Cleric Blame just got Funny

[Eladiun]

What difficulty setting were you on? The reason I ask is because that quest is VERY soloable all the way up to Elite.

That quest can be a killer if you don't know it cold. Even if you do without shield clickies it can be a killer.

I was yelled at and called names by a pug cleric for wearing heavy fort robe instead of "real armor".

True story.

[segue]Please tell me more about this heavy fort robe... Is it good for wizards & if so where can i get one[/segue]

[Pwesiela]

OK, fine, you called me out. I admit.

It was my fault. You see, I should have been there. I was on my cleric. I was in game. I was running a quest.

It's my fault that I was 15 (at that point) levels higher than you, in an Abott raid, and on the wrong server.

I'm sorry. I apologize. It won't happen again.

Next time, I'll be in the right party in the right quest on the right server and make sure that EVERYTHING dies.

Even my party.

The closest I ever came to a similar story was when my cleric received a blind invite while soloing. I clicked "Accept", then continued on my merry way.

I got rather involved in the quest I was doing, and so wasn't paying much attention to the party chat. I had to resist the urge to press F2-6 and cast heal as their health bars dropped, but I managed to restrain myself.

I wonder if they were blaming me?

[LunaCee]

A good one was when I was getting low on SP because of a couple sponges on my FvS. I typed into chat because I have no mic, "I'm personally going to be heading for the shrine instead of stopping for any additional optionals because I'm getting close to OOM."

Out of the other five party members consisting of a rogue, a fighter, a barbarian, and two rangers... only the rogue and the fighter paid attention to that. So I go on my merry way to the shrine to charge back up. Suddenly HP bars start dropping followed by several "Ding!" as the three wayward melee get in over their head and fail to extract themselves. Of the three, the barbarian lasted the longest. The two rangers apparently couldn't even wand whip themselves while running around to try to stay alive.

And the funny thing is, the barb says to leave their stones there because they failed to heal him let alone themselves.

[LightSteel]

me : hey there is a trap there.

Rogue : It's ok i have improved evasion.

DING!

me: here's a rez for the laugh

We were running Tempest for GR. I had a tank zerging and running out of the line of sight. I res him about 3 times and he was very proud of been first in kills.

How many hitpoints you have? I asked "200 hp he said" and Why are you zerging? "because I am a fighter"

We enter the boss part and he died almost instantly. I took care of the remaining party and finished the quest.

I res him so he can loot. "'why you did not res me before? and I said "I got a 3 strikes you are out policy"


Everybody laugh and for some reason he left without claiming loot. He had the highest kill count.

Mental note: Do not blame the cleric for my own shortcomings

last night i had an epic moment XDDD

house K, that quest is on the north west corner, dont remember the name right now, the one is for some duergars and fire elementals.

was epic really epic haha at least i save my repair costs of go with such of *ppl*

[Kale_Hagan]

ok guys, this thread is not so much a ***** fest, as it is intended to be for funny stories about "cleric blame". If you have an amusing story about cleric blame, tell us here.

-M

The other day I ran over a homeless guy in my car, and I was all like 'rez pleez'.

[diamabel]

We've all seen it... heck right here on the board it even breaks down to heated discussions over battle-clerics versus healbots... The cleric is often blamed for anything thats gone wrong. Sometimes its because the cleric is not good at healing, sometimes its because the rest of the group is running around stupidly & sometimes its because somebody else is underspecced & they blame the cleric.

Tonight i saw the funniest thing ever. We are running "Clear the Air" but due to low level of clerics willing to PUG anymore, we did it san-healers (not even a bard or a paladin). We all saw this before hand & stocked up on healing potions (though it was pretty much unspoken).

Well about half way through the run (in a place you don't want to get seperated) i can hear one of the players (a player who broke away from the group) swearing down his mic "Will somebody @#$%ing heal me." & "I'm down to one HP... ! @#$%ing cleric not doing his job!" & lastly "DROP THE !@#$$%ING CLERIC, HE'S NOT HEALING" to which i could only laugh & remind the player in question "Dude, we don't HAVE a cleric. Your going to have to heal yourself." Couple of seconds later his character dies & he pulls out & drops group.

The moral of this story is this: If you play a cleric, it is your fault when things beyond your power happen... Even when you are not at fault & couldn't do anything about it, it will still end up being your problem. Just be warned.

Of course it's a cleric's fault. Clerics exist to die for our sins (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ). Next time prepare any cleric to fulfilling the duty by crucifying him/her. ,)

[Xaearth]

I have to say my personal pet peeve is the damned wf that does not carry any healing and seems to have neglected the healer's friend feat chain... I tell all wf, you best be self healing because I see you as a sp dump.

So just remember, like a good waiter, if you have a good healer, leave them a nice tip at the end of the quest. chances are, they will spend it on a wand or some other item to help them help you.

This is my personal pet peeve as well...
I even have it written in my bio.

"If you don't feel like healing a WF barbarian, that's your choice. Just don't expect me to use my multiple stacks of pots to carry your sorry ass through the quest.

Respect my resource usage and I'll respect yours."

Even with that in the bio, dunno how many times I've ran into a "healer" that said they couldn't/wouldn't heal me and expected me to pay for resources they used on other party members.

[Darkrok]

Everyone knows it's always the pure rogue's fault.

[ruinix]

an SP line there remember another last night to XDDD

ataraxia, the duergar mines quest.

we was doing on elite and all goes fine.

1 timy tank donig well and using his shild o.O hehe the rest doing their nukes and goes smooth.

on the last named duergar things goes crazy. the ranger AA dies drowing the aggro from tank and i was trying to heal all around and well i depleted my SP. after the fight just the ranger die and he said.

ranger: plz rezz me now.
I cleric: how it look my blue bar ? r u checked?

he apologize and someone else pick the stone and we all go to the shine. was hillarius.

[Phocas]

I have run a couple of clerics at all levels in lots of pugs so I have heard my share of the complaints, but the best was when a zerging barb kept telling me to stop using mass command because it took all the fun out of running ahead and killing the mobs. Of course when I stopped doing it he ran ahead and died faster than I could heal him.

When you win you are NOBODIES hero, but when you lose you are EVERYBODIES a$$hole.

[cdemeritt]

It is funny at how many people don't even notice there is no healer in group... they just expect there is one.
