I. Hate. WoW.

Here comes the RAGE in Naissa's Rage.

So last week at some point I was at around 1715 rating on my warlock. Give or take. May have been 1716. Doesn't matter. Was going to get my hat this tuesday. Was pretty excited about that, but instead of doing the sensible thing (Hang on to our rating in 2s, and then get our weekly points through 3s or 5s) we decided that we'd play 2s. So by tuesday we were 1650ish. Then we decided to play some more tonight.

Now we're in the 1620s I think. Go team us.

You know whats really fun? When your arena partner never stops acting like a giant tool! Prior to arenaing with him I thought he maybe had a clue how to play. I'm of the opinion that if you don't know something about something, you should probably shut the fuck up about it. He doesn't know anything about locks, or at least he doesn't know much. So what does he do? He sits there and shouts orders at me. "Dispel this" "silence that" regardless of if I've just silenced or dispelled something and they're on cooldown. Apparently I'm supposed to silence every single mana burn when a priest puts Power Infusion on himself and is spamming it. Yeah I can silence one of them, and then he's silenced for a few seconds, but if the person he's burn spamming doesn't move out of the line of sight, he goes right back to it! OMG AMAZING CONCEPT! NOBODY HAS EVER THOUGHT OF IT! Or at least my partner hasn't.

If we're playing the "LOL CHASE THE HUNTER/WARRIOR/WARLOCK and Druid around the pillars LOL" game, I'm expected to keep DoTs on everything, which is not a realistic expectation I don't think, but I try. There are some times though where I've got to make choices which result in DoTs falling off.

Like

Pet is low on health and might not get a heal, do I hope and pray that a heal will land on him while I go around face rolling, or do I heal my damn pet?

I'm at 35% health, I have 0 mana, dots need refreshing. Healer isn't in line of sight, hunter/warrior/whatever is beating on me...Do I lifetap (and fucking die) and reapply 2 dots before dying, or do I wait to get a heal and then lifetap for mana and THEN reapply DoTs? This is a VERY difficult choice imo. Its not common sense at all.

So what happens? Whining and bitching and crying over vent about how I need to get more dots up. (More DoTs more DoTs, -50 DKP!) Or how I need to fear something. Even though I AM fearing something, or trying to, and getting interupted, but then thats my fault too because I'm going to need to fake every single cast. Every one. Always. Flawlessly. Never going to have issues with lag or fight someone thats not a total moron. Ever. Never going to happen. Not a chance. Nope. No sir.

The first week it was ok because we were actually making some progress and it was nice and I figured that we just needed to learn how to work together. Now its just ignorant.

For example: One of the first things I was told was to never put my fel hunter on a shaman because it would just feed it mana. However when I've played with shamans they've all whined about fel hunters. But I trusted my arena partner to know what he was talking about. So I didn't put my fel hunter on shamans. Tonight we lost to a team with a shaman..."Keep your pet on him" ....

....

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh ok.

So we played 9 games and then I got told "Lets take a break for a bit" and I said "Define 'a bit'" and was told "A bit is however long it takes me to learn how to play a warlock so I can teach you."

So evidently I don't know how to play a warlock. Isn't that great? Isn't that WONDERFUL? Wouldn't that just make you want to log in and play with that person? Wouldn't that just make you feel happy inside?

-.-;; I guess in magical happy moron land felhunter spells don't have cooldowns, casts don't get silenced/pushed back, and Locks instantly kill everyone in 5000 yards of them.

Oh and supposedly my felhunter is too squishy. Not much I can do about that. I've got my cookiecutter talent build and...yeah thats it! Thats all I can do. Yay me.

I hate WoW right now.
