I guess you didn't get the memo. Furies are just wizards with heals.

1. Just to be an asshole, i highlighted every grammatical error you made. There were alot.

2. Int is just as viable as wis for a fury who, chances are, already had a decent amount of Wis and was willing to sacrifice some healing for power regen and damage.

3. You are a grade A retard who rolled on a no-trade item that the fury DID NOT EVEN FUCKING ROLL ON. Instead you took out your retardation out on the inquis who only pointed out to you that you are utter morons who know nothing about the game.

4. I have come to the following conclusions about you because of your actions:

• your parents were related
• your life started as a freak accident in a trailer somewhere in southern alabama; it most likely involved crisco, a basketball hoop, and 17 bottles of XXXX (thats what you guys call booze down there, right?) to convince your mother/aunt (same person) to participate. Sad thing is it probably also took a few, shall we say, practice shots.
• you failed life on such an epic scale that you actually drag all those close to you into a little vortex of failure, sucking them in and taking them down with you.
• you were abused as a child by your father, who is also technically your uncle (see first bullet point).

5. Fuck you.

Weak, you missed a number of them, probably because you made the same.

What should I be rolling on as a dirge then? Im not gonna get as much use from a caster as the casters and a melee item is going to benefit a rogue/predator/tank more than me. I guess I should only be looking for the few items that have strength, agility, intelligence, and bonuses to melee and spell casting.

You just answered your own question. Roll on items that boost STR/AGI/INT.

Obviously you're going to be able to make use of something like a melee weapon that may only boost two of those three stats.

Case in point, you'd be an idiot to roll on something that is INT/WIS with an effect that's triggered by heals. Yes you *can* heal, but only generally once per fight.

On my Dirge at least, I aim for having base STR/INT on all gear if possible. AGI is a nice-to-have, but takes a back seat to the other two stats.

Your bard is quite different from a Fury. The Fury depends on WIS/INT, where your stuck looking for STR/INT/AGI.

And lets face it, there isn't exactly a shortage of good Fury gear.

I'm pretty sure Rukkis is aware of that, Zahne... but they had quoted Calybium. There are very few items with all 3 of those stats on them (those stats being str,agi, and int) So like you said, they sometimes have to take 2/3. If an item has str/int on it, with maybe + spell dmg, then mages go "Ooh, perfect mage item"

If there's an item with Str/agi on it, with perhaps + to melee crit plenty of melee will go "ooh, perfect melee item"

It's the pitfall of being a hybrid in general. There are many items you will get that will benefit other "pure" classes, but will also do fine for you. It's just the nature of the beast that the pure dps will often get upset with someone they see as not as valuable in respect to DPS'ing


Ok, that derail aside... what a couple of tools. And awesome that they actually posted that it wasn't a mistake, or something that just happened, but a fucking pre-meditated act of douchebaggery. All this because they couldn't understand the nature of a class that does two things well (kind of like my above points about bards)

Zahne

Well, as an 80 mage with a 70 Dirge I can assure you I know both sides of the coin to one extent or another


I think it's pretty stupid for any class to roll on gear that "Kinda works" for them under the premise that they "Need" it. If that gear is blatently designed for say a mage, then the person that "Kinda" needs it should be decent enough to step back for the person that "Really" needs it.

I'd feel pretty shitty taking loot on something that wasn't exactly what I needed.


That's like calling "Need" on something for use in an appearance slot, when there's someone grouped with you that needs it for stats.

Actually, no it's not.

There are very very few items in the game that are geared towards Bards. So they have some slots that have more melee oriented gear and then they have slots that have more mage oriented gear to even it out.

Someone said Furies were good healers? Maybe when they decide too heal.

It's always fun to run the heal parse in instance groups when I (templar) have a fury in my group. I usually only quadruple thier heal parse =x

If you have two healers in a single group instance and no one is dying, you slackasses better be trying to kill stuff... and yea I'd expect the reactives caster to out parse the HoTs ninja, similar to shammys PWNing too. They get first crack at the heals... but it would probably stand to reason that the fury PWNed your ass in the DPS parse?

Not that I'm picking on any healers... I love healers... I got a templar, fury, defiler and a couple of tankers. Having a cleric and drood in the same team, I'd full on expect that drood to go DPS mode unless the shit hits the fan and hell your cleric better be swinging the big 2handed crit machine between heals tbh.

Which brings us full circle. The fury equipped the item, correct? It's not their fault that you idiots don't understand their class or the game enough at level 80 to comprehend why. It didn't go in an appearance slot and the item WAS an upgrade. If you don't know how crap works by now then WE'VE got no chance to educate you.

Morons picking on furys is fucking lame and it's surprising how many people don't know how shit works, even endgame raiders. Ebay ftl I guess.

What's really agitating is your dumb has been at the detriment to others and that won't be tolerated. It's a harsh fact that MMOland is the equivalent of elementary school recess but, none the less, you shall be laughed at and ostracized as long as this RaR is page 1 material. You can only hope you don't make the Hall of Flames or you may just be better off rerolling.

You each got something from the run then decided to fuck the healers? gg dumbshits. It's not like the zone is going anywhere and you've got plenty of time to farm it until the next expansion.

You had a good chance to score your precious little pos later but, now good luck surviving an instance as your healers(and tankers) will probably group up with you just to let you chain wipe and get screenies of your frustration for us to all /chuckle at. (I know I would if I were on your server *hint* hint*) I hope your useless phats were worth it you dungholes.
