Because I am sick to the back teeth of the bloody headless bloody horseman. My druid took one look at the loot tables and announces “screw you too” before writing yet another angry letter to blizzard reminding them that feral druids do exist, oh, and that doesn’t mean we can just wear crappy rogue gear, ok? My Mage looked, sniffed and announced he had better. My shammy went on 2 runs, got all the rings he needed and was happy.
Exceeeept, druid is tank and shammy is healer
Oops: side rant time: To the nice Resto Druid who smugly pointed out how high he was up the healing meter {did I mention how much I hated damage meters and all their ilk?}he was last Karazan. Yes, you were. But I had an Earth Shield on the tank at all times that heals him of 750 health every time he’s hit, a healing stream totem out that heals the whole party of 120 health every 2 seconds {and that’s not including bonus from your tree of life aura) and a stoneskin totem out that reduces all damage taken by 43. And you know what’s fun? I do all this healing without the tiniest blip on any threat generator! The healing meter is baaad at recording these things, but screw the meters. Besides, every time anyone lost so much as a millimetre of health you dropped a lifebloom on them. I have no instant cast heals and I’m not going to drop a lesser healing wave on someone who has lost a small amount of health and has 3 lifeblooms ticking away. Sure I’d climb the meter, but I’d also be wasting mana and overhealing. And while we’re at it, when we’re in the same group as 2 tanks and a rogue and we’re having NO problem healing I’m, going to drop a Grace of Air totem, NOT a Wrath of Air totem to give us more unnecessary healing power, ‘kay thanks. Both tanks having an extra 79 agility will benefit us anyway.
Anyway, as I was saying, I have a tank and a healer in a guild (hells, a server) that lacks both. Which means every fury warrior (in fact, every warrior), rogue, caster et al in the guild has been dragging me along for their uber drops - especially that bloody helmet. After killing him 2 dozen times it grows raaaather tiresome.
And everyone has a debuff saying they’ve been trick-or-treated which I waste hours on in raids trying to cure (it’s instinctive, see debuff, try to dispel) and everyone looks very similar because they’ve all got stupid pumpkin heads and hey, at least the debuffs aren’t wasted because they’re ALL throwing up from damn tricky treats. Oh and every now and then some guildies with the snese of humour of a sick toad on prozac will use a damn costume on me stopping me from fight/healing. The broomsticks are the only saving grace and that’s only because if I’ve got an idiot whizzing over my head and I can always say “I always knew you wanted to sit down on a long firm rod” and watch the spluttering horror. Childish, yes. But sometimes childish is fun.
