In a group with 4 paladins.
Everything was fine until it wasn't. LOL
We did a few scenarios....then did a few heroics.
They were all okay until the end, literally the last part.
Chris got cocky like most tanks do, then PULLED the entire area and LoS'd himself. It was just too much >___<.
Frank was on mumble with me and i was like OMGOMGOMG SAVE THEM FRANK. He's like, "nope. you can do it. i'm ret. i can't. Oh wait, ok fine...just until it gets better."
Then he got PO'ed at Chris. I haven't heard him that grumpy in a while. It was nice actually because i was pretty pissed myself. I'll get over it lol, but GRUFF!!! He said, "Well of course you'd have a fucking hard time. He pulled the entire area and went LoS. That's his fault." I could already hear what he was thinking. "He should've been more considerate considering it's one of your first heroics." He gave me the, "Mhmm." thus, I also responded, "Mhmm."
Then Frank was forced to heal as ret...and wasn't happy about that. >___< NOT TO MENTION, they were doing like around 60-70k dps, so it just took a bit longer.
It all worked out, but the last part of the last instance was hairy. Too much LoSing, aoe mobs, and not enough aoe dps. Sad kitten was sad. Conin poked a bit of fun at me, but deep down was being encouraging also.
"Lets get you a better weapon! That one is way old. Is it a lvl 80 something quest reward?"
"YEAH....maybe later! :P"
"Lets queue for one more. I'll heal this time. Come dps on your lock. It'll make you feel better."
"Awww thanks! :D"
I did the same heroic afterwards as a warlock with Conin healing this time. Chris pulled smarter this time lol and I was doing 200k+ easily (lots of it I could aoe). Lets just say, it went a lot smoother. Not to mention, I would protect my paladin, lol.
Not to be a cocky warlock or anything, but Jesus, we're handy. I can heal myself, do a bunch of damage, and protect my healers when they're getting shit on. Shadowfury is a wonderful tool. Then I can dump aggro when it gets too high. I can sustain hits just enough for my healer or tank to get their shit together. SO versatile, I love it.
My paladin wasn't that godawful considering how low on the ilvl she is. Frank was pleasantly happy although the hairy parts made him a bit grumps - but not at me. :)
"You're fine, I'm going ret."
"PLEASE NO."
So in conclusion, I will not be healing this expansion. LOL THANK FUCKING GOD. It's just too close to WoD and they're changing this fucking class again. It's not motivating me to heal and tbh, I'm too scared. Overconfident tanks & bad or oblivious dps (that stand in shit) literally make my heart beat funny - and not in the good way. I seriously feel like I'm either going to strangle someone or need to drink, heavily.
Don't feel bad. I love dpsing. I used to love healing too. The desire may come back someday - just not now. I'd rather leave it to my pro bffs, healer & tank to do their jobs for me so I can do mine. :)
