They allowed you to transfer your main's to test. I spent 15 minutes transfering, 10 minutes patching, 30 minutes in the queue, then logged on my druid.

Was I there to test how good I was with my balance gear? No. Was I finally going to spec feral with the tons of feral gear I'd accumulated from AQ? No. I shifted into bear, /danced, realized all was right with this patch and logged out, content in the knowledge that this patch would be the best one ever.

I hope they also fixed it so that the bear doesn't have that retarded angry look on his face 24/7. He should look angry when attacking, but peaceful when at rest, and certainly not angry while dancing. Just one of my pet peeves

As if other classes cant pull up huge numbers with that sort of preparation / gear and talents. A priest does ? Oh noes he can heal too ! nerfplz

I was kinda thinking about making a Priest and actually knowing I don't have to suck in PvP is a huge incentive.

I don't mind being bitch nearly as much if I can kick butt somewhere else. Hopefully Priests will be a FotM, which can't possibly be a bad thing for anyone ever.

1: Priest says " 30 Holy/21 disc lfg!"
/t Priest "Come to >insert instance here<"
Priest says "OMW."

*15 minutes later, at the nearest Graveyard*

/g WTF, why didn't you heal?? I thought you were a Holy priest?
Priest says "I am much gracious for you to invite DPS to group but not much Honor making here, but in battleground good for rank and equipment."

Priests aren't unpopular right now, they are just inactive because people rolled shadow priests and when they realized they'd actually have to heal later, quit. When leveling up there are alot of priests and some of them even heal now and then. Giving priests alot of damage options will sadly just attract the dpsadin crew to priests. /cry

Dyscord · 03-20-2006, 08:10 AM

mmmm... nef mace + chromag claw. I can almost taste the mage's pain. Its exquisite...

Its only whetted my appetite though... I need to redouble my efforts to convince my guildleader to let me bid on the Eye of Sulfuras. If I could ever get the hammer I'd just sit in IF all day on my druid proudly displaying it, drinking in the suffering of hundreds of newbie warriors and paladins. Their cries would be a symphony.

I went all elemental/enhancment with my Shaman but whenever I felt like doing an instance I sat back and played the good little healer. That was my first character at release so I had yet to learn that I was the exception and not the rule. Now I expect anyone who isn't healing specced to bitch and moan and pretend that they don't even have those abilities.

Shadow priest in WSG yesterday flat out told me, "I don't heal". Yet another fucktard that should have rolled a mage. On my shaman I specced 30 resto and went purification/parry so I could be the best instance healer I could be. You still get shit on by all the priests/druids because of the other 90% of shamans that don't/won't heal.

Believe me, I'm much happier as a Warlock even though I'm on the Alliance side. No one expects anything out of me and when I don't fuck up simple things like Banish, Seduce, and Soulstone, and maybe do a Summon I am a god among men as far as the pickup group is concerned.

The PVP system is built in such a way that the healers are better off dealing damage if they wish to earn rank. Exactly how peopel were afraid it was going to work. If you don't like it, do not blame the players, blame the game.

While in a raid group, while right beside a warrior, as a priest, there is no way you're better off in shadowform mind flaying than out of shadowform mind flaying and tossing a flash heal on the warrior. If you're soloing outside a group, absolutely yes. Otherwise, no chance.

Then don't group with him if he doesn't heal! It's that simple!
I personally prefer duoing in AV with a shadow priest than with a mage because he doesn't drop dead whenever a rogue leaves stealth and he can actually throw me a shield.

Arbitrary · 03-20-2006, 09:09 AM

I have no problem assigning blame to the solo healer going dps. That guy really needs to reroll or group up or something.
