A Hunter's Story

Last night was not nearly as crazy as the night before. We did have a real winner though! Did a pug since all we needed was a tank (I was healing on my druid). It was a warrior with over 40k health, so I figured we should be pretty set. Except the first thing that made me wonder, was when I asked if we were going to tank it around the corner, and he said no, to stay right in the entrance area – he has own methods. So I say ok, thinking it was a bad idea. But whatever, if that’s how he likes to tank it, I’m happy to try it. So we start pulling the trash and he seems to be doing fine with pulling them off of everyone, so I begin to think that maybe he does have a good method. Until they all come after me and within 2 hits I am dead. Use soulstone, pop back up and continue healing. Happens again, we wipe, the instant he’s dead he leaves party.

He actually left so quick, I have to wonder – is there an auto-release addon if your party doesn’t meet your expectations? I mean, he didn’t say anything, he just left as if him dieing was an auto-release. Wth? Jerk. I mean, I know I’m not the best of healers, but I’d like to think I’m decent. And as long as the mobs aren’t hitting me, I’d like to think I’m at least pretty good.

So then we had a DK PuG tank come in, first question (upon seeing the corpses on the ground) was “how bad is it?” Don’t remember the exact wording, but it was just her getting a feel for how many tries, where we were, etc. In all she turned out fine – we only wiped about twice the whole dungeon, but we did complete it. Not to mention, I can still say that I have never successfully completed that front room unless we were tanking in one of the side alcoves. Not that I’m not open to trying it in the entrance area – just that we’ve successfully done it many times in the side alcoves. It also makes me a little smug toward the first pug tank… We didn’t get the timed achievement, but we did take down the final wall in under the required 6 minutes. Oh well. Got some new gear for pretty much everyone, and got through HoR. Yay!
