honesty
I'll own up to my nub mistakes. I'm a shadow priest and after 20-25 ticks in the blue beam for Netherspite I cast Shadow Word: Death. Critted for ~7k and with the debuff on me, was taking 224% more damage from spells than normal. D'oh! And I know I"m not alone in this one too, I've been pressing the button for SW: D JUST as I've been enfeebled. Why, oh why, couldn't Prince have resisted that one?
Now on to an episode that occurred this weekend in SSC. On the way to Hydross, we were getting ready for one of the 5-pulls and one of the hunters fell off the platform. The pet, being on follow, took the shortest route to it's master which was just in front of the trash. Needless to say the pet was one-shotted. But, because we we're almost ready for the pull, we didn't wipe. Of course, since we were saving our own butts, the hunter bit it. We have a rule in our guild, as I'm sure many others do too, that if you do something stupid, especially at the beginning of an instance, that you have to run back. No rezzes for you!
After the pull, someone made a crack that hunters shouldn't have their pets out. When it was pointed out to him that the hunter in question was Beast Mastery, he apologized and we moved on. A pull or two later someone noticed that the hunter was registering as a ghost on their raid frame. Curious, we asked the hunter what was up. He responded that he had gone to Ironforge to respec Marks.
Not only had the hunter left the raid to respec w/o telling anyone, he had burned his hearth to get to Shatt. From there he went to IF and respecced. Then, he had to spam trade for a port BACK to Shatt and fly back to Coilfang, because we sure as heck weren't gonna send more people out summon him back. So, approximately 30 mins. after misstepping on the way to Hydross (which wasn't that big of a deal), we finally had our hunter back and significantly less respect for him.
