That’s not the ride I was hoping for
Posted by Jasra in Family, Priest, dramatis guildae
A vacancy has opened up in our raiding rotation that we could ill afford to have. Our K2 lead tankadin1 got frustrated with perceived slights against his priest, and killed it off completely, claiming “all anyone wants from him is to drag other toons through Kara to get them geared.” Well phooey. Naturally, he didn’t share any of his feelings with anyone else prior to this happening. And he waited until two officers were on before doing the deed, even though he said nothing it was obvious he was looking to make a point.
Probably not the point he was trying to make, though.
As a result, Clan Grimmtooth is ceasing all operations not related to leveling myself to 70, including raiding, except those times that I need to rest. I will step up and replace the dead priest. And I will rub his nose in it at every opportunity.
We’re seriously annoyed over here. We hate drama queens. He wants to go off and feel sorry for himself, fine. My recommendation to the guild is that we pick up and move on. No special accommodation. We do not negotiate with terrorists.
/sigh
Right now, I’m Shadow spec, and will be until I hit 60 (should be tonight if all goes well). I had planned to go to Holy after this, but some people2 are giving me advice to stick to shadow. My counter is that I need the practice healing in the instances along the way. Said person figures I can be a cooky cutter of his priest and not have to actually know what I’m doing. Furbolgs! I can do better than that.
I will, however, do research on this. That never hurts.

Might I suggest http://www.plusheal.com? it’s a great place to learn about healing basics from people who have been there before – without all the technical and high end raiding focus that you get at places like Elitist Jerks.
The priest forum is great, Matt and Wyn and MANY of the priests there are wonderful teachers, AND theres information on gear lists, instance tips and tricks, and other fun things
Good luck with your priest too! I love healing with my priest, it’s a fun class with lots of toys!
Nice site! Thanks for the pointer, and the well-wishes. The Meta has been all pew-pew so far, so this is truly breaking new ground for me.
