Leveling my lock, determined to get her to at least 55 this past weekend..
I had several quests for Sunken Temple, and Zulfarrak, and Maraudon. I get into the dungeon finder with the hope that I can clear these quests out of my bags.
I keep getting Black Rock Depths regardless. But I have no quests for BRD, by the way. You would think Blizzard could come up with a way to put folks in the dungeons they need to run. A simple query to a database for instance:
If (player) has (quest/questitem) and is qued, then give them the needed (dungeon); otherwise (any dungeon)
But I digress. This weekend was a Blackrock Depths Weekend!
1st try: Moonkin tank
What the heck. I’ll give it a whirl – it’s not like we’re running heroics, right? I was curious to see how he was going to hold aggro. And, he politely informed us, it was his first time tanking.
No! Really? I never would have guessed!
He starts off by Typhooning a mob, about 40 come running and we die. So much for holding aggro.
For some reason, the group dissolved….
2nd try: Know it all tank!
Not in the group 5 seconds yet and I get a comment from, not sure who, somebody who stated my demon has a name that is used for Satan!
I’m like Ok and quickly run down the names I know in my head (not that I’m an expert on Satan, mind you) and can’t come up with a clue of what this guy is talking about. Even looked it up later and it’s nowhere I can find. I can live in peace now. It’s not on Google, so it doesn’t exist.
I was informed by the tank that under no circumstances should I use my Hellfire move. Because, according to him, I have no idea what it will do to me.
I’m like, “Um, yea, I’m fully aware of what Hellfire can do, but thanks.” The tank is like “No you don’t!” Apparently he thought I just that minute fell off the turnip truck or something. So I explained to him that when I first got the move, I tested it. Approximately 30 seconds later, there I was dead on the Slaughtered Lamb floor amongst the warlocks. I even did it a second time to prove to an unbelieving warlock that yes, we can in fact whack ourselves. I know what the move can do, and don’t really use it except for emergencies. I decided to use Hellfire every chance I got, happy to know it would make the tank freak.
Otherwise, the tank was ok, even though he was a little bossy. Did his best. But we had a Moonkin in the group who would aggro a bunch of mobs when the tank was trying to kite a bunch across the room and it really didn’t make for a pretty sight. I suspect he was trying to impress us with his hurricane skillz.
3rd try: WW3 and Epics!
After waiting for what seemed like forever after a tank and dps leave, and watching a Shaman tank the trash (hey he did a darn fine job too!), we got another tank and dps which made for 2 hunters in the group. The two hunters started fighting over the epic that *might* drop off a boss before we even got to said boss. The boss did drop the epic and the fight was on. I still don’t know who won – I left the group.
I never did get my bag. But I did get my warlock to 56!
