Healers and Tanks in the World

Is anyone else super tired of random undergeared dps running their overpulls into your aoe or just close enough for one of your heals to splash on them therby insuring your death to their garbage?

Getting put to max Jailer because my stupid heals hit people I have never met, am not in party with, and want nothing to do with rescuing from their desire to run through everything is making it so that my already deep dislike of everything in the Maw is swiftly becoming hatred. Seething. Raw. Hatred.

Getting to take the enemy side’s mobs because they dragged them into swipe range is also just ridiculous.

happens all the time doing wq’s - like they wanna tag to get credit, then run off cause now i got the agroes – i run the mobs off to evade them for fun if i’m bored and not time constrained with my current play session.

I usually just leave if someone does that. Get out of aggro range and let the mobs reset then continue what I was doing.

This is why I… shadowmeld

Yeah, this is the most annoying thing. DPS that run stuff to you so you get the aggro while you’re tanking what you need, then run off so they don’t have to waste time killing it and still get credit for it.

DPS are the most selfish !@#$ers when it comes to WQ’s/Maw.

I would love to see Blizz do something that says, if a DPS just tags the mob and goes out of range or does no dmg in X time, they get zero credit for the kill.

I get that on my prot Paladin. On this hunter I’ll use a tank to pew with. I’ll put my pet away and pew. I figure the tanks tanking and I’m helping him kill stuff faster so we both finish quicker. Leaving him with extra aggros is bm.

I don’t car, ill try to aggro whatever is pulled. If we wipe, then we start again. Dying is also part of the game.

If it’s the opposite faction, I intentionally switch to single target only attacks when they try it on my bear.
If it’s the same faction and I need the mobs they bring me I will kill what I need and leave :grin:

It’s a bit dicey in the maw, but on my main (pandaren brwm) I normally run with ox statue: if I get the sense that they’re trying to leave me with the check, I drop statue, touch of death the thing Im trying to get, then bolt.

That being said, if it’s something like that weekly Perdition Hold quest and I see they’re trying to join in, I have helped people out before.

Out in the world though…never underestimate my willingness to chi torpedo off a cliff to get away from your stupid decisions. I’m bouncy. I’ll live, probably.

Yeah I try this too, but my damn trinket pulsates AoE so often…

I mostly get upset on my MW monk when they drop their trash on me because my stupid heals do what they want, but this made me smile and I think chi torpedo’ing off cliffs may be my new solution even if I know I am going to die for it.

They tried it last night and today, lol. usually its someone from my side…Horde…but a couple alliance players tried it.
I just hit kitty speed and race out of the area and come back when its over.

the ones I really hate are the solo players who want YOU to kill their stuff for them…not just dragging it thru you to get away.
I intentionally make sure Im ONLY hitting MY target when they pull that crap unless we’re working together.
i cant stand lazy players. lol. They complain there isnt enough to do…then they try their best NOT to DO anything. Probably the same ones bragging about being AFK in LFR, lol

Fix that, and the rest won’t matter.

This reminds me of the time my wife and I pulled a huge mob In Drustvar. We were seriously undergeared and the mob was some aoe stun slam baddies.

Anyway, we’re fighting a running (losing) battle and getting pounded…falling back when we notice our only chance is to run and go over a cliff. So we drag all 15 monsters to the edge and only at the last second, do we notice a dude FISHING right there as the mob slams into us.

We fell, and prolly died but I always imagine the surprise that guy got with just a fishing pole in his hand.

Weird, this never happens to me. I just deal with the same old boring “everyone zerging everything” in the relevant daily quest zone, and there’s no one anywhere else to worry about, really.

I can’t imagine any of the world mobs (outside maybe some of the Ardenweald or Maw elites) even being that much of a concern. And they’d be easy enough to escape from.

When i see someone try and do this on my pally, I bubble and watch in horror as they try and run away.

You want credit from me, stay and fight.

As someone with heals I still do help, but I will simply pop some healing, maybe some dots, I certainly won’t be putting in much DPS effort. Even the other day I grouped with some random in the maw who was low on health and not able to be healed and let them ride me back to the sanctuary as I was on my way anyway,

But I used to be the nice guy who would help people who looked like they were in trouble, but after many times people waiting until I have aggro and than leaving I gave up doing this. Now I just follow them around and tag their mobs with a single target dot, than keep following them if they want to be that guy, bugger it kill your own mobs and don’t get me involved like that.

Basically this lol, i always have bop or bubble handy and then they go on my no heal crap list :sunglasses:

Things die so quickly, I don’t mind if someone rolls their mobs in when I’m on my tanks. It’s a little annoying and I’ll shadowmeld if they bring like 5 mobs to me over what I need because I just want to mount and go away.
