A Study Of N00bs

[fractaled]

When his first comment is telling me (yes, I'm the mage) that I have no idea how to manage aggro, you better believe that I'll take offense.  Quite frankly, I have no need for him to tell me how to do my job. 

i did play a mage up to 47, so i felt i had room to comment... and from my perspective it looked like quark was talking about a mage that felt AoE was the solution to every problem...

And druid healing is more than sufficient, with the proper tactics, to AoE that pull.  The only thing is that healers, upon first encountering that pull, tend to be taken by surprise regarding the amount of sheer healing required, and so I die.

being a druid without nature's swiftness, and being the sole healer, i would give that AoE vs 6 dogs strat a 80% chance of resulting in the mage's death (say 30% with nature's swiftness)... you can bubble, and a druid can preload his HoTs, but you're still going to have about a 4 second gap between the 2nd and 3rd heals that is going to feel awfully long...

Quark's criticism is that druids' mechanism for fixing things that go wrong only works once every 30 minutes.

was it? you obviously know him better than i, but with him saying "again", and that little "whistling" icon it sure seemed to me that he was saying SOMETHING about the mage... (and i wouldn't fault the mage if it was the group's decision to AoE that encounter -- i'd fault the group [and not because of its composition])...
