The grass is always greener……

So yesterday I have enlightened you all about my hard role in raids, spamming that big red fireball button. And in the process idealized the role of tanks and healers being a lot more complex. So browsing trough the comments of my last post (multiple comments, and no this wasn’t me posting on another name) Jehu commented that the role of pally’s (healing in general I guess) is playing a game of whack-a-mole on a bunch of moving green bars. Time for some nostalgia.

On a server far, far away a young warlock … aargh RP moment, what I meant to say was the following. Back in the days when Blackwing Lair and Zul’gurub weren’t even released I played a underpowered (can you imagine) warlock. Apart from casting shadow bolts and summoning an imp my role didn’t see that amazing either but hey it was new, it was molten core and little did I knew. Playing together with a priest buddy of mine we loathed the mana bar. Even with (non scaling) lifetap it felt like I was drinking all the time. When we decided to reroll it was a very easy choice, as long as it doesn’t have a friggin mana bar. So our Rogue/Warrior combo was pretty awesome because it ensured us a good tank in every pug run making leveling easier. The raiding game was looking back now pretty fun. Usually Fury dps-ing and sometimes helping a bit with tanking here and there. Being able to switch to 1h/shield and intercept mobs felt pretty good. Like I was doing more then just DPS-ing trying to top meters. Dying of cleave, aoestuns en a gazillion fears made me envious about locks/mages/hunters for standing at far range dpsing without a care in the world. PvP strangely enough was the same, with my at the time sick PvP gear (rank 13 gear with a severance) and a pocket pally it was devastating to mash trough the AV midfield. Of course most of the time when doing the pvp grind your playing solo which seems to be the other side of the coin. Every fight you play you end up half hp, retarded dots ticking and using bandages every 45 seconds. Damn how awesome would it be to make your own water/bread. Not to mention the counter class (frost) mages were of warriors made me envy of them even more. The reroll choice was obvious for a mage. And here I am, whining about the flaws of the claws.

Yup, the grass is always greener at the other class.
