Brass… sorry, I’m sure you said something really cool…. but when I read your first few words…

All I could hear in my head was the goddess Alyson Hannigan saying, “This one time, at band camp….”

Excuse me while I go scrub my brainage

One time on HHoL we had a druid healer who was in such a crazy rush he was going cat form and dashing to pull adds as well as DPSing. Which might be well and all if he were also keeping us alive at the same time. Which he wasn’t. His hurry lead to three stupid near wipes. So we get to the last boss and he starts spamming me for bloodlust. Which, due to his annoying/killing us hurry, I was jackass enough not to punch. Especially when he began spam yelling it, spam whispering it, and passed me lead before more yelling and whispering for it. Guy, I’m certain an extra 15 seconds on this boss will not crimp the style you set by trying to get us all killed as often as possible. Get a guild group if your raid time is closing in on you.

That’s one nice thing about playing a resto shaman. No one ever asks me for a specific buff. Tremor on occasion but the earth totem slot for rest isn’t much use so I just default to tremor anyway.

I did get a complaint once that I had cleansing totem down when there wasn’t anything to cleanse. Of course, we didn’t need mana spring or healing stream either but popped in something else just to make the whiner happy. And then switched *back* to cleansing totem when we got to the part of the instance where there was stuff to cleanse.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who makes “hand signals” at the monitor.

Good thing the whole transaction was not on Vent, ikes.

Oh boy. I had a similar experience myself. I got into an occulus. Don’s remember if it was Heroic but it probably was. It was a random. I loaded into the instance and start to eat my clam chowder, it’s easy to make and I like to make things as fast as I can. Next thing I know tank takes off and starts pulling stuff. I take off as well, I’m a cat. A couple of the little whelps and such later I find the tank asking for MoW. I do pop out of form to cast it and go back. After the fight, I try to explain that they’d have had it if they hadn’t taken off before asking..or looking…to see if everyone was ready. To which they start to talk back with all kinds of attitude about how I should stop in the middle of a fight to cast a buff. I told them how I wouldn’t be taxing the rest of the group for their failings and got out of there.
If you think you need a buff so bad that someone should stop in the middle of a fight to give it to you….stop now. Nothing’s more annoying than someone focusing on what buff they might be missing than fighting,tanking or healing.

DK not using Horn….FAIL. I always ask the DK in the group if they could horn if I see it down. Fortunately, never had anyone figure they shouldn’t use it.

Lots of instances of groups not communicating (NB I don’t consider “kings” proper communication), but I witnessed the opposite the other night.

I was tanking a random norm VH on my 77 bear and one of the “dps” (I use that term lightly) was chatting so much & having such a great rolling conversation with the healer, that he did 150 dps for the instance and 38 dps on the final boss.

Yes, he was alive the whole boss fight. No, he didn’t have agro & have to stop. No, he didn’t have to heal or decurse or anything other than pew pew.

Perhaps he was leveling a weapon, like the warrior earlier that day who was leveling his throwing knives the whole run of N HoS, i don’t know. But I do know there’s 2 new toons on my /ignore.

God, I love those “NO!” moments. Had a DK DPS in a run a couple of days ago who kept getting aggro ’cause he wouldn’t switch out of Frost Presence. So of course he starts spamming “heal HEAL priest heal”… That “No” felt oh, so good.

just if you want to know what stacks and what not. Sometimes I have to look that up.

It’s the same as a warrior asking for Kings. that’s why I battleshout as soon as I see a Pally in the group… He will always get that he can’t buff Might. ;)
Well, for myself I really have to say – there is so much shit going on in Randoms these days that I can really understand how you feel. I usually only make sure we have all buffs when we do things like Halls of Reflection. But really with the gear flowing around you don’t need buffs for geared people in 5mans.

People should just chill more and not get on the nerves of other people by nagging all the time.
Just take it easy and try to have fun – and please Blizz, give us an unlimited ignore list.

Kings, Might, Horn, overlapping makes the raid buff obsessive compulsive stacker in me cry…

Blind leading the blind. XD

Still! Buddy gets Kings then can stfu. That’s how it should be, how Ghostcrawler intended it to be, and you’ll *LIKE* it!

I’d ahve taken the extra time to fish around in the spellbook and give him Might, rank 1.
