Share Your Biggest Noob Moment

Out of all your time in wow, what is one time that you made an uber goof? Like the title says your biggest noob move that made you feel like total fool. Hoping no one saw? Maybe you still to this day cant believe you did it; but you did.

For me it was in Legion. I started playing a Demon Hunter like many folks non stop. So I went to double jump and glide off a cliff. Problem is I was on my Warlock
:scream:

Before you ask? No I was not Sharded. It was my first time not being on a Demon Hunter in over a month. It was bound to happen.

I wiped a group of friends I’ve played with for a Ghost Iron Node in Heroic Shado-Pan Monastery when it was CC.

It was worth it.

I rolled need on the hydrocane.



I did not need it.

Playing my Holy Priest back in 2005 and not using wands while levelling till I reached level 60.

Didn’t realise I could use them when I ran out of mana :roll_eyes:

In Cata I queued for a Deadmines run on my prot pally tank. Except I forgot to visit the class trainer to learn my taunt and threat abilities. So I was about as useful as a wet carrot.

I realized this shortly into the run when mobs went everywhere. So I tele’d out, spawned in Goldshire, flew to SW, and ran all the way to the cathedral to find a damned trainer. Meanwhile, the group carried on and took down half the dungeon without me. Didn’t kick me. I don’t even know why I left to get those abilities.

They were mostly silent, just a quick “wtf?” in response to me explaining what I was doing. But their quiet judgment burned, I felt like a complete idiot. I don’t miss class trainers. :sweat_smile:

The first time I saw the Time Lost Proto Drake had no idea what it dropped so I went about my business.

Yeah I was spending some time in MOP and flying around then I stopped on top of a hill to sell some stuff on my vendor then I jumped with the mount down to the depth thinking it could fly :grin:. Fortunately heroic leap found a path and I was saved.

But this made me faceplam so hard that Captain Picard would be proud :sunglasses:

recently? not returning the orb to the spear on the Devos fight
felt like i was sitting there for 10 seconds wondering why the dps weren’t picking up the spear lol
was holding it the entire time, but just outside the zone

literally made time with like 3 seconds left :grimacing: woops

Pretty recent actually.

Ner’zhul.

I was getting tired.

And out of habit I saw a debuff on someone and dispelled it.

And threw half the raid off the edge . . .

This was at least the 3rd/4rth time I’ve killed him so I definitely knew better too.

Getting sucked back into end game raiding when I left it for real life responsibilities and playing for personal enjoyment.

It’s literally the same dog and pony show every expansion. Try hards just ruin the fun factor.

This is like being asked which star in the sky is the twinkliest. I don’t have a noob moment, I have a noob universe. :woman_shrugging:

Most recent one was on my BE Blood Death Knight. A sword dropped in Korthia that finally had the proper stats on it, so I blew a bunch of research to get it up to 220, deathgated to Ebon Hold to put a rune on it, then hearthed back to Bastion, took the portal to Oribos and went to the transmog vendor. It wouldn’t let me transmog it to the Demonslayer she always wears.

It was a one hander. :woman_facepalming:

Did you really have no story to share? So what are you looking for self importance? Why make a comment like this? You make this edgy negative comment towards the game? There are more threads than I can count for this type of hogwash. We dont need it here.

My very first trick or treating in game - got turned into a bat and then gleefully flew off of Outlands and fell to my death in the Twisting Nether.

Also, Shadowstepping Magmaw.

Mine was Dragon Soul on Ultraxion ,the raid was prepping for the first pull when that stupid wand of mine went off,yeah,to my embarrassment I wiped the raid , I had to apologized over and over . :disappointed:

That was my story. I apologize if it triggered you.

No it wasnt. This was not some boneheaded move you made in the game that made you feel like a noob. That was an obvious trolling edgy comment and you know it. This is a positive thread. We dont need this edgy crap here. We really dont. As I said there are enough of those threads out there for you to go comment on.

Bottom line? This is meant to be a friendly thread. No edgy trolling responses like “The day I resubbed”. Plenty of threads for that type of thing. Don’t try to make this into one. Thanks!

Yeah no. You could have just been an adult and ignored it if it didn’t align with your opinions.

My first time in Sholazar Basin on my hunter I saw a named cat with a silver dragon around its name so I assumed it dropped good loot and went ahead and killed it.

Now I know Loquenak doesn’t drop anything.

I did the same when they introduced the lightning fox in duskwood I think? Some hunter swooped down and lost their minds. I felt so bad.
