You know, for as much as I adored raiding in BC, I loathed the dungeons. Hated them. There is not a single instance in Burning Crusade that I genuinely LOVED.<\/p>\n
I hated heroics with a passion. If I was asked in guild to heal a heroic, I would laugh, as would most others who knew me.<\/p>\n
After healing my way on my disc priest through Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Slave Pens and Underbog, it dawned on me; I have absolutely no desire to level through Auchindoun instances. None. I don’t want to go back and level through Hellfire or Zangarmarsh or Terokkar to get quests. God forbid I even consider Blade’s Edge or Netherstorm!<\/p>\n
In the entirety of Burning Crusade, there was one zone I loved and that was Nagrand. I don’t even like all the stupid quests there, but it’s beautiful and peaceful and I know it like the back of my hand.<\/p>\n
Combine my distaste for BC content with the UTTER FAILURE that is RAMPANT on this stupid battlegroup and you have a cranky Kurn. Seriously, tanks who don’t know how to hold threat on TWO targets at once, who don’t know what gear to wear (pally “tanks”, specced prot, wearing all holy stuff), tanks who don’t know what abilities to use (Devastate never occurred to one warrior “tank” I had) and tanks who don’t know the first thing about pulling.<\/p>\n
There I am, in Slave Pens, about to pull the first boss. Everyone, EVERYONE knows that you wait for him to pat up the ramp and then range pull, right?<\/p>\n
Wrong.<\/p>\n
The DK “tank” I had pulled him while he was visiting with the mobs at the bottom of the ramp. So we got the whole group.<\/p>\n
Only through exquisite, leet healz did we live. I used Pain Suppression, Prayer of Healing, Inner Focus, took a mana potion… and you know who was killing the totems when it was clear NO ONE ELSE WAS? That’s right. I was.<\/p>\n
After the fight, I was like “Why on earth would you pull the entire group?”<\/p>\n
“mistake,” came the reply from the tank, followed by “gotta go”.<\/p>\n
I left the group immediately and said to myself, aloud, “Fuck this.”<\/p>\n
So I respecced my priest shadow (no, I haven’t dropped a grand on dual spec yet) and have decided to quest through most of Nagrand until I’m at about level 68, and then SEEYA OUTLANDS, hello Northrend!<\/p>\n
The trouble here is I hate being shadow. :P I don’t really know the rotation or whatever, but it feels like I have no abilities! Shadow Word: Pain and Devouring Plague go up, then Mind Blast, then Mind Flay and finish off if need be with Shadow Word: Death? Too easy, too boring, too dull. Shadowfiend at 66 and POM at 70 and that’s about all I’m looking forward to. ETA:<\/em> Okay, interesting what they’ve done with Vampiric Touch and Vampiric Embrace. SW:P, DP, VT, MB, MF?<\/p>\n I would pay $25 in real money to Blizzard if it meant that I would be able to start a toon at 68.<\/p>\n I would pay another $25 in real money to have an unlimited ignore list. :P<\/p>\n Off to Nesingwary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You know, for as much as I adored raiding in BC, I loathed the dungeons.
