WOW (ANOTHER thread by me) battle grounds.

Am I in the wrong here?

I am a 42 shadow priest right?

Well basically, well this guy kept Pm;ing me telling me to be in normal form and heal, and that I wasn't doing enough damage (he was a level 49 warrior).

THREE times I saved someone, but they just ran off and left me to kill the 2 people that were attacking them (TWICE was him).

He continued to moan, then went offline instantly as soon as the match was over, I was 3rd in damage, 3rd overall, 2nd highest in healing. Everyone else was 5 - 7 levels above me.

Am I wrong to go in there and do damage? I use vampritic embrace, so when I hit for a mind blast, shadow word Pain or any move, everyone gets healed.

Sorry if that feels like a bit of a rant, but people confuse me :/

Hes probably about 10. WoW...not known for having a mature playerbase. Just ignore it.

You should play in the way that you want to, when the other guy decides to pay for your account then he can tell you what to do.

Used to get this a lot as a druid too (until the fact that feral druids are actually quite good became widely known), lots of 'zomg FFS n00b y u in bare form, hael me!!1' Warriors and rogues tended to be the worst culprits, mainly because their role often involves little more than jumping in and spamming dps, expecting other people to keep them alive...

/off topic. The amount I have been looking for one weapon now is amazing... I can't believe how long I have been looking for a Staff Of Jordan. I have money ready for it, yet no one on Nagrand seems to be selling

Its got pretty stupid on our server, I bought mine for 120g in march. The other day there were 2 on AH and they were 500g each :confused:

I've been doing a bit of PvP healing on my priest lately. A good healer or two CAN win a PuG BG more than they could playing as dps, no matter how well they do at that role. On the other hand (and more importantly), you're there to play for fun and to play as YOU want to, not how some 12 year old little twonk wants you to. I just laugh at the "HAEL FFS" brigade these days. If I'm feeling particularly mischievous I will whisper them a comment or two designed to irritate the hell out of them.

Am getting pretty damn desperate for it. I will literally pay like 300 gold for it at this rate I think

Why bother, theres no point spending big bucks on gear at mid level as you will gain a few more levels, find something better in an instance run, and it will be obsolete. I would hang onto the cash (unless you don't plan on levelling)

Don't see anything better in auction even at level 50, looking under staves...

Instances is where its at. Between your level and 60 you could get (quick search)

If you want to get something off the AH you could go for something like this in a few levels time:

IMO Staff of jordan might last you well for the next 5, maybe 10 levels, but after that you will start finding better stuff.

From memory it adds +26 damage/healing.

That means about +11 damage on each mindblast
About +4 per tick of (improved) SWP
About +4 per tick of Mindflay

Until you can stack +damage gear it's REALLY not worth spending big bucks on your levelling kit. Save it for an epic mount.

Well, i was farming 'Marks' on my holy priest and the amount of ppl calling you a **** for not healing them is silly. They all seem to forget that there is a range and that i need a line of sight!

it lead me to only heal the people tanking the boss in av tbh

Kipper67 · 1 Aug 2007 at 16:01

Not quite as good but probably easier to get hold of Zum'rah's Vexing Cane

I use a Hypnotic Blade (SM drop) and Umbral Crystal (10-15g AH). Fits the bill perfectly and doesn't break the bank.

/ignore

I get it all the time as a druid even though I'm feral specced, so many times i've been told to l2p etc because I don't heal yet I'm top of the scoreboard for hk's and damage.....

but mainly as mentioned... play for fun!
