Was this petty of me?

Was running Strat UD on my Rogue when a Leather shoulder piece dropped (Of the monkey) a hunter won the roll and I expressed that he should only roll on mail since it’s what corresponds to his class. Told me hunters can wear leather like druids wear cloth and that he didn’t care about armor he wanted stats.

Then a little bit after a Mail belt dropped (of the monkey) and I won that roll. Afterwards they called me toxic and the group disbanded. I told him he can’t have his cake and eat it to.

Those leather shoulders were an upgrade for me also and I dont think it’s fair I should be limited to leather and he can chose both leather and mail.

Personally I see nothing wrong with that, although he can wear it he should have probably let you have it and waited for mail, I mean Everyone can roll on cloth right? that’s sure not fair to cloth wearers

It was more than petty. You’re being a child. Hunters can wear mail but can also wear leather and armor rating does not matter to them since they will be in the back not getting hit. You can not wear mail so just ninjaing items from the group.

I would have given it over to a rogue. As a hunter, I prefer to wear mail anyway, and will replace leather with mail asap anyway.

It definitely shows that you have a fundamental lack of understanding how stats work in this game and instead of taking an opportunity to improve your understanding you instead choose to be petty.

End of the day the stats matter more than the armor class until you get into later end game and even then there will be some classes that prefer armor of different types. DPS warriors use a ton of leather gear, are you going to start rolling on plate gear because a DPS warrior won a roll on a leather piece?

It’s kinda a sad affair that you made it to the point of running UD Strat and don’t realize any of this.

Well as a melee leather class why do I have to sit back while a ranged mail class can roll on two types of amor and even melee weapons when they prioritize range? If we are gonna respect eachother then let’s do it correctly.

Because that’s how Classic was designed. You’re complaining about 15 year old mechanics that you should have figured out by the time you hit UD Strat.

Then have the common courtesy to learn the basics so you can at least have an informed conversation.

Yes you were petty and acting childish… and yes you don’t understand Classic equipment stats. I probably would have given you the shoulders had I been on my hunter just because that’s the kind of person I am but honestly it doesn’t sound like you deserved them anyway with your attitude.

Yes, you are a child. You literally wasted the mail belt while the hunter is going to use the shoulders just as much as you would have. The fact that you are even asking if this was petty means you are also stupid in addition to being a child.

If someone is going to equip and use a piece of loot that is beneficial to their class. They can roll need on it.

Armor rating is not that important. Stats are.

You can’t wear mail as a rogue. So yeah that was definitely toxic of you. You’d definitely be on my “do not group with” list acting like that. It’s commonplace for classes to wear armor other than the highest armor types they can wear. Warriors wear mail and leather even going into Naxxramas.

you would probably hate me OP since i roll on leather also with my fury warrior. some of the top end leather gear is actually good for fury since hit rating and all and warriors can roll on plate, mail and leather. fury warriors probably piss people off more than hunters do

Sort of, in classic generally you will see boomchickens in cloth spell damage gear and warriors in leather gear like the truestrike shoulders. This is because for dps there armor shouldn’t matter in raids as they shouldn’t be taking melee damage. Classic doesn’t give regular plate and mail gear for dps as much as tbc and wrath and because rogues need the same stats as dps warriors, and dps hunters often times hunters and warriors will roll for leathers in places like zg.

A little bit, I get where he was coming from, but overall he should’ve stuck to his normal mail gear and you stick to your leather gear. That eliminates competition and makes more sense anyways. It would’ve been fine if you weren’t there and didn’t need anything but he sounds like a baby.
What is it with hunters being loot w***s? lmao

Pro tip, don’t play priest. Every other heal class has equal prio on cloth gear.

Petty complaining about someone rolling on an upgrade: yes.

Petty about rolling on BoE you can’t wear (as long as you didn’t roll need): no.

This. This is what has me nervous about playing enhancement shaman in tbc classic. So much leather gear is my pre-raid BiS, and I’m expecting a scenario just like this

Sorry, YTA. Maybe ignorant of Classic mechanics too. Grow up.

You’re the problem. You’re the one that is wrong. You cannot wear mail, and you were just being a douchebag. You don’t get everything that’s an upgrade for you, cupcake. You don’t win every roll.
