I think I have heard quite enough.

Time to hear how the other side lives, isn’t it?  Miss space goat has gone on and on, at great lengths, about the proper way of priesting, and how it should be done in her perfect world.  Sure, sometimes the monsters don’t play fair and you have to be prepared for contingencies, but those are odd moments of excitement.  I’m sure she secretly gets a thrill when there’s an extra pull, or when a taunt is resisted.  But expecting the worst from a monster is fine when you have a pocket group of ‘friends’ willing to take the brunt of those attacks and work as a cohesive unit day in and day out.

Some of us have more to fear from our compatriots than the beasties we face off against.

Let me tell you how it is on the front lines, far from endgame, and without an established group of minions.

I’m going to be sneaking in here, while the Ego crew is tired and somnolent from their weekend excursions, and slip you some truths from the Horde.  We’ve had to scrape and claw for every bit of dirt we’ve gained, so I think I can say a different viewpoint may be in order.  You deserve a good hard look at what Vonya fears most … pugging.

“Pugging is more trouble than it’s worth!” she’d say.  Aww, sadface.  Some of us don’t get the choice, sister, so we’ll deal with the arms warrior tanking with a two hander, or the overzealous rogue who frequently attempts dodge-tanking.  Some of us get a little kick out of ‘chase the mage’ who just ran off with three Zul’asomething trolls chasing him.  There’s a whole different set of tactics that goes with not being able to trust the maniac beside you.

Me, I’m Hannelore.  Working my way towards Outland inch by grubby inch.  All my compatriots are already out there, waiting for me.  To get there, I’m going to need to use every dirty trick and Machiavellian tactic I can scrounge up.  Don’t ask me how I know about Machiavelli.  We blood elves have VERY effective mages.  We have portals.  We know things.
