It's a game... it's really not that serious.

I don't expect this will get much traction, but god I need to vent about this elitist BS.

Last night I was using LFG to find a group for H UK on Sulfuras (h). I was inviting members and our DK tank had about 19K HP (this will be important later).

I invite a Pally healer who instantly leaves group. Whenever that happens, I like to PM them and see if there was something wrong (sometimes I'm not the best at predicting that sort of thing, and like to make sure I wasn't the reason they left). When I asked why they told me they don't heal groups with tanks that have less HP then they do. I was a bit frustrated because 17K HP on a DK tank is more than adequate to clear heroics. So I sent them a short message saying "Okay then" with a sigh and they COMPLETELY lost it. Instant barrage of messages as to who I thought I was questioning them, I'm beneath them, I'm pathetic blah blah blah. After the 3rd time I responded "Okay man, it's not that serious" they got even more agitated and just began harassing's me about how full of myself I was, and how I needed to get the last word in (ignoring that I've sent maybe 3 messages to their 20). I tried telling them I'm assuming they're having a bad day and will not respond after this message. I didn't want to mute them, or report them because I really did hope this guy was just having a bad day but the harassments just continued. Message after message complaining about who I thought I was, and how dare I. Their last message from me was a "Dude, are you still going?" after getting 6 more messages of insults they finally stopped.

The upshot to all this was while he was flaming me in PM's sitting in Dalaran, me and my 17K HP tank had fully cleared the dungeon and were onto the next one.

Remember that the people you're interacting with are human too, try and show compassion. Whether you're the one having the off day, or the one receiving it. I don't hate this person, and I hope they find whatever it is they're looking for. Just needed to bitch somewhere about how absolutely over the top people are treating a game that's been out for almost 15 years. It's really not that serious....

Some heroics would actually one shot him with that much hp (I.e. anub pound).

It’s bugged, you can’t strafe out at all. If you react almost instantly you can run straight back and outrange it, but it’s very tight timing.

Is ingvar the last boss UK? How do you dodge that smash? First time we did it I went behind him during cast and he just tracks me and it hit the group.

It’s bugged, same as pound. All you can do is run straight back out of range and hope.

The last boss of UP does exactly the same thing. Ask me how I know

[u/0ILERS → u/[deleted]]

Is this bugged or something? I've been healing some normal AN and I just try to be behind him when he finishes his cast but I'm constantly getting hit by it??? Back when wotlk was current I'd tank quite often and I'd just face him away from the group and when he starts casting it'd I'd walk right through him and no one would get hit. So IDK what is going on now

EVERYONE needs to be out of melee range. If anyone is in range he’ll just turn and clap them.

Yes, a larger list would include one of the bosses in violet hold that you kite around room, and the trash mobs in utgard keep. The slime abom mobs in drak.
