I’ve been having a blast lately.
For some reason on the runs I’ve been doing, usually when something good drops, I lose the roll. Lets see, five Travelers Backpack dropped yesterday, before yesterday another Pumpkin Bag dropped in Dire Maul (North) and, last, but not least, a Krol Blade dropped in Upper Blackrock Spire two days ago. Kroll Blade can sell for around 600g or so (maybe more?). Yeah, I lost on all of ‘em, and for some reason most greeds I lose too… But, eventually my luck will change (hopefully! I need to get my druid an epic mount).
A few days ago someone was doing the quest the Order Must Be Restored, which is also known as the part in which you have to kill Blightcaller. Nathanos Blightcaller, for those that don’t know, is a NPC located in Eastern Plaguelands. More like an elite NPC, he summons skeletons when he’s being hit (bunch of them), and also has two elite dogs. That’s not the hard part, at all: Blightcaller is also “horde” sided, which means that horde can stand besides him and he won’t do anything at all, he also gives them quests. The last time I tried this quest, with my rogue, we tried to “crowd control” the skeletons, that didn’t work too well, we also had a bunch of horde messing with the quest.
This time, tho, was different. I heard a while ago that the trick with this quest was just to get nutts and do pure DPS on him. No strategy, no tactics.
And we got him! There weren’t horde there so that helped a lot. I was very amazed of how fast he dropped. The raid had like 25 or so people, and only two died during the fight.
Lets go now to the reason of the title of this entry. For a long time I’ve been getting upset, and sad, that even when I’m inside a raid, people don’t consider druids as healers. It’s kinda common to listen “we need another priest, we don’t have healers”, while I’m in the group. Sometimes I get pissed off. For the non-believers, yesterday we were in a Baron run. Just before the boss, something dropped and I called need on it. The priest, called Hempy, wanted to use need too. Hempy got two needs and a set before that, while I didn’t get anything at all at that point. The sad thing was that Hempy didn’t want to give me a break or a chance, and becase the raid agreed that it was fair that I could get the need, the priest got pissed and left (OH NOES, PRIEST LEFT, WE GONNA DIEE!!!).
Believe it or not, we did Baron with 9 members, and only a druid as main healer
Absolutely no deaths at all.
When I asked for a Healing Done meter
Later on, last night, I was on another run, Stratholme, Scarlet Monastery Side. There were two priests, one had like four epics, the other one was… kinda busy thinking if he was going to reroll horde again… lol!! The same person that was busy thinking about rerolling also said, at the beginning of the run, that I had to go DPS because it was “common sense” that with two priests, another healer wouldn’t be needed at all. So
WTFPWND! By the way, the person that was too busy with the rerolling thing (has been horde, then alliance, rinse and repeat) is #3…
I could also upgrade on that run!
The whole point of this is: don’t overestimate druids, we might not have instant healing spells like priests, but we got our own stuff. I know very good priests, but then, there are also other priests that believe that they are the best and everything else is not worthy at all.
OMGWTFLAZRBEAMPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW!
- if you get a group together in your guild, you should try that for yourself
