    They should only write comics about something everybody can understand, like how peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth, or how bad airline food is.

    They're fighting a thing that is stronger than them and the guy who is supossed to do a HoT (whatever that is) turns into a cat (as druids can do in Word of Warcraft) and runs away (he runs faster as a cat) instead of doing a HoT.

    He is 70, they are around 40.

    One is a hunter (I'm guessing Tycho) and is using Herod's Shoulder, which is pretty bad for a hunter, unless you really can't find jack shit in terms of shoulders. It's just got stam, that's it.

    And seriously, no matter how bad shaman are in PvP right now, you're gonna get one-shot if you go up against an S2 geared fucker when you are just starting to groom your mount.

    EDIT: HoT is heal over time, that's the majority of druid healing spells. Heal on a tick.

    Viper sting removes mana, but it's a bloody poison, which shaman can remove. Misterguy (I'm assuming that's gabe) made the right choice by getting the fuck out of dodge.

    I had actually started making this exact comic all over again in paint but replacing the.. bad thing with a Rayquaza and the two weaker guys as a Bidoof and Chimchar.

    It's probably for the best you explained it. My drawings lacked

    Okay lets wrap my head around this one.

    1) 2 guys (One obviously a Druid) are fighting X badguy (I've never seen this one I quit WOW quite some time ago)
    2) Character 1 has a plan and the other character has an item they both need to defeat X badguy
    3) Character 2 is running away because he doesn't have the item and needs to fetch it or, X Badguy is very hard and he wants no part in it.

    Probably not close, but its what I see.

    This is a good analogy.

    They are bidoof, he is Rayquaza .

    Although if you're going up against a Rayquaza with a Bidoof you probably have some sort of plan in mind.

    Strangely enough, I remember in one of the old podcasts that they were talking about RP servers on WoW, and were questioning how it goes. Now, I rolled on an RP-PvP server, and my experience was a lot different from what they expected. But honestly, I thought the exact same thing as them at first. Walking everywhere, doing everything in RP, having trouble finding an excuse for why we were killing Onyxia....AGAIN. Why Onyxia was STILL in stormwind after you had epically ousted her.

    I came into the RP-PvP scene expecting to RP erryday, to use it as a sort of D&D medium where every action moved along some sort of epic storyline. I quickly found out that I was horrible at this, because I knew jack shit about the lore, and everything I did was a big mess of shit.

    Eventually, I realized that the main appeal of RP-PvP servers was NOT the RP, it was that idiots were not attracted to that server-type. And if I saw a guy named Ssjtrunks or misterguy, I could rest easy that I could report them and get a name-change, rather than suffer through the stupid-name.

    Speaking of which, here's a hilarious result of one stupid-name:
    Since you guys seem to be having field day with my new name
    I'll just go elsewhere, because I'll be damned if I put up with another fucking crack about the name Foliax. Done too much shit in MMOs with characters named Foliax, too many adventures, too many GODS KILLED to tolerate the shit you guys have been giving me since you helped me get a name change.

    Which I don't get, since the name Deathfinder is far from RP quality, and I hardly got any shit over it. I take a step in the right direction and get a RP quality name, and the cracks are just non-fucking-stop. Shocked

    Anyways, still love you all, just can't put up with the name bashing anymore.

    At any rate, I find RP-PvP servers to be great because of an addon called SEGUI. It gives my spells and abilities a % chance to proc phrases to go along with them. On a regular server, this would give me looks. On an RP-PvP server, nobody minds that the dwarf is telling the boss that he is going to chop his feet off by the ankles.

    I don't get it at all, and I played WoW.

    I guess his friend bounced because the fight was too difficult.

    But why is this funny?

    Well, there's a bit of humor in the fact that he fight was obscenely difficult, to the point where there was pretty much no chance in hell of them winning, yet the guy on the left still wanted to try and duke it out, and remained oblivious to the fact that his partner not only thought he was nuts, but had left.

    But yeah, it's not their best work.

    Look there is such a thing as overanalysation.

    It's when you explain something so often and in such detail that it ceases being funny.

    Kind of like what's happening in this thread.

    What I'm trying to say is stop explaining the comic, it's not really that hard to get.
