Carhan (Argent Dawn ) So, I was healing a Oxzwvpdy Blackfathom Deeps LFG the other day, and about halfway through this loudmouth Lock that expected me to heal him before the tank when he kept spamming Life Tap (god, I hope I'm not the only wow power leveling one that hates Warlocks with a Magey rage for that...) started hassling me for liking Sci-Fi. Carhan, a very well spoken Warrior from Argent Dawn, proceeded to be the only one to both get my Firefly reference in defense of the genre, and combat the Lock's immature homophobia. Oh, and he took over for the tank when he lit all four torches at once, but that's beside the point. I hope to group with Carhan again sometime soon, he was one of the most enjoyable DPS I've had to heal. With hope, Ornatrix, Arthas (US-H) Ketaari, Junia and Deviladvocat (Doomhammer ) Immediately upon zoning in for the random daily on my 75 mage, one of the three players from Doomhammer says that they're planning on doing "Share the Love". As I was pointing out that the wedding dresses achievement required the heroic, I realized all three Doomhammer players were geared 80s and likely weren't in the normal queue intentionally. I prepared for the worst, expecting to quickly see the three players drop out and having to start over in the DPS queue. However, Ketaari (the healer) said "fk it, smash face boys". Rather than send the two low levels back into the queue, they destroyed the instance for us. Most of the time, the mobs were dead before my meager frostbolts had a chance to land. In under ten minutes, every mob and boss died a quick and painful death. I definitely appreciate their efforts and willingness to help out a couple of lowbies, even if they were just there accidentally! -- Thrillhouse, Arygos (US-A) St?rd?ncer (The Forgotten Coast ) I just experienced a random act of uberness in a random sunken temple on my boomkin, Taldorian on Bladefist. After doing the last required boss of Sunken Temple, I mentioned that I had a quest (A Better Ingredient) for the last boss on the floor below that you have to pull the levers in order. Everyone left.... except the healer St?rd?ncer ( with the sideways : on the As) from Watches rolex the forgotten coast. We then proceeded to stealth past the majority of the trash and I panzerkined the trash near the actual levers with him healing me. After nearly 10 min of extra effort, we finally get to the boss himself. After both of us nearly dying because of his aggro wipe where he tosses the "tank" (me) into the air for a good 10 seconds, we finally downed this monster. Big thanks once again to you, Stardancer. Minor thanks to the devs who randomly gave boomkin form the same armor multiplier as dire bear form. -- Taldorian, Bladefist (US-A) Babydoll, (Baelgun ), Unavaliable (Kalecgos ) My girlfriend and I recently decided to level a couple of druids, T?fu and Brié, through the dungeon finder as a tank/healer combo. One night, while in our low 40s, we received Maraudon - Purple Crystals as our random classic dungeon. I was surprised to see that Blizzard decided to split the dungeon up and, after a bit of research, realized that we only wow gold had to kill Lord Vyletongue to get credit for completing the dungeon. After our group easily handled Vyletongue, I asked if we should proceed to try and kill Princess Theradras and finish the rest of the dungeon even though our part was technically complete and we had all gotten our satchels of helpful goods. The group voted that we proceed and I soon realized why Blizzard split the dungeon up (it had been a couple of years since I had run it). Mobs were hitting very hard and I was having a rough time hitting them, and thus maintaining my threat, due to the fact that some of them were five levels higher than me. Since Babydoll, our Paladin, was dual-specced as Protection and a level higher than myself, she tanked (and did a great job) for a while until I was able to level and resume my role as the tank. We continued on at a much slower pace until, just before fighting Celebras the Cursed, our hunter disconnected. We waited for a few minutes only to find that we could not kick him from the group due to the fact that we had technically "completed" the dungeon and a player may not be removed after a dungeon is complete. We decided to press our luck and, thanks to some remarkable healing, eventually made it to Theradras after what seemed like well over an hour. Shortly after beginning the fight, I realized that I was again having trouble maintaining my threat since I was level 43 and Theradras was 48. The fight was extremely sloppy and challenging due to her AOE damaging knockback and fear mechanics and the fact that I had trouble keeping her focused on me. Unavaliable, our fantastic DPS warrior, made the ultimate sacrifice by pulling aggro on the Princess to keep our healer alive - this bought us Louis Vuitton Bags substantially more time to bring Theradras down to about a fourth of her health. Unfortunately, our healer was killed near the end of the fight as Babydoll and myself were feared, yet somehow the two of us were able to stay alive and take Theradras down. We had successfully completed a dungeon that was of a much higher level that we should have been attempting and we did it with only four people! Babydoll and Unavaliable were very friendly, likable people and very skilled players and the whole experience reminded my why I still love this game. It was simply epic and I can only hope our paths will cross again in the dungeon finder. /salute -- T?fu, , Moonrunner (US-A) Want to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women?
