Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

i hit 30 on my shammy, so i decided to dual spec and try out healing, i let the group know from the get go, we were in SM, after the tank pulled the whole room at once and we cleared with a few heals, they asked me to stop healing and just dps. told them, just trying it out, we were mowing down mobs anyway cuz most were in heirlooms...
so 5 mins later i'm booted, wtf, i qued as a healer, was healing and no one died? was in the wrong?

You grouped and went into an dungeon.
Well, there's your problem.

Were you the only healer?
I am thinking not, and therefore par for the course here we are not getting the whole story, just your version.

What were the other classes in your group? Were they able to keep themselves pretty well healed up?
Chances are they wanted to get through the dungeon faster and thought your DPS would be more helpful than whatever heals you might have been doing (that may not have been completely necessary).
That's not a comment about your healing.
That's a comment about the group's expectation/values.

You were probably with a mostly guild grp. You didn't do what they wanted you to. They didn't need you. They could 4 man it so they booted you. If you Q with only 4 peeps you're gonna get a 5th. Besides, you might have rolled ons omething theyw anted tog et for someone. And you were "just a pug"
More going on the jsut the healing thing. Hard to tell the full story.

Yep, I was in Stonecore Heroic at the first boss and was asked to specifically kill the adds which spawn every 5-10 seconds or so which did, then was chastised and subsequently booted for not pulling enough DPS on the boss.

WoW has a community of fowl bowl movements.
LoTRO is a refreshing change in that regard... generally a friendlier experience.

You know, the good thing is, there are so many people on at a time that when you find agood group you can stick with'em. Don't define your role by one person veiw of your ability.

I totally agree with the group for booting you...
Honestly, who queues the RDF as a healer, with a healing spec, and then has the audacity to heal in the instance?
L2P.

there wasnt another healer, there was a rogue, warrior, mage, and a feral druid...again i was qued as a healer..scarlet monastery,
i know they wanted to go thru it quickly, there was prolly no needs for heals i guess unless it was a boss fight, maybe even not then. its not like i was in a heroic and they were carrying me, it was a stupid lvl 30 dungeon. group didnt wipe, i wasnt dragging them down, they just didnt like seeing me standing there waiting to throw out heals.
i'm a shammy not a priest, if i switch to dpsing spec and uh oh, they need my heals, it wont be able to do it efficiently,
that was in the back of my mind

Totally different story then if you were the only healer. Then I would agree with some of the above that it was a guildie group or they dropped you for a friend because that is pretty stupid to ask the healer not to heal and then drop him for it.

There you go, level 30 shaman + rogue + druid = too much competition for leather, they probably booted you to reduce the competition on loot rolling. Pricks.
