'Sheathbot' is this week's Worst Word of the Week

Posted 08/06/08 at 4:44 PM by Theras
What is with you people and your insistence on giving Paladin builds absolutely ridiculously stupid names? Healadin was bad enough, but now you're calling the Holy/Ret build 'Sheathbot'?

What the hell is wrong with you? Do Hunters that spec into Survival for Expose Weakness call themselves 'Weakbots'? Is your single Mage that specs into Improved Scorch going to call himself a 'Scorchbot' now? Oh, I've got a good one: Restoration Druids that pick up Dreamstate are going to be called 'Dreambots' from now on.

There are two Holy builds: Holy/Prot, and Holy/Ret. Call them as such. And if you want to refer specifically to a Paladin with Sheath of Light, calling him a 'Sheath Paladin' or a 'Sheath Healer' are both about a thousand times better than 'Sheathbot'.

Also, there should be an infraction for using the word 'Sheathbot'.

It's either that or Sheathadin.

I'm thinking of calling 51-pt Holy paladins "Baconadins". What do you think?

Bring some bacon to the raid Sheathbot, I'm hungry.

Oh wait... you didn't like the word Sheathbot. How about Palasheath?

Actually I believe they're called Scorch bitches, not Scorch bots.

"Weakbot" is awesome.

The word comes from "healbot".

I don't like the word either, but it seems to have caught on.


You need to have a single word to replace it, Sheath Healer isn't going to work.

I've decided that I'm calling Holy/Prot Paladins Kingsbots from now on.

I have a one word replacement for Sheathbot - Holy.
Paladin somehow becomes Pally, Retadin, Holydin, Protadin, Tankadin, Healbot, Sheathbot, Sheathadin, and Shockadin.

I will stand out in the crowd. I like that paladins have names for their builds. Not sure why, I just like quirky sub-culture things like that.
