Quote:So how was it that Vorpil managed to heal himself for so much that my HP report on him suffered an integer underflow reporting his current HP as something like minus several million?That reminds me of a Shadow Lab run I once did where I healed on the Vorpil encounter for 13 straight minutes. We finally wiped because I decided to stop healing out of frustration and to halt the outflow of mana potions that I was chugging.
It was just another one of those reminders that while Blizzard did a great job in TBC of making DPS actually really truly matter (whereas with most of Vanilla up to the end of BWL, it was all about your tanks and healers), it also meant that as an experienced healer, I couldn't just pull a group through anything via just sheer healing force.
I really don't pug much anymore, so I'm short of these great stories. I used to love pugs just for the challenges of healing an unpredictable group, but I just don't feel I have the time to spend an evening wiping to things that anyone with any common sense could defeat. Tal's the exception - he has no common sense, but I enjoy playing with him anyway. :)
