One of our tanks pulled Felmyst right as we had run back from a wipe because his stormchops procced the second he was done eating, while half the raid was still at half health and buffing.

I always ride straight off the Aldor rise on my paladin and bubble on the way down, because it's fun. Except for the one time immediately after I re-specced Ret, when I moved my buttons around. Couldn't find where I put my Divine Shield key, cratered.

Hitting my PvP Trinket on Archimond to avoid Doomfire... err... Do'oh!

This, except I did it once when both my bubbles were on cooldown. I had jumped down, flown to Zangarmarsh, jumped down from there, hearthed back when done, went to jump down... Splat.

I've done this - bubble-hearthed at the end of a raid (all excited about making it out alive), ran off Aldor rise and ouch. Since I usually don't bubble till right at the bottom, I didn't even have time to look for my BoP. Sad thing is, this has happened to me more than once....

After they implemented the feature to see other peoples specs I decided to see how many bad specs I could find. A few minutes at the BG Queue masters and here is what I found:

- 61 point marks hunter. The kicker? No silencing shot.

- Rogue with 3/4/3 in mace/sword/ dagger spec. Main hand dagger, offhand mace. I think he threw spaghetti at his screen to pick his talent points. The spec was THAT bad.

- 56 point frost mage. No icy veins.

Something I did that was pretty epic fail:

While raid leading for our first attempt on Grobbulus, I set aside the "Mutating Injection area". Mutating Injection :Injects a target with a mutagen that creates a poison cloud after 10 sec. When dispelled it clouds the area. It is labeled as a disease. The problem? I set a druid to dispel the Injection... I thought it was a poison. Oops!

We adjusted and killed him shortly after.

Mine's in a similar vein. I use Shift-Z for flight form, bound to Special Action Button 6, rather than a macro. Normally as resto I always have 6 forms, and Flight Form is always the last one, so it worked fine...right up until the day I gave Feral a shot. j=Jumping off Aldor with one form too few, mashing a button that hit a non-existent form and promptly forgetting immediately afterwards, resulted in at least three repair bills.

Also, I don't want to count the number of time's I've died thanks to shifting out midair. Hitting a heal button, trying to combine motes into a Primal, or even just experimenting with how low I can drop before hitting flight form again. Too low, it seems

 

Centuri

Yesterday at the auction house there was a warrior in full season 1 and had <1300 rating arena teams in all brackets. I checked his spec to figure out why he was so terrible. His spec had 43 points into arms...without taking MS. I took pictures.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who, at level 10-15, purchased a stable slot for their fancy new [Parrot Cage (Green Wing Macaw)] that they just got from Deadmines.

Usually when I hearth into scryer rise, I'll hop on my flying mount, run through the little building, out onto the balcony that overlooks scryer bank, and fly down to do my business. I run through it on my flying mount, because if I try to fly through it, it will dismount me. I like the view from the balcony, so I always go this way.


On occasion, I'll find myself falling rapidly, only to realize that I'm on my land mount, and out of light feathers. On another occasion, when running through the balcony, I must have lifted off the ground to early or something, because I auto-dismounted as soon as I cleared the balcony to fall to my death in Lower City.

When dualboxing a prot pally and a lock, and you happen to be rounding up a whole slew of mobs with your pally to consecrate and hold down to let your lock Seed of Corrupt all over the place...

Make sure it's your pally that's doing the running around and gathering up. Not the nice, squishy, lock.

After tanking gurtogg last night, I ran up to the next pack while loot was still being done. Running ahead of healers with 12 stacks hurts ><

 

Alhena

I ran into a shaman in a PuG 5-man, way back when, that had something like 50 points in enhancement. No Unleashed Rage, no Shamanistic Rage. He did, however, have Shield Specialization. Despite having dual wielding, he used a shield and tried to stand in the back and cast. Occasionally he would run up and hit things with his healing hammer.

I can understand how people can miss powerful talents when they're not really aware of the mechanics behind the game, or when they're brand new. But I really don't understand how people can take a talent like dual wielding for shamans, which is cool and flashy and exciting, and then not use it. I knew a frost mage briefly with 61 points in frost and no water elemental, and he said he didn't want to get it. Same thing: it's a cool talent, effectiveness aside. Why wouldn't you get it?

The previous one would be more understandable if it was all elemental and he was meleeing: "There's more than one talent tree?!" has been heard from newer players.

However, the latter one is defensible. If the player had absolutely no idea what the elemental did, or tried it and got hopelessly bogged down in controlling it instead of casting his own spells, I could definitely see how they would consider it a waste of time. What one person sees as a cool talent/ability, another sees as micro-management intensive. I'll never spec for frostbolts because I'll never take a Frost talent that doesn't help Fire spells (pseudo-RP decision), but if I were to change that maxim and spec Frost, I'd almost certainly go something like 40/-/21 to avoid that stupid thing.

 

Shikari

The Frost Talent "Elemental Precision" does help Fire Spells (+3% Spell Hit)

Your posts remind me of some Paladin who isn't that fascinated with World of Warcraft (My guild most likely "forced" her to start with World of Warcraft since we were in need of Paladins (about a year ago), but whatever).
I don't remember exactly, but she had like 25 points in the Retribution tree and went for the Protection tree afterwards.
When I asked her, why exactly she did this, not going for the 41pt talent Crusader Strike, she told me that she didn't have a talent called Crusader Strike and that she didn't need anything anymore in the Retribution tree.

Well, she didn't need anything anymore in the Retribution tree, because she didn't know you can scroll down for more talents!

Whoever did this beat me by 55-60 levels. The first time I stopped by Ogrila, I clicked on some NPC, and started buying the stable slots out before I realized what was going on. What the hell is a stable master doing up there in the first place?! At least they're cheap.

 

Maynard

Here's a new one:

Pulling bosses by casting misdirection, then hitting deterrance, then rocket-bootsing in and raptor striking that bad boy.

 

Karoshi

When doing fishing dailys with my priest I usually dismount 100y over a lake, land in the water, jump up again and cast levitate to stand on the water...
... next time I'll check if I have water walking on me before jumping in (or better "on" ) any lakes... water can be damn solid.

Last night Karazhan, kinda sluggish run through the whole thing. For once we have a hunter with us upon reaching the prince we send him off to misdirect him to the tank. While this is happening I think - hey given that for once I have the chance to test out max range for healing before the pull nice!

Well guess what, turns out the tank was standing a whee bit closer than usual so as soon as the first arrow hits BAM! Doors closed right in front of me. I thus spent the entirety of the prince fight standing stupidly staring at a pair of doors, making sure to keep totems up and using a strategic Bloodlust.

Good thing was that we for once were one healer too many and the other 2 managed to cover for my limited usefulness, still felt really retarded to stand around for 5 minutes staring at a door and then run in and collect my badges.

 

Rapid

Had to share this -

First ever Mag attempt - setting up, tanks for summoners, healing assignments, fight explanation. Summoners aggro, door slams, many "WTF?"s and "Who the *&&*^ was that?"s on voice.
Class leader Warlock..."Err..guys I may have just right clicked a summoner and kinda sorta accdently stabbed him..."
WWS Parse - said Warlock 25 damage. Nothing else.

Last week - regular weekly Gruul / Mag run. Both on farm.
Exact same thing happens. Everyone yelling (in jest) at the same warlock blaming him and waiting for the culprit to own up.
Warlock - "Uhhhm...errr......oh hey! I just found out that my Push-to-talk thumb button on my mouse will click on my hotbar buttons if I mouse over them and hit PTT!"

Upon rebuffing 4 RW's from each assist and the RL "Warlock - do NOT TARGET THE SUMMONERS!"

It's become the guild joke to blame any wipe / mistake / bug / lag / ganking - you name it, on him.

Better question, why can non-hunter classes even use them? Also apparently Infernals can melee things flying 50 yards above them, best accidental Felmyst pull to date.

 

Aneldarr

While in Karazhan i ninja-afk before shade, it was an alt/badge run so i was slacking a bit. They start shade with me runing in, but a split second to early and the door locks me out. We only had 2 healers that run and i was 1 of them. I did take 2 sets of arcanemissiles thoe, so i didnt feel completly useless while runing in and collecting badges...

 

Maax

Our shamans would cast water walking on people in mid air.

Devs: Our nerfs will block out the sun!
Druids: Then we will tank in the shade.

 

thedopefishlives

We have two of those in our guild. One is my fiancee, our guild's lead doomkin. The other is our fire mage and co-class lead. They have two things in common: 1) pretty high DPS for our gear level (mid-T4), which makes them major aggro monkeys; and 2) aggressive, go-get-'em personalities, which often leads to the "Leeroy" syndrome. They routinely bounce around inside instances, pyroblasting/starfiring critters, poking people, and generally being impatient. Occasionally, one of them will get the genius idea to start a pull before I have enough mana to continue the fight. This generally either leads to an epic save by the healers, or a wipe. Combine that with the wipes we've had when one of them pulls aggro - especially when they're hitting a mob I'm NOT targeting and can't consecrate - and you can understand why we've taken to saying everything is "Sam's fault" when something goes hilariously wrong.

Cool kids, cast waterwalking on lurker.
