The Return of the Cranky Healer

I’m a relatively patient person.

With that said, I still prefer to stick to healing people that I know – and got to do just that over the weekend when Wyat, Ceirin and I decided to pop into some heroics to get Cei some badges and gear (new guildie, new 80!). We wound up in Violet Hold with another person from our realm – a fellow RPer – and a random Death Knight from a different server.

Right off the bat, the DK pissed me off. He triggered the instance event without warning (“btw i started instance lolol”), then proceeded to bash the DPS of the other two members – even posted his Recount. Unfortunately, I was too busy healing to inform him that Recount is broken for cross-server LFG, but that’s not important.

The important part is this: Don’t piss off your fucking healer, kiddies.

Here are the easy ways to do this:

  • Go ahead, insult her guildmate … who is here to gear up so she can be better.
  • Insult the other, friendly, intelligent-typing person that’s from her server.
  • Be sure to insult the tank that she’s attached to, too. I mean, it’s not like he’s not the only thing between you and the Dragonkin that are eating his fase.
  • DEMAND things. Any things. Like heals. And a rez in the middle of combat.

Most of all: just be a dick.

I am not opposed to letting stupid people die, nor am I opposed to letting stupid people run back to their corpse or taking my sweet time to rez them. My lack of patience can definitely be attributed to certain issues of my own that I’m now aware of and may fix itself again in a few months (I used to be pretty easy-going and generally am), but, damn it, somebody was a jerk to my guildies and friends and that, right there, is how you wind up on my shit list.

It’s a Heroic. It’s Violet Hold. The tank is overgeared and the healer is a shield machine, both know what they’re doing. Two out of three DPS are intelligent people. If somebody is intelligent and pulling over 1,000 DPS, I have no problem with them; they aren’t pulling adds, they aren’t stealing aggro, they’re contributing and not making my job harder.

Have I mentioned that it felt really, really good to not heal this guy and to watch him die on trash? Also, to be like, “lol no” when he started begging for a rez? The fact that he actually did run back and that we held our own without him was just delicious.

So, beware, World of Warcraft denizens – don’t piss off the Troll in the dress.

    It’s gotten to the point where I’ve a macro ready to stab every time I pull up a random dungeon. “If you pull trash for me, I let you die. If you don’t watch Omen and pull from me more than a few times I let you die. If you complain about either of these rules I will giggle riotously should I end up letting you die.”

    We’ll see how that works out soon enough.

    I religiously follow the D4 rule. Dumb DPS Deserve to Die. I say this as a DPS. If I pull stupid shit, I get to eat the floor until everybody else is done making up for my mistake. I am then obliged to kiss the healer’s feet (but not the tank’s because ewwwww sweating feet in plate no) and grovel for any rezzes given. Or just provide candy and flowers.

    I have a “You yank it, you tank it” macro :D

    The other day, the random heroic I was healing decided they were going to do “Abuse the Ooze” in Halls of Stone, and started the even without explaining. Naturally my dk friend and guildie thought you were supposed to kill all the adds until the big ones came [I thought so too for that matter]. They started cussing at him because he was killing them, so he stopped killing them and started pulling the multitude of adds off me [they were letting all the oozes congregate on me]. I died, we wiped, and they vote kicked him. Naturally, I told them I was out too and left.

    Screwed themselves out of 3 emblems of some sort, an over 4k dpser [yup in a heroic] and a full t9 plus disc priest… all because they didn’t explain the strategy and let the healer die.

    I must admit it was pretty nice watching him go down. Thanks for that. :3

    @ Dare: I, unfortunately, wasn’t very surprised, and continue weeping for our class on a daily basis.

    @ Douz: Lemme know how that goes, I am curious!

    @ Addy: Please to be teaching all Pug DPS this philosophy. I’m the same way when I DPS. “OH SHIT I AM SO SORRY D: D:”

    @ Askevar: Blaugh. Groups that do not explain an achievement = lose. :-/

    @ Cei: Anytime. Anytime at all. ;)
