WoW Rant
I've discovered the dungeon finder in WoW. Yes, yes, I know it's been around for, well, I don't know how long because I've always avoided dungeons because bad things happened to me early in my WoW career.
Anyway, I did a run with my daughter's guild and really had a blast. Actually, that's all I've been doing in-game ever since and I even made a new holy paladin healer just for this purpose.
Yesterday was definitely a WoW overdose day. It's all I did before going to Easter dinner. First I healed a group in the Scarlet Monastary Cathedral. The warrior was on drugs in a major sort of way. She ran off before we had even completely assembled and by the time we got to her she had pulled the whole fountain area and was almost dead. We beat down all those mobs and then she went off and pulled everything except the boss in the building. Again, almost dead and all her mana using dps were out of mana. She just did not stop at all.. Surprisingly enough, no one died. We were in there maybe 15 minutes tops. Then the warrior teleported out and dropped the group. The rest of us were like, wtf just happened.
Next up was Scholomancer which I've never been in, ever. To start we had a druid tank who wanted to tank as a boomkin. Much death ensued before we even hit the first boss. Someone dropped the group and we got a warrior who came in as dps. He noticed that the druid wasn't holding aggro and offered to tank. We were all like 'Hell yeah!".
Then we got to the first boss. Oh, I forgot to mention that I told everyone up front that I had never been in there before. I like to tell folks so they know they have newbies among them. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not so much. Anyway, the first boss fight started and I could not heal anyone. I would target them, hit heal and nadda. I couldn't figure out what was happening. We all died and the tank started cursing me out and saying very vile things. I left the group because I just didn't know what had happened and didn't want to take that role on in that dungeon before I knew what was what.
So I went off and did some questing and thought about what had happened. I finally came up with ( after some research) the boss had charmed me. That is why he was green/friendly to me and I could not attack him or heal any of my group mates. Also, the tank wound up on the other side of the grate that had closed and it kept telling me he was out of range. So, maybe it wasn't all my fault. Finally, I hat just hit lvl 40 and everyone else in the group was at least 42. Every mob in the area aggroed on me and that certainly did not help.
Oh well, it's just a game, just a game...
