There’s these books, y’see, that drop in the higher level Warcraft instances. They’re spell books for group buffs: Arcane Brilliance (mage intelligence buff), Gift of the Wild II (the fancy druid all-stat buff) and Prayer of Fortitude II (the priest HP buff).
The guild has about a billion of these in the guildbank for any up-and-coming alts reaching max level 60, plus each and every guildmate has several duplicates themselves that ya CAN’T GIVE AWAY. This is good, in theory, because I really hate games that hide away essential class spells in the tougher instances or dungeons on rare ass drops, so the poor sap has to either pay a king’s ransom to complete his spellbook or rely on the kindness of strangers.
Nevertheless, whenever another of these books drops, everyone in the raid will groan and there’s a minor argument over who has to loot the damn thing.
Not me. I like to loot them. I even keep a complete set on my person at all times, and I’ll tell you why.
Every time I’m grouped with one of those stingy buffers … you know the type, you have to CONSTANTLY remind them to redo their buffs on the group and they moan and grudgingly rebuff and I always think, wtf, I’m so sorry to ask you to DO YOUR JOB … every time I’m grouped with one of those, I like to give them a parting gift of their class buff book.
“Here ya go. This should come in handy for your next group.” (with someone else)
I mean, it couldn’t hurt to relearn it, since its usefulness was so obviously lost on them the first time they got the spell.
Thats actually one of the funnest things i’ve read. But is there anything u can do to Paladin who wont cast blessings on u?
Oh. One of those. Ya, we have a few of those pallies in our raids, too.
There is no worse fate than BEING ASSIGNED TO GROUP 8. That’s right, they can babysit all the hunters and a rogue or two. They don’t like buffing? See how they like patch healing.
As soon as the hunters express satisfaction with the paladin assigned to them, we promote him/her to group 7 and assign an even shittier paladin to group 8.
Hey, no one said that being a hunter was going to be easy.
If it’s a pickup group tho, meh, what can ya do.
god i would kill myself if i had to use a pick up group for a 40 man run… thank god for being a big raiding guild. no pugs for me kthxbye
Pugs for anything above UBRS are suicide…
i did Zul gurub once with a pug (because my 2 guild groups were well stocked on healers/mages :/ ) and it was a horror… 3 priests and only myself (a druid) felt responsible for healing tanks…
