I would not tell is not taught ... yet as what I deem is of little interest by most. Not many people in this world are inquisitive enough.

I spent a week in Singapore once, Wo ting bu dong (sp?) - Mandarin? Seems what I remember, aside from some of the most beautiful memories of culture and custom left mark upon this world.

We have some PHENOMENAL female players on Sarlona, some of which play only healers. I just find there is a group of women, who are generally very mothering in their playstyle, refuse to zerg, and shitty gamers and get flustered easily who play this game. It seems everyone of these players plays a Female Cleric wearing Full Plate and a Shield and complains about how they run slow and can't jump. They also are nannybots and talk about how they can't kill anything and aren't really a battle cleric when you ask why they can't get to Running with the Devils by themselves. When having to heal multiple targets in raids they tend to just spam big mass cures because they are too flustered to twitch game and when healing a raid tank they just spam big heals because they get flustered as the tank takes damage they can not react too. These players also usually play only clerics because they feel the need to nanny due to their mothering instincts.


OMG, you hit the nail on the head with that.

This may sound odd coming out of my mouth but...

I hate most other female Clerics.  They're only playing the class because they know that healers are in demand no matter what the skill of the person behind the toon is.  That's why so many females play nannybots- anyone can max wisdom, have a decent constitution and equip a potency item and get accepted to most raids.  Not a lot of people who pug MyDDO the Cleric, they're just glad they've got a healer.

Women play healbots.  Men play Clerics. 
(and I have issues apparently, lol)

This statement got me a little confused, though.  Are there tiny heals to throw on a raid tank?  My single target Heal on Pallai hits for 475ish non-crit.  So whether the tank needs 175hp worth of healing or 220, it's always going to take him to full.  I like to think that big heals on a raid tank are kind of nice- I'd be more concerned if I were tanking and the Cleric hit me for 150.

Overheard at a fast food place:

"I don't know about none of that, I speak God's language, "AMERICAN".

I really wanted to smack that fool.  But I lived in "the deep south" and attitudes like that were not unusual.

This is true of most clerics... their physical anatomy plays no part in it. Slouchy clerics abound. It's a shame really.

I tend to agree... if anything my experience is the same % among any demographic.

You should try telling them you speak mandarin from now on, that should be good for a little fun.

It depends on who is doing the rating.  There are a lot of prominent players on Argo whose names I learned before having the opportunity to play with them... when you hear a lot of people saying they did an Epic XYZ with this dude a lot or have you heard that so-and-so duo'ed a Shroud, you take notice of those names and develop an expectation.

I find that reputation on Argo tends to be pretty accurate.  Preston is a great Ranger.  Brenna was an outstanding Rogue.  When something absolutely, positively needs to be blown the fuck up, I check to see if Spisey is on.  Was in a lag-filled horror of an Elite ToD with Hefffty and although the run got shot to shit, he's a ballin' Pally.  These people have been playing forever and know their toons and the game inside out- nothing overrated there.

Fuck, just two nights ago, Jenisis and I swapped accounts for something cause he was on timer- Dude went into healing a ToD, drunk off his ass and on a toon with unfamiliar hotbars... Searching though Pallai's 14 hotbars the way I have them set is a challenge for a sober person, nonetheless a guy who was pounding a shot every five minutes.  I almost shit myself when he said he was going to kite shadows (they were drunk and formed with no arcane, meaning no hjaste).  He pulled it off on a Cleric with no wings, no hjaste and probably seeing double. 

Sure, everyone has their off days, but I've never seen consistently shitty play out of someone on Argo who has a good rep.  I've had the fortune to learn the game from some really awesome people.

At least someone got my point. By big heals i meant they just spam as fast as possible even if its not needed every 6 seconds or whatever... So they are out of mana when horoth is at 50% and whine about how resource intensive it is to heal TOD and swear never to heal that raid again.

Then, perhaps, you should attempt to use words that actually put this point across, rather than sounding like a misogynistic asshole.

I did. Perhaps read the post Pallai quoted and you would understand that.. I can understand if you didn't want to read though I know it causes brain aches probably.

Just as an FYI about Jenisis (which you may have noticed by now) is a pretty twitchy player.  Pretty high APM in SC2 I would bet (if Jenesis plays SC).
