Look at the time elapsed and damage done by the Priest and Druid.

This reminds me dead-on of an arena match I had last week or the week before. My team, Rogue/Priest, vs the typical Warlock/Druid. We kill their Warlock, and just as the 'lock dies, my Rogue disconnects.

What's left? Holy Priest vs. Resto Druid. You want to see something pathetic? Try watching these two specs actually try to fight each other.

The Resto Druid can go feral, but can't do enough damage to really pressure the Holy Priest's mana. A Renew practically keeps the Priest up just by itself. Eventually the Druid has to drop form to heal up, and can be feared and mana burned down to zero. However, as long as the Druid then keeps moving, the Priest can't kill him - Lifeblooms and Rejuvenations even at near-zero mana can keep the Druid up against the Priest's lame SW:P and SW:D. If the Priest tries to cast anything else, he has to stand still and the Druid gets away to shift, stealth, drink, whatever.

So that's exactly what this Druid and I did for about 20 minutes, until we each realized the other wasn't a dumbass and wouldn't get themselves killed by screwing up. The Druid finally got away and stealthed, and I just stood on the bridge of Blade's Edge arena and waited. Everyone once in a while the Druid would attack me, probably just to see if I was afk or not, and we'd do this lame dance for a minute or two before going our separate ways again.

My Rogue partner made a lvl 1 alt on their server and whispered them. Our basic argument was along the lines of "we won, your Warlock died. Do the right thing and just afk out, you're wasting time." Their argument was "no wai, you leave."

"Okay, but you have no idea what a stubborn ass my Priest partner is..."

An hour and a half later, after a lot of web surfing while WoW was in windowed mode, their Druid quit and we won 14 points. Yay!

What I'd like to know from the above screenshot, is how it finally ended after over 8 hours. The Priest did eventually kill the Druid, but was that from an epic (haha) battle or did the Druid just give up?
