I'm annoyed

Charred Vanquisher tagging as a Disc Priest.

That is all ;)~

group up with others and let them do the work for you rather than fight hundreds of people for mob tagging in a small area if you don’t have reliable tagging abilities

I think some days are better than others. Sometimes I get random invites but today, “looking for daily group” wouldn’t work.

I’ll try again later.

Why aren’t you using SW:Pain???

I’d say it’s so OP for tagging, but don’t want it nerfed. It does damage the instant it hits unlike Living Bomb. Not that I’m complaining on mage since ice lance spam is a thing. Just saying there’s ways as a priest - disc is my main.

I got a 49 disc priest i started leveling a few days ago. Won’t turn in to my main but finding it quite fun to play

I’m annoyed feral druids suck at damage and have the most complex rotation in the whole game

No other class forces you to be behind boss, watch and time all your buffs debuffs ahead of time, switch to bearform to squeeze in a little of damage, be behind boss, run out of boss to charge back in, buff tank with thorns , do horrible damage vs any other class

SW:Death is. Pain has to tick first.

That’s really weird. I know that’s what the tooltip implies, but I still get all the tags with it when there’s tons of competition around.

shadow word death worked for me, even shadow word pain can take a second for its first tick to tag them, but death does it immediately

For sure Death does of course. The cooldown sucks though. Same with penance.

Are you really going to make every single thread about your personal gripe? Grow up.

I’m fairly certain that DoTs tag as soon as they’re applied even if they haven’t ticked yet.

holy crap I forgot cata classic was still a thing. You guys alright in there? Do we need to send help yet?

I have a /target with SW:Pain and frequently even when I hit first, if someone hits it before it ticks, I lose the tag. Same with DP.

SW:Death and Mind Spike work okay. If I get desperate I’ll target the player who is tagging my targets and use Sear. That leaves us open to hostility but if necessary, it gets the job done lol.

Nope. It will taunt to you but if someone tags it before the tick you’ve lost the tag.

I just logged into my lock on my 2nd account and put bane of doom (which takes 15 seconds to do damage) on a target I had targeted on my mage, and my lock got the tag with the mob at 100% hp. I don’t remember exactly when this became a thing but it has been for a while.

Apparently SW: Death isn’t enough for the tag either. Explain that one!

SW:D does damage instantly. It definitely tags O.o

If it doesn’t that’s a bug. Because even dots tag now, as I just tested.

I repeat, I’m annoyed. Yesterday during dailies I was hitting with SW:Death and still having my tag stolen after the fact. Mind Spike seems to be the only thing that works for me.

I’m pleased to hear that your priest has superpowers though. We should all aspire to you!

Could be worse. It could be sod lol

I don’t know what to tell you, I applied a DoT on my warlock and instantly had the tag while the mob was at 100% hp. I was looking at the same mob on my mage. It was greyed out at 100% hp.

In all honesty, I’ve identified what’;s actually behind my feelings of annoyance. I’m just feeling very unhappy with my Disc Priest life in Cataclysm. I’m tired of feeling frustrated so much so that I think it’s time to quit the game… and further validating this point is something that my GM said in Discord just kinda sealed it for me. “Serious chars only”

The fact that I can go from pink/orange logs to an immediate gray/green parser leaves me feeling like :poop:. That I can raid an entire patch without a single heal trinket dropping… It’s not just what the GM said, it’s the idea that I can say out loud, “I think Blizzard just hates me” and people in the guild agree… I’m STILL wearing valor gear and have never seen the most commonly dropped trinkets in the game. I’ve never felt so punished, and after I spent SO MUCH MONEY boosting chars and chasing realm populations. Yep, down on me for spending money, I get it.

I’m being excluded and NO ONE likes to feel excluded.

So going into a tagging situation with low morale based on outside factors,is affecting my attitude. It’s carrying on to other aspects of the game for me. I feel deflated. I feel Blizzards RNG is unjust. I feel Blizzard eliminated me from competitive raiding and I’m feeling very excluded, further compounding my dissatisfaction.

I have 3 weeks left of my sub. Getting the trinkets and every other piece of heal gear that I’ve never seen drop but every other healer has equipped, at this stage of the game would be too little too late.

My life outside this game is a billion times more rewarding. Why bother playing a game that leaves me feeling deflated, excluded, and beneath other players?

edit …and for the players who want to pick me apart for saying this, my FEELINGS won’t be changed, it will only add to the feelings of frustration and deflation.

another edit …I’m outgrowing the game. I feel at this point, I’m too good for this. If I want to be deflated and frustrated, I’ll return some day.

and yet one more edit …In seeing just how many views this post has had in the last 5 days leaves me wondering just how relatable the subject line is for so many players.
