[WoW] CHAT: There's no BOOM in OOM
Posts
In 5-mans.
Because apparently I'm too awesome as a healer to let me boomkin it up in raids.
Stupid guildies. But, of course, they're right.
Also, jokes on them as I'm unguilded now. Har-dy-har-har.
I'm the same on my paladin. :P
Sucks to be so awesome, huh?
Then I saw a geared one in a raid.
Now I call them "Aggrokins" and just hope we kill the boss before their mediocre (but surprisingly high aggro) dps gets us all killed.
That said, I don't think we have a raiding Boomkin anymore. They're all trees except the one feral who is a superb tank.
They'd rather pull aggro every -- single -- goddamn -- time, and rely on cool-headed enterprising Rogues like moi to keep the mob from biting their head off with mah stunnin'
Even after. It was more of a "DPS LAWLS" than a lack of threat reduction ability though.
How many people do we have for that now?
and also less Retadins
if I brought all of the Retadins, we'd have like fourteen people
I will go tank then.
Back when I used to spec for PvE, I often had 4/5 Subtlety. Couldn't have 5/5 because I needed those points elsewhere. Namely TREESQUAD OF MINOR ANNOYANCE!!!
Tank: Me
DPS: Oboro and Fodder
who else?
I can't tell whether I should do a Let's Play of Super Mario RPG, bleh. (I've found watching Let's Plays are excellent for avoiding boredom while playing WoW)
DPS: Etoile, Gorlan (Shaman), Fodlock (Warlock), sum Retadin
Heals: sum Retadin I am forcing to respec
need more heals and moar tank
It can come in handy. Back when a friend tried to get me back into the game so I could play with him and his g/f I rolled a character (Alliance...*shudder*) on a PvP server. Some bastard (a shaman, around level 56 IIRC) managed to get on top of the roof of Southshore's inn and was sniping lowbies. You couldn't stay in LoS very long as he could move out of the way, but a moonkin arrived and summoned some treants on his ass. They spawned on top of the roof and tore him a new one.

If you don't use quotes the second link is this article.. If you use quotes the first link is to the Kotaku article which links to the CVG article.
There is a lesson to be learned here, children.
Random highlight: me (holy paladin), buddy (disc priest) and random MS warrior guarding our flag in WSG for a bit[1]. Ret paladin + MS warrior try to keel disc priest. Me and him just stand there and heal through it all while the friendly MS warrior kills both pally and warrior. Fun fun.
[1] We don't believe in this silly "defense" thing, so we're all always on the move toward the enemy flag and/or flag carrier.
you must choose one
or both
One of my guildies freaked out because I banked the robot in favor of my typical accompanying pet, the firefly. He made this big deal about how the robot was the best pet ever. I was like, whatever dude. Then he wiped us in heroic ramparts. :P
Edit
Oh, didn't realize it was a problem. We'll blame the long post I was working on...
Speaking of, I just posted a huge wall of text (spoiler-blocked) into the Profession thread if anybody want to read it.
Those kind of posts are frowned upon. I don't think it is a rule yet, but consider this post by Tube:
When I first got mine I didn't know that the robots attack each other. So I was running around IF and I see a bunch of rockets swarming at me. I freak out when they blow Roborobert up. I also didn't know they died.
What can I say, I don't feel my paladin is complete without his mini-diablo.
The firefly or oozeling or any whelpling etc. are all cooler than the stupid fucking robot that 1shots other stupid fucking robots.
From the gifts you get from under the tree in IF/Org.
