Best - twinked out cleric

[Yoite]

i wouldnt worry about it, most people dont come back to the forums after they get the game running. Most people who visit these forums do so during the day while they are at their boring desk job.

Sounds like you've never played a druid, and have never been invited to a a group for the sole purpose of sowing everyone and the group immediately disbands....time and time again.....

There has always been a degree of "druid envy" in Everquest. Everyone wants to benefit from druid skills (sow, chloro, DS, teleports, binds, etc), but no one wants to group with them. That can mentally and emotionally jade a druid who enjoys playing the game and the class, but can't stand the constant "sow pls" tells. I myself got to the point on live where I wouldn't sow people unless they literally typed out "May I please have a Spirit of Wolf buff?". My friends and guildies got it and understood, and were perfectly cool with it, but random douches in PUGs despised me, and the feeling was mutual. :P

Bottom line is that a "twinked" cleric should have had his own means of runspeed (cough JBoots) and you can't sow an encumbered cleric when you're oom and afk. Best seems like a sociopath, at any rate. I definitely won't be grouping with him.

I think it's perfectly okay for a Druid to not cast SoW on people in their group unless it's needed. They have no obligation to buff people randomly. My point is that if you don't want to cast SoW on someone who doesn't need it, you should be straight with them, give them a good reason, and don't lie to them like Tylaric does. If people don't accept "you don't need it" as an acceptable reason, that's their problem.

I guess a point can be made that druids will just feel like douches for not giving group members SoW because they don't need it, but they really shouldn't, because as I said there's no obligation to hand out buffs to people just because they're grouped with you.

@ Lazortag - after looking at your post history I don't see anything to support my suspicion that you're doubling as Best..

Which leads me to wonder why your trollin like you are.. Hell - I've even SoW shitty bards that can't twist and pull at the same time ! (that wasn't you was it?)

To be clear, when I was in that group in Najena I didn't do any pulling (at least not intentionally!) because that place is fucking scary shit and I didn't know it very well.

But to respond to your tangential little point anyway - I'm not sure that you have to be giving yourself carpal tunnel syndrome while pulling if you're a bard, as pulling usually involves needing to focus on three specific songs (lulling, mezzing and speed) so I'm not going to be casting a piddly little strength or regen buff unless I know I've single-pulled and I can twist it with selo's accelerando so as to not get hit. I mean, sometimes having to twist to your full capacity compromises your ability to concentrate on more important things, so be sympathetic to bards who aren't 4-twisting while mezzing and lulling and assisting and doing everything.
(This is not an excuse for bards who are lazy and don't try to twist as much as they can though).

Going to be honest here,

If you choose to play a druid casting SoW/Chloro/DS and porting people to the group are part of your job in a group. Just because other groups may have taken advantage of you does not change the fact that these are your buffs and its your job in a group to cast them on people that need/want them. And not everyone has JBoots nor is it a requirement that everyone get Jboots to get a group, especially not in lowbie groups. If someone wants a damn sow in your group, cast the sow if you have mana or med enough to cast it.

Best was an asshole here but the OP was not exactly a victim eather. Best asked for the SoW before the OP went AFK. Even if he was OOM it would take all of 1 minute to med enough to SoW the guy, especially if he was about to go AFK for 15 minutes. ALL buffers should make sure everyone has their buffs before going afk for an extended period of time while being grouped.

1). It's called "when mana permits", or "WMP".

2). When nature calls, druids answer.....

3). The only "job" anyone has in this game is to enjoy themselves.
