Tales of a Healing Bitch.
Ok so as you may, or may not know I’m working on the little Pally, I am dual spec, Prot, and Holy. I been liking Holy, I wanted to get the knack of Prot. I want to start tanking again. So any tips from ProtPallyland feel free to add your two cents, or Holy for that matter.
Well I’m level 68, and I thought I would once more go in to the Breach with my Holy Skills. A Holy Pally in the guild told me, don’t bother with the late 60′s dungeon. They are a pain in the asses. Do I listen…nope.
So I queue up, and get a group in 5 seconds. I love being a healer. It’s Sethekk Halls….This should be ok if I remember correctly, not to hard…right? Wrong. The Tank is a Death Knight, specced Unholy…Which is doable. Wait …wtf He’s not using frost aura. Oh..Oh…Strike 1.
Next I run out of mana, so before the next pull….I say “Mana”…He pulls again.
I snap, and turn into an angry woman who just had her last piece of chocolate stolen from her. I told him sternly, ”Listen Buddy, I don’t know what you’re doing here, but it ain’t tanking. See that little blue bar under my health, that’s what I need to heal you. You better sharpen up buster, or you’ll be taking a nice ghost walk back to this dungeon.”
To his credit he apologized…
Next pull the guy pulls an entire room. Everyone bails, and I leave with, “Enjoy your walk, go eat a dick”

Being a healer certainly brings out my snark. I’m actually wondering if I should try tanking since I’m sure it would be even worse.

I was healing an instance the other day where the DK tank kept losing aggro to the mage. OVER AND OVER. I was healing the mage as much as I was having to heal the tank. I finallly went oom, mage died, but everyone else survived.
I assume, since one member is DEAD that there is no way this guy moves on to the next group of mobs. Oh how very wrong I was. In the middle of resurrecting the mage, I see the tanks life dwindling. Needless to say he got quite an earful.

My personal favorite healing experience was when I’d been asked “so are you gonna heal or not” I’d replied “No I’m just gonna stand here with my staff up my bum”. Never ceased to amaze me just how snippy I’d get when healing pugs.
After that experience I’d decided to forget going holy as a priest. Shadow was just so much more rewarding. Embrace the Shadow….

I love healing stories about tanks that are idiots. It makes my day. Keep them coming. I know on my healer it used to be a once a day event to run across idiots who QQ about getting heals, and looking at healthbars, but don’t realize there job is to look at our manabars.

Do YOU need a hug?
Level as prot man, it can be so much freakin’ fun (or was back in my day). Just pull 10 melee mobs, and be a spikey, unkillable ball of death.
