Disc and Paladins

The one thing I forgot to mention yesterday I was thinking about this morning was my heroic Old kingdom run. We had a fairly well geared group except for the newbie Hunter. We got almost to the first boss, and the Paladin says to me, “are you disc?”. Answering, “uh yes, can’t you see all the bubbles?”. He told me he didn’t notice and then proceeds to complain about the fact since I’m not healing him (because he is almost never taking damage) he keeps running out of mana. So I didn’t really say anything but he continued to complain a little after we killed the first boss. He told me that Disc excels in Raids, not 5 mans… I asked him if he wanted me to try and stop protecting him and let him take damage and he said no it was fine
I laughed because it actually would be really hard, part of the reason I couldn’t play Holy is I do so much instinctively. I told him that I was great in all situations, noted by the simple fact no one is taking damage
Thinking about it later I couldn’t remember any Paladin ever complaining about it before. I’m guess that maybe I always end up with someone that does replenishment in my Paladin tanked groups? We only had that Hunter, Elemental Shaman, and a Rogue. I’m guessing the hunter wasn’t speced for it. Seems odd though, or maybe he was just a particularly whinny Paladin
The other funny thing was on the last boss, the one that makes the copies of you. We lost the Hunter and Elemental Shaman during the phasing. The hunter releases for some reason and comes back in the instance that causes the boss to bug out. He died on the way back too. When we finally start again we have to instruct him not to release. They both die again on our second attempt but we finish the boss anyways. Then we go kill the rest of the bosses because the Hunter had never been here before and wanted the achievement
Despite all that I still had a good time. It is kind of neat to still see new people joining World of Warcraft. I don’t mind helping out people who want to learn. Really looking forward to those new 5 mans still. Come on and hurry up 3.3! I haven’t had a chance to make it on the PTR still. It is so late in the game now I might just wait for the surprise on live

I think you had a whinny paladin. I have only had a handful of pallies complain about mana in the 5 or so years of my being disc.
