Ohhhh, that’s some real cry baby stuff there man… clearly you need to have tour hand held and be told how your so important and nessessary.
Can always sell your services as a healer, thats not banned… i make around 250 gold a week just selling tanking carrys, easily 55g an hr when im running stealth runs on my rogue… not to mention farming and ah flipping… final thoughts
Re-evaluate the way you look at the game.
This event is horrid for healers and there is a huge disparity between rewards.
In my experience I got coins (1) 100% of the time when I tagged and stayed alive til they died. (2) 50% if I healed while a specific person was attacked and stayed alive until the enemy died. (3) 0% if I died-ressed-ran back in and got a heal in.
As a former lvl40 Resto Sham, I can confirm everything OP stated. I only ran with guildies, even then, it was…well, I can’t use the words I want to…doo doo. I managed to get my cloak, thought about the weapon and then thought better of it. I’m now maining Prot/DPS War and tbh, LOL…it’s not much better. I get kited, stunned, ranged and CC’d nonstop. Meanwhile, Hunters, caster classes and rogues all yammer on about how they “easily” get 700 to 900 per event. This event clearly demonstrates the level of lacking Blizzard is w/SoD.
Entire event is for zugzug oneclickchickens, hunters, and mage aoe spam. I on average get 25-30% less than my group solely for being the first one bum rushed in every engagement.
Initially I rlly liked the STV event and healed them all.
But now that ppl have gear and people get dropped, and despite being geared af myself, my heals don’t keep anyone up really and it’s just no longer fun
It’s this that drives me nuts.
I’ve noticed that if Teammate A and C go for a kill but Teammate B is helping to peel for me and I heal myself to stay alive, when A+C get their kill, unless I healed then with more than Just Mending and Renew (unlikely as I’m being focused by a rogue or warr or something), I don’t get credit. Pretty consistently. But sometimes player B still does.
I have noticed, however, that I tend to get credit for a player I didn’t tag if that player damages me, and my team then kills them.
Some players may feel that if my teammates finished a kill “without” me while I healed myself through being focused, but I maintain that my being focused by 2-3 of their 5 while my team singled one out to burst is what gave them the opportunity to secure the kill in the first place.
So, it just infuriates me that I have 3 level 40 healers, and all 3 perform better when I play them as DPS for the event, because as DPS I always get credit. I’d like the play the role that I enjoy, but I guess I’ll be continuing to participate in the Spriest/moonkin meta or AOE farming a shrine as a fire mage. Cause that’s clearly better for the game.
/sigh
