And part of joining group content is to do what you can to make sure the group is successful, not give up when the group isn’t doing what you want them to. When you say “they get what they deserve,” you’re actually saying that the group has to suffer. And because of it, the OP was kicked and the group went on with the members they felt would be more successful.
really now lol
i’ve never had trouble keeping up with my lock so it’s on him
Yes, if only we had a spellsteal so we could steal a dk’s spellsteal and leverage that ad infinitum. Then I could do either death coil anytime I wanted.
General discussion’s only rule when it comes to queued content is everyone must play the role they are assigned to, even if it’s unnecessary. Every other requirement is elitism.
“Drain life is hard, L2 Warlock 4head.”
Ignore and done.
Yup, which means DPS shouldn’t continue to do stupid stuff after they’ve been asked repeatedly to stop doing stupid stuff. Heals had to make a call, waste mana on the DPS that has the opportunity to prevent the damage that’s being done to him, or keep the rest of the team alive to try and salvage the encounter.
OP didn’t give up though. He kept the majority of the group alive for the encounter, than got kicked because stupid.
No, the group suffers when the heals and/or tank has to run themselves out of resources keeping that one stupid alive.
Which is sad, really, that they didn’t take that opportunity to learn from their mistake, and instead punished the OP.

You’re exaggerating the impact of burning rush; 4% hp before mitigation (I currently have 401k HP and take ticks of 10k every second, which doesn’t factor in Resounding Protection absorbing 50k/30s, leech, Demon Skin regenerating .5% of my HP every second, soul leech returning 8% of my damage done, and other various reductions/life returns) is not the difference between a wipe or surviving. If it is, there are bigger issues.
Realistically, passive heals that do not require any extra attention from the healer is enough to cover that damage. This is both a misunderstanding of Warlocks and burning rush.
And yes, the healer did give up healing one third of the DPS because he didn’t like nor understand burning rush. That is on him. Nowhere did he say he was out of mana and it was either heal the warlock or the tank, - he said he simply chose to just not spend the mana rather than continuing with the run like the other 4 clearly wanted to, he chose to try and prove a point and let the member die. If he was out of mana, that was not because of burning rush. It simply isn’t enough damage to result in a healer going OOM.
He was rightfully removed for hurting the groups progress.

Hey, I’m not the person doing the glass cannon/burning rush during the boss fight/drain group healing resources here. I use demon skin, OR I
switch to rush, drain soul, healthstones and whatever else I can to keep up in transit. I’m an inscriptionist and I can switch talents at will.

You’re the 'lock, I’m not, so I’ll take your word on the general aspect of your post. I’ll just say that while that spell may not have been enough by itself to kill the 'lock, it probably didn’t help with w/e else the 'lock was taking that killed him. The 'lock died, Burning Rush was part of what he was using, it does damage, he didn’t take it off to help out the healer, so he himself was hurting the group’s progress too.
I’ve had healers let me die because I was doing stupid stuff, wasn’t paying attention, stealing aggro from the tank, standing in stupid, etc… Yea, my initial reaction at dying was being miffed, but once I realized I was being an idiot, I didn’t do anything but learn from my mistakes. I didn’t initiate a vote kick, I didn’t rage at them, just went on my merry way and tried to do better next time.

This guy was like that warlock in the barney64 Zul’farrak video.
“I don’t care what you think, kid.”

I throw hots on locks as I know the use it between pulls. However if he is leaving it on during combat he deserves to die
A-hole definitely not.
Attention seeker however, yes.
I would have gone one further than you, after asking him nicely three times not to use it during combat I would have then started a vote kick for him.
Going to General Discussion to discuss an experience you had in the game makes you an attention seeker now?

Theres a difference between not doing exactly what you want and basically deliberately making yourself unhealable. There is no blame on anyone but the lock. He tried to heal through it initially, he warned him, and finally had to focus on those who could be helped.
If you see the healer at fault here, please don’t join groups. You’re an extreme liability. You don’t have an argument here. I have no trouble being critical of healers when they’re at fault - I’ve got several threads on these very forums of me arguing that healers are at fault and need to step it up. This is not one of those situations. The lock commited suicide by burning rush, end of story.

Yeah, im not going to heal you if you leave burning rush on the whole dungeon.
If burning rush is unhealable for your groups healer, they are the liability. I’ve never had an issue in any of my groups and have had a pretty… successful history doing group content.
That’s not what was said, though. The Warlock simply had burning rush on when the healer didn’t want him to so the healer gave up and compromised the run.
My wife will not heal burning rush period, it is mostly as some have said been used as a trolling method.
