Gorregutzz-Wildhammer

The problem: With only Anub to kill in my random heroic, a dps left. The tank, Gorregutzz, kept queuing us to find a replacement. "Screw that," I thought, and ToT pulled. Of course he had to be difficult and kept canceling it, leading to my demise. It took some time, but they downed Anub. Afterward, Gor said, "Waiting five minutes for another dps would have been more beneficial."

Fail.

When it takes under five minutes to kill a boss, is it really beneficial to wait five minutes for a dps? No.

The solution: Die.

Criton and Yourlove - Kalecgos

The problem: Criton seemed to be in love with Yourlove, so they spent ten minutes jibberjabbering with each other in party chat instead of talking to Chromie and porting in to CoS. I was able to keep myself and the two other dps alive through three waves, but the fourth wave got us. Of course it took another five minutes for Yourlove to res me. By that time, I had started writing this blog post. Screenshots:

I seriously believe that these two players were mentally retarded.

The solution: Double assisted suicide.

I don't like the upcoming talent trees.

With the homogenization of talent trees, there is less room for "hybrid" specs. While this may benefit the WoW community as a whole (no 20/20/31 trash) it really hurts those of us who use our second spec to fulfill a niche purpose. On my death knight, my main spec is Unholy DPS. I will follow the optimal cookie cutter build when 4.0 hits. My off spec, however, aims to provide high damage while tanking. Survivability may suffer, but I do not need much survivability as all I tank are heroics, VoA, and old world raids. I had a go at creating a 4.0 spec to meet these requirements, but sadly the differentiation between a survivability tank spec and a dps tank spec hardly differed at all.

I believe that the changes to talent trees are yet another instance of the dumbing down of this game. I rest the blame on Ghostcrawler: lame.

Beeffodinner - Twisting Nether

The problem: Tonight, I decided to do play Drsaget on Azshara for a while. I joined my friend for heroics (he was tanking on his death knight) for some good, clean fun. Being on my rogue is quite different than being on my dk, I'm much more vulnerable and cannot heal myself. Anyways, we got into UP and did our thing, when after the first boss and a few trash pulls the druid healer, Beeffodinner, said, "Cool down rogue, you're taking a ton of damage." I hadn't taken much more damage than I usually do, but all I said was, "I've taken 91k this run." Apparently that was 91k too much for him. I then said, "Good thing the dungeon finder provides a healer with each group." He must have taken offense to this as his reply was, "ARE U THREATENING ME? DPS ARE A DIME A DOZEN" No, I wasn't threatening you. Being the dick that I am, when the second boss came, I used tricks of the trade on Beeffodinner, which killed him. That was satisfying.

The rest of the run I received no heals and only died once. I met my demise on the second to last trash pull of the dungeon. My friend and the shaman in the group told me that the druid had tried to get me kicked out. This brought me to initiate my own kick of Beef, which passed, ridding us of a useless tree.

The solution: If you are the healer in the group, heal.

DPS may be a dime a dozen, but so are healers in random dungeons.

Good evening.

Good evening Sir, my name is Steve. I come from a rough area. I used to be addicted to crack but now I am off it and trying to stay clean. That is why I am selling magazine subscriptions.

It has been a while since I got stuck with an idiot.

Perhaps this is because all the little kiddies are in school.

The Exalted probably isn't going to happen.

I believe I wrote in a previous post that my goal was to get Drstamos the title "the Exalted." This is unrealistic. Being in college, I only have so much free time. Grinding rep, though easy, is a major time sink. I'd rather spend my precious time doing something fun. However, the title "Ambassador" is well within reach.

Yeah.
