Anyhow we continue, with the tank chain pulling and getting a beating in the mean time I manage to keep him alive thankfully I think due to the fact I was 76 if I was 71 we would of failed so bad. But I finally get time to drink as I am running on 2k mana, so I sit down tell the dk to wait a sec but does he.. No mr invinicble runs off pulls the commander trash mobs, You know the ones where the alliance/horde boss is? pulls not just the first lot, but all upto the boss…… I manage to keep him my bro and myself alive long enough to kill the boss. As you can expect my mana is like 1% now so instead of giving me chance to drink the tank runs off whilst im half way through reviving the lazy dps who didnt release.

Then we get out of that corridor into the section of 1 humanoid 2 demon dog mobs who patrol, he pulls them along with the 4 extra mobs at the top of the ramp.. Ignoring my please of could I get some mana? and dont go mad pulling I have no mana + these mobs silence….

We some how survive… so without hesitation he runs headlong into the mobs in front of the boss, then pulls the boss when they die straight away leaving me with again 2k mana(doing well so far). We down the boss, so I finally sit down drink ignoring the idiotic dk who has already run off and pulled 2 more groups + a pat… jump up with full mana, just get to the dk (within range but ofcourse out of line of sight as he disappeared around the corner to get more mobs :S) and see him die… to them indure “STUPID F**K HEALER LEARN TO KEEP UP” To which if people know me I replied in a similer manner off – “…. Ok there is something on this game to which we refer to as mana… which we need to use spells, a healer uses this magic thing called mana to cast his healing spells a healer without any mana = no heals so let me get some mana up”.

In the end after 5minutes of him being an idiot, someone voted to kick him from the group it failed, then another vote went up straight away and that succeeded so I guess the others agreed.

10minutes later, he ends up back in the damn group *sigh* pulls two groups and leaves the instance, Burning blade I hate you …. except that other dk who was from his realm Jsparrow / Fearlesspirate he was nice, and also brought his alt char to finish off the instance .

So lets all stay away from low level DK tanks!

Damn thats a wall of text….

A few days back I saw a post on the wow-europe forums about making a little guild with people who are very bad at instancing and wow generally but who are good at heart. It really got me interested and as yet I am in the talks of getting such a guild going, since I think that there are more players who just want to do dungeons in a easy slow pace. Nowadays it seems rushing instances is the only way to complete instances.

Nicely written btw!

/shudder

I am tank/heal dual spec, but I still sometimes forget to check that people have mana before starting a fight /blush

I remember a tank who went to Zul’Farrak’s top of the pyramid when we had to escort the NPC’s down the stairs; we all had agreed to fight on top of stairs but obviously the tank had a different plan, although never said a word, so when everyone said “ready” he just rushed down in the middle of all of them mobs, and of course he died after aggro-ing everything he could. “It’s THE HEALER!!! His fault” he screamed. “I did that everytime in another party and he kept me alive.”

Of course we never could convince him that this was “this party”, not “the other one” so he left angry calling us n00bz and all sorts…

But there seems to be an “opposition front” against DK’s in general, I always wondered why, maybe I should start one and see for myself.

But lo it was too early, for since then every DK tank I have had has been nothing short of terrible with a sprinkle of arrogance.

For some reason they want to pull everymob, turn their back on them and roll around in their own filth, and then shout at dps and healers, as they can’t hold aggro, and it is nigh on impossible to heal the damage they take.

People who can realize they are the problem are probably taking steps to ensure they don’t remain as one anyway.
