Dungeoneer’s log WoW date 752023. Draktharon Keep + +
Score one for the anti-RDFers today. Today’s daily was a full clear, no deaths, wipes; just success all the way.
We’ll see how this trend continues.
Dungeoneer’s log WoW date 762023. Nexus + +
After yesterday’s perfect run, today took a dismal turn. Right as the dwarf boss in nexus was about to be downed, one of the dps decides to criticize my play to tries to tell me to take out the mirror images with a melee hit. I proceeded to tell him it’s not my job and he needs to take care of them himself and/or the other dps, just as he was getting himself killed.
The whole thing spiraled out of control from there. The tank wasn’t playing very well and decided to pull ahead without me while I was still regaining mana…
Off on a quick tangent…
I’ve noticed 99% of all tanks out there pull ahead at their own pace without checking to see if the healer is maybe ready or present. I’m starting to get a little fed up with it and not going to tolerate it for much longer.
Returning to congruency…
After we wiped to the mobs, they decided to accuse me of griefing and being a bad healer, of course, and throw me out of the dungeon thus ruining my triumphs and essence for the day.
I of course attribute all this to a lack of RDF. The log will continue day-to-day.
It is your job to melee the images around you. You want tanks to do what you want but you don’t want to contribute to the mechanics of the dungeon. I’d kick you too and find a healer that can right click too.
I made a macro /e I need mana /s I need mana /p I need mana to get thier attention. I just hit one button and it gets everyone’s attention. When I first made the macro I was frustrated and a little pissed so it also had a /y I need mana. But I calmed down and removed the yell.
Resto druid here.
I take care of 99% of the mirror images myself. I tell everyone to just ignore it ALL and I will do it all by myself. In VH, Nexa$$ and Occu.
HOWEVER, you’re a shaman, and you don’t have moonfire. But you do have Shocks. And you aren’t healing 100% of the time. So yes, you should be downing images.
The more images you kill, the less you have to heal. That’s the biggest thing healers fail to understand.
If I’m going to be put through these situations, then I want RDF to do the grouping for me. And should a situation like this happen again, I’d have little cause to complain about since I have RDF.
Interesting that you brought up the tank and not the other 3 lazy dps whose job it is supposed to be.
Great for you if you want tack on that extra responsibility for yourself.
What bad logic and stupidity. You don’t know what kind of players I’m healing out there, and if I really am healing 100% of the time or not.
So basically, based on your stupidity and bad logic… I’m going to have to start announcing from now on that this healer<---------- doesn’t take care of mirror images?
Listen to yourself? You don’t see how stupid it sounds?
WoW dungeon expert here and advice for the rest of you…
It is the DPS’s responsibility to deal with mirror images; not the healers, not the tanks.
And I would go to trade chat immediately after that, ring your name out with happened for everyone to see, just like I did for the crew that kicked me.
I’m just going to sit down and drink and let them die from now on if they pull ahead. They’re going to pay for their own irresponsibility.
That does make me wonder though, who’s responsibility is it to take care of Mirror Images? Tank because they do the least DPS so they only need to poke the images anyway? Healer because if nobody needs healing why not throw a wand or moonfire or whatever?
DPS because you kill things anyway?
And if it’s the DPS responsibility, which dps? Because I’m sure if you asked all 3 in the party many would say “let the other guy do it”
You’re right I don’t play M+ dungeons in retail I detest them.
But we’re not talking about like a M+20 keystone, we’re talking about H++ in wrath classic. And in that context mirror images are DPS’s responsibility, not the healers and not the tanks, they have better things to do.
DPS particularly ranged with an insta cast have to be exceptionally lazy to expect a healer to deal with mirror images.
