Not sure if you know this or not…a lot of people don’t… there are four pulls in the room with the first boss of AN. Three of the four have a mob in the group called a “Skirmisher”. The skirmishers will drop aggro suddenly, enrage, and dart for the furthest player (usually the healer) and become untauntable for something like 10 seconds.

I wrongly blamed the tank (in my head, not out loud) in my group when I died to one of those bad boys before learning about them. My advice is to always be sure to mark them with a skull and ask the group to focus them down. They ARE vulnerable to stuns, so if the party DPS isn’t through the roof you can always stun it before/while it drops aggro from the tank.

Of course this is no excuse for the healer in your group to have acted like a sissy. Sometimes a wipe is nobody’s fault, and sometimes it’s everyone’s fault. Yelling at and offending people isn’t a great way to make the run more fun or any quicker.

It’s still just a video game.

And sorry if my comment seemed snippy, I was in a bad mood because of a bad experience with a priest. I was running heroic AN for the first time (I’m a rogue), and on the first boss the priest healer went down, soon followed by one of the other DPS (mage I think)

He started flipping out, complaining about how unlucky he was to get 3 horrible DPS on the run and how we should all just leave. So I did.

I was thinking about the saying “If the healer dies, it’s the tank’s fault.” But this guy was nonstop complaining for about 5 minutes

Ruined my mood and after jumping into another heroic just to get my Badges of Frost, I stopped playing for the day

I use to constantly offer strategies for all bosses in heroics, but after awhile people out-geared heroics so much that they just ignored me and now they do what they want.

Normally I’d be happy to hang in there with a party and work through some wipes. But in this case there are players who are refusing to buff, and who are arguing over who can win a duel. Meanwhile, we’re wiping.

Did you tell people some strategies for the bosses? Did you tell them to move and not just sit and “nuke”?

If you did and they ignored you, then I support you dropping them

But if you didn’t say anything and just let it continue, then it’s just as much your fault as theirs.
