A triumph in LFD

I’ve been queuing up for Heroic Zul’Gurub, Stonecore and Vortex Pinnacle as DPS for slightly over 2 months in a bid to attain the coveted mounts. I also queue for normal Stonecore and Vortex Pinnacle. Someone as geared as myself would understandably pull off poor 82s on the first hit so I tend to go to normal instances in my hybrid tank spec with my PVP gears.

Once, I got into heroic Stonecore with a very rude tank who immediately started calling us a ‘shit group’ after the first pack despite the fact no one had died or done anything stupid. The tank (who was embarrassingly enough from my realm) continued his spat of verbal abuse throughout the dungeon. At some point I told the group that I simply wasn’t with the knave so please don’t lump us together. We tolerated the tank’s behaviour until the healer accidentally wandered too near a side pack and pulled it. The tank refused to taunt off the healer till a long while later. After we downed the pack, this exchange happened.

Tank: I wanted to wait till you died before taunting.
Me: Then I would have taunted off the healer because I am in tank spec.
Healer: Hah!
Tank: You go tank the boss then.
Me: Sure.

I immediately pulled the boss without waiting for the tank to switch specs to DPS. The boss went down without incident despite us being 1 DPS short. After the boss died:

Tank: … damn
Me: Heh.
Healer: This is a classic case of good triumphs over evil!

So don’t put yourself on some high pedestal, tanks.
