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.
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.
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.
