Hi,
I am levelling a shadow priest (currently 30) and have been doing instances as I level. I don't mind healing, but I am more interested in doing dps, both now and at 70.
My problem comes when I try to find a group that will let me dps. I would much rather get through an instance healing than spend forever trying to find a group that will let me dps, but it feels as if no one will entertain the notion of a shadow priest at my level doing dps.
Even when I find an overpowered group with another healer I still get given the heal/get kicked ultimatum.
I am having a hard time understanding why this is happening - I solo happily with very little downtime and don't feel as if I am lacking in damage output.
It seems as if I am either overestimating the dps that I put out or the players that I encounter don't understand the damage that I can do.
I don't really want to solo to 70 as I need more practice in groups - my druid and 'lock were so easy to solo that I was suckered into doing so at the expense of grouping experience. However, I don't want to heal all the way to 70 at the expense of knowing how to shadow dps in groups.
Could anyone tell me if I am talking nonsense and that I should be healing or if I am just not finding groups with well informed players?
Thank you
