pugged a m0 grim batol last night with a group of turbo casual dads (my favorite to pug with) and they randomly invited me to join their private friend discord.
5 minutes into the run the healer asked if he could hearth out to fix is transmog, I dropped down my Ethereal Transmog toy for his fashion emergency and we were off to the races.
the DH disconnects right before the first boss, his hotspot for his laptop disconnected and his wife apparently “hogs the wifi”
all 4 wiped on every boss around 50% health and just cheered me on from the spirit realm while I solo’d the bosses XD erupting after every kill like I just won the race to world first
I’m talking 7+ min butt-clenching, palm sweating kiting between CD’s. after killing a boss, they erupted in cheer and asked me if I needed a smoke break XD
they request that if I stay in their discord server in case they needed another tank. I will forever remember this stressful but hilarious night tanking m0 grim batol.
these rare moments are why I choose to tank pug groups. one wholesome and memorable group mixed in with a sea of bad experiences makes it worth playing this game.
most tanks would get annoyed and drop group at the first sign of experienced players but I encourage you to stick around and remember that it’s just a game… gear is temporary but friendships made are priceless.
