Personal Drama

The only thing notable to chat about from last night's WoWing was a little spat I got in with some dude I was in a Headless Horseman group with. He started out being very cool (much cooler than the rest of the tools in the group), but when we wiped, he started bitching about how the healer (me) had messed up and not healed people when he should have.

Now, I'm always willing to admit when I've made a mistake. In this case, however, I got aggroed by some random wandering ghosts in the middle of the fight. One thing you have to know about priests...when they start getting wacked by multiple mobs, it gets pretty much impossible to heal, since each hit has a high chance of interrupting any casting. In order to remedy this, I generally Fade to take the aggro off me. It didn't work (since no one else had any aggro on these particular mobs). So, the next line of defense is to cast a shield on myself (please note that while this is happening, I'm not healing anyone and I'm using up mana). This will work for a while, and it did. However, my mana was drained enough that when the whole group started taking damage, I no longer had the mana for spot heals. A quick shadowfiend starts to remedy this, but it takes some time to kick in. While I was gaining enough mana to start spot-healing, the whiner died and the rest of the group unfortunately followed quickly thereafter.

At any rate, it was one of those things that happen that can't necessarily be prepared for and wipes do happen (the HH is not a trivial fight unless your group has uber DPS). But, pointing the finger at me as the cause of the wipe is not productive and frankly it pissed me off, so I chewed him out for it. One thing led to another, I dropped group and eventually ended on his ignore list after I told him to f*** off and die. :)

Now, I know I shouldn't have let him get to me (other guildies have said he's a known Ninja, so he's just really an ass in general), but when someone's knee-jerk reaction on a wipe is to blame the healer, it just really gets under my skin and I have a hard time not defending myself.

The only other things I did last night were to do my daily quests and to chat with Decayed about the guild meeting and the people who left. Sounds like group 2 might get started up again next week.
