Am I the a-hole?

Healing on my monk and a warlock was taking insane amounts of damage. See he has burning rush on and ask him twice to turn it off. After he doesnt, I opt to not heal him and save the mana so I can heal the tank and other DPS. Warlock died as expected.

Next thing I know, I’m sitting back in Stormwind with a 30 min debuff and the warlock messaging me telling me to uninstall the game and calling me elitist scum.

Am I the a-hole in this situation?

Yes. That’s his only movement speed enhancing ability.

If he doesn’t use it, he’d have trouble keeping up with the group.

Heal the poor warlocks. They need all the love they can get after being abused for summons for so long.

Edit: Please read more of the thread before responding to this post. Getting tired of clarifying this point. :stuck_out_tongue:

dude, you toggle it on to catch up to the group and then turn it off.

You don’t leave it on like a dummy.

That is true. OP didn’t specify how it was being used.

If he’s standing still with it on, that is him being bad. :laughing:

Warlocks can’t really move. If he doesn’t Rush he won’t keep up. So you can heal him or wait for him lol

Whenever I use Burning Rush I make sure to have a Healthstone ready and make use of Drain Life.

No. Don’t think so.
If you ask him/her to turn it off during the combat, the lock is a-hole. Healing burning rush is terrible.
I can understand locks use it when they have to run and I heal them. But no, not during the combat.

I’d probably specify that in the OP. That being said, no. You’re not the A hole.

Yeah, specify that in the OP. In that case, the warlock was being stupid or intentionally trolling you.

So no, you are not the a-hole in this situation.

It has a toggle though. You shouldn’t have it toggled on when you’re standing still. If he just left it on while standing still casting that would be really stupid.

Burning Rush is to get you out of the “move your hiney or die” mechanics, not run you through a dungeon.

I never use it, and am rarely behind. In raids, no one is ever waiting on me. And since I’m ranged, I don’t even have to “be there” in the first place, I can be farther away. If anything makes be “behind” is that I’m simply in the back in the first place when the mobs die and the groups go rushing off.

It can be but it’s more for traversing the dungeon. Using it during fights is a nice way to get yourself killed if you aren’t careful with it in higher keys. That being said, context is important and it’s situational.

You do stay in the back, but you try keeping up with a good group that’s speeding along without using burning rush–you’d be late to the party on most pulls.

Rushing out of combat isn’t a big deal. As it turns out, what OP was talking about was someone that literally left it on while standing still. Guy was trolling, forgot to toggle it, or was just being dumb one.

Serious?

Good for you. :slight_smile:

Sad as it is I find the latter to be more believable than the former.
