I R Melee Huntar
Posted by ILikeBubbles on March 9, 2010
During a chain of heroics, my armor widget thingey that tells me how broken I am must have wigged out. It showed 75%, but during a trash pull in H Nexus my crossbow…broke.
Because we were in that part of Nexus with the silly little flowers, we were almost always in combat and I couldn’t get out to repair. Since it was “just a heroic” and several of the others were guildies, I decided to melee DPS the boss.
I flipped on Aspect of the Beast, went ahead an used Red Pet and Kill Shot as usual and whaled away with my pole arm…
…and still did over 1k DPS and beat a DK in the group.
Now to be fair to the DK, he was not really “fail”, merely brushing off a neglected, undergeared toon. It did however provide a bit of amusement in my day.
And yes, I repaired and ceased to suck after that boss.

I was running 76 my hunter to help some lower level guildies through normal Nexus.
We’re fighting Keristraza, and things go pear-shaped. Tank gets bitten by the RNG and goes down just as I’m unloading some high-threat shots on K. Boss at 1% orients on me and charges. I pop Volley, Kill Command, Bestial Wrath…and close with my polearm.
Keristraza and I kill each other in the same hit. It was epic.

My DK did 950DPS at lvl 70 in Nexus.. wtf is he wearing and what fail rotation is he using to be doing < 1500dps? The dots should be covering that for him with a golden retriever at the keyboard.
Epic duel w/ Big-K, I can only imagine what sounds were heard as you killed her with your dying blow. Screenshot plz? =)

Back when we were working on Anub-10-Hardmode, a Hunter made the same mistake. However, he’s a Hunter with a great deal of dignity, and felt it better to die with honour than stoop to melee combat.
Needless to say, we didn’t kill Anub that attempt :p
Equally needless to say, we haven’t let him forget it, either.

I’ve just brushed off my pally, in naxx gear, raid healed Toravon and switched to ret.
I’m wondering why i’m going through so much mana, have fail dps and since when did judgements not have a cooldown… turns out i was chain casting seal of wisdom.
