    duh

    When I play resto druid, or healadin, I have one motto, and I make it clear


    Tanks get healed

    Everyone else gets rez'd

    I'm an asshole healer, and have, at times, stood next to dps that keep pulling aggro to watch them die, even though earth shield and healing stream totem is enough to keep most tanks alive in the heroic dungeons and I'm spending my time throwing lightning bolts.

    I will also laugh at anyone that dies after the boss does because of ground based damage they could have stepped out of.

    When I hear the term "half naked', it means, to me, that they are either topless or bottomless.

    Primus is an expert on such matters, and was consulted by the MoD on matters of nakedness relating to gas masks


    Anyway I'm not a WoW fan but I liked the comic so

    WOW COMIC but nobody cares

    Primus you are confusing the comic thread

    This is supposed to be offensive to me because you assume I like my mother

    But really all you're doing is saying you fucked a chick so repugnant that she had to wear a mask

    Which... we already knew about you man

    It's just the full-face mask has always been for the fat ugly woman's benefit, to save her the heartstopping stress of seeing the freakish twist of skeletal flesh that's attempting to penetrate her


    So in closing Primus and WoW comics are dumb but this particular comic was not dumb

    The prosecution rests

    If the dps pulled aggro.. then how did the tank die? Wasn't the boss killing the dps? What was killing the tank?

    Or they could have been a really really shitty dps and tried to stand right beside the tank and took an 80-Ony forward cleave.

    look, I think we can all agree that Meiz is awful.

    Don't you have some virtual chores to do and 1's to press?

    Making something about/around WoW is like talking about breathing.

    What the fuck are virtual chores?

    whenever someone points out what a whiny bitch meiz is (which is very often), his standard response is to make some baseless accusation about how degrading and meaningless their pathetic life may be by making assumptions about them being a virgin, working a dead end job, living in parent's basement, etc

    don't try to make sense of it

    also the tank died because the healer was trying to keep the dps up after he drew aggro, and since he's dps his damage mitigation is shit which means he needs more heals which means the healer builds more aggro
    once the dps goes down (inevitably in that case if the tank can't take aggro back) then the healer's next

    In theory, once the DPS goes down it goes back onto the tank, or onto other DPS. There are only three generally-occuring situations in which a healer can pull aggro. Either the tank has aggro on one mob and neglected to spread threat around onto others in the fight (patrolling adds walking into things fall under this category), or if there are some kind of complete threat wipe mechanic, or if everyone else is dead.

    hmmm..I thought aggro for healers was scaled based on healing done as well as damage, so if you're power healing someone who's got shit damage mitigation and the tank can't pull aggro back off them, then I'd think it entirely possible that the healer would get aggro once the dps goes down

    keep in mind I haven't played wow for a year or so

    All tank threat mechanics got boosted a while ago. Healing aggro pretty much only draws the attention of mobs that haven't been picked up at all by the tank, or have been hit once or twice and then ignored.

    the most dangerous game is prehealing the tank right as he pulls. You can get pretty close to pulling the boss if you're too early and start spamming him.

    Doing anything on a boss pull can be risky. I once got Prince to run towards the main raid group instead of the tank because I hit Seal of Command right after he saw the tank but before the tank had actually hit him.

    DPS pulled aggro because the tank sucked, obviously.

    Every healer you bring just lowers your DPS anyway. Perfect group = 5 mages.
