Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

Today I managed to do something I’ve never done before.  I got into a PUG raid where they DIDN’T take too many healers.  I did a 10 man Obsidian Sanctum because I knew again I would miss the guild one Sunday (middle of the day).  I was shocked when I realized that the only other healer was a restro Druid.  I actually got to do something and make a meaningful impact!  With 3 healers in a 10 man you are almost fighting over who gets to heal the people.  I don’t understand why people do that, it just makes everything go slower, it doesn’t make it safer   It was the first raid I’ve done in WOTLK where I felt I contributed something if you can believe it or not.

I don’t know what the optimal fun number of healers would be for a 25 man, maybe 3? 4 tops probably.  I think every 25 man I’ve done has had 5 healers.  It is always too many and again I feel worthless.  Mostly because everyone has tools to often get to everyone before me.  I don’t have much raid healing ability at the moment besides PoM.  The Shamans, Druids or Holy Priests get to everything before me.  Most of the time I give up and just do crappy dps till we get to a boss I can be somewhat useful on.  With less healers I actually get to do something and it becomes more fulfilling, and challenging.

After that satisfying run I went and did my oracle dailies and ended up watching LFG looking for my 25 man vault.  That never ended up coming but I figured I wanted to do something else so I checked the Heroic Daily was Azjol-Nerub.  So I checked out LFG and noticed a Prot Warrior sitting in there and just asked him if he wanted to start a group.

He was all over it and we quickly formed a group and went over there.  Everyone turned out to be pretty good quality and we had no problems.  No one died till the very end where the Feral Druid got caught in the pound.  Other than that it was super smooth.  A good way to end the night!
