Asuryan's Flames

Well I have been toying with a black guard for a while, and one thing led to another and I was pushed into playing it more because of the actions of a guild leader. I guess I should back track a bit.

I went out Friday evening and got back in time to start into the Korean/ Japanese players prime time. So I started out with some heavy oRVR and it had been going really well. My goal for the weekend was RR55, so I was well on track from RR53 to get it. Saturday rolls around and the wife has to work so I decided to get on and try and push through the last of RR53, and things where going really well all morning until the guild leader logs in. We start running premades which was fine; really it is the only way that I like to run scenarios. We has two healers with us; a warrior priest and myself, archmage, the rest are a bright wizard, iron breaker, engineer, and shadow warrior. We where light on tanks but we didn’t think that it would be a problem.

So we go into a serpent’s passage and things are going ok at best. A witch elf jumps the warrior priest and he calls for help on vent, and is dropped before a response, so I call for help since the witch elf was heading to me and I know even in the best cases it is really hard for me to live a witch elf encounter. So at that point everyone but the bright wizard in our premade group turns kills the WE and they go back to business. Well during the 2 seconds it took to kill the over zealous bright wizard, aka the guild leader, decides to make a solo push knowing his support was in jeopardy, and you can imagine how it ended for him.

Well after the scenario he gets on his high horse and tells the warrior priest and myself that only the iron breaker should have turned to help and that dps is the only thing that is important in the scenario. Well as you can imagine that playing an almost pure support class I did not take that statement well. I told him next time I consider running with him I will only be dpsing to prove the fact that healing/support is key to any success in pvp.

In the end he just could not wrap his head around the idea that defending the people who keep you alive is more important than getting 3 more kills to pad your stats. So I logged.

Now to the black guard, I love it, and I am finding it harder and harder to log into the archmage. The only thing that keeps me doing it is that I have friends there, other than that I could care less at this point.
