmines VC." "They dont name dungeons after bosses deadmines is DM idiot..."

Then me and my friend on two tauren druids we're levelling together had just hit the 20's and we think it'd be fun to stealth run through deadmines a few times. So I set up a macro "LF3M for stealth run through VC, rogues and 20+ druids only, PST for more info". I kept getting level 60-70 rogues and druids whispering me asking what VC was and saying they wanted to go. (On most of my toons I dont like getting ran through instances, particularly if I have a static partner).

Sorry For all the good druids here, but this was said to me by a druid. We were running WC. Party is as such: Me (18 Rogue), 19 Druid, 20 Druid (1), 17 Hunter. I had no complaints about Druid2. But Druid1 was an idiot.

Druid1:"Dude, what are you diong? Your Getting too much aggro. I cant keep up on healing you."
Me:"Im getting aggro to keep the mobs off you that you keep pulling. if you let me sap and the hunter pull, we wont have as hard a time."
Me:"Why dont you tank and the other druid heal?"
Druid1:"Im healing"
Druid2:"I dont know how to tank well"
Me:"Ok then. Im a rogue not a warrior or Paladin. I wear leather. Im tanking WC at 18. Im keeping aggro off of you."

And before I get a flame about lvl 20 newbies, This was not the guys first toon. In fact he had a 70 Lock and 57 Mage.

TBH - deadmines have always been called DM, and dire maul for - yes, dire maul or DM + direction.

The VC thing is a new abbrevation (spelling?) for deadmines, and thus some high levels don't know it. The reason for not shortening deadmines with VC is (I guess) to avoid mixing it up with WC (wailing caverns).

Krq, I've only ever heard it called VC and I've been playing for a year and a half. So while it may be relatively "new" most people know about deadmines, and any alts/lowb friends/etc. should have heard the abbreviation. While DM may also be a correct abbreviation (although I consider it not), calling me an idiot for calling it VC is dimwitted.

I've always heard of Deadmines as "VC" -- and it has always annoyed me. People shouldn't be too confused, though... if someone says "LFG - DM" then it's probably Deadmines. No one is looking for Dire Maul anymore (or if they are for their mount quest thing, then they'll probably say "for my mount quest thing")

My most dimwitted thing said to me was on my mage.
Someone asked for a portal to Darnassus, so I sent him a tell: "1g."
He invited me into his group... there's a full group of 5 of us now. I go to stand next to him and wait patiently for him to tip me. A moment or two goes by. I group-ask "Ready?" and the guy says "yeah, just a sec, I need to find that mage." I said "who?" and he said "The mage who said they'd portal me, I don't know where they went!"

I made the portal for free.

I'm not even sure what he was thinking... like, if he meant ANOTHER mage, where would he have put them in the group for the portal?

In his defense, dude you LOOK like a lvl 70 tank!! :D

I've had people ask my Tauren Druid in animal form that too :P
"can you pick lock a box please?"
I'm like "eh not really".

if they didnt know that deadmines is called VC to avoid confusion with dire maul then i recon we know who the ideot/noob is...

ah dam it! this isnt the most dimwitted thing iv ever had said to me... it wasnt even said to me... and its nothing to do with wow... but i am realy realy annoyed right now...
now... just out of curiousity iv got 2 questions...
