Asuryan's Flames

Coming from playing a healer for a long time, I found this very troubling. Last night a few guildies where looking for people to go and do a Warpblade boots side run, which I was open for and had some time to spare so I took them up on it since I am still on the hunt for a specific warden ring and a watcher sword.

The first pull told me everything about what was going to come. Mind you I have 5/5 greater and or superior wards and almost 10hp...We pull the first 4 pack of assassins, after everyone said they where ready and poof dead. Only 3 people had come over to the first pull, the remaining 3 where sitting at the instance entrance. I chocked it up to people not paying attention, but that was just the start of it. About 4/5 pulls in healers are not healing for almost 20 seconds, so I am popping everything I have for self preservation, still no heals 30 seconds into the fight and my lesser geared off tank is trying to help mitigate all of this. 45 seconds in dead, no heals at all, but I got an insta rez from the Archmage.

Now coming from playing an archmage and almost being able to solo heal that dungeon I am like WTF we have a runepreist who runs Vale, and an Archmage who I think is new to the guild, neither of which are putting much effort in, yet they both need the final items from the zone. Where as I am there for the chance at a few stat buff items, but they are more fluff than anything else.

We reach the mini-boss and like before, half way though the fight healers stop healing. The rest of the group is at full health, I am taking him and they stop healing. Poof....I am taking yet another dirt nap. A wipe, run back and two of the stragglers pull mobs that where skipped on the way down because they are not paying attention. So the Archmage dies, and the shadow warrior dies, and the rest of us kill the adds when the reach us in the mini bosses room.

Second pull on the mini-boss and it goes the same as above...now this is a guild group, although several of which I have never run with before, so I am getting irritated. We are better than this and one of the cornerstones to an effective group is not performing, our healers. So one dps has to leave to take his kid to hockey practice, and people start looking for someone else. Then the Archmage leaves and it all falls apart from there.

I do not mind screw-ups, in fact I welcome them most of the time because they are a good way to learn, but if you make it into a vale group and need items from lower zones you should be smart enough to not only know your roll in the instance, but perform it. Not sit there and afk on pulls, and not pay attention. Apathy is not excuse for these actions and it wastes the time of others in the group. I know there are people who are amazing at their classes and others who are mediocre, but you should at least know how to play them well enough to get through an easy instance.
