We had already run a few dungeons

 I remember when it first dawned on me that I really don’t like to play any real sense of DPS, even when leveling a character. But, it was one time back in the Wrath days when a buddy and I were taking turns healing or playing DPS. I was on my priest, Abbysomeone, and he was on his druid, and both of us were dual specification, you know, way back when, that time when it cost 1,000 Cheap WOW Gold to dual spec.

  Anyway, it was my turn to DPS in shadow and he was healing. I was running my rotation, pushing the same buttons over and over and over again. We were fine, but I was getting bored by the time we were waiting for the second boss in Azjol-Nerub. In case you don’t remember it, Hardronox is the giant spider, and should your group attack right away, then you have mobs to fight on top of the boss.

  We had already run a few dungeons, remember, this was WotLK, you could burn through a dungeon in 15 minutes with ease. And, in case you don’t remember, I get very bored on DPS. I was hitting the tipping point of running DPS where I do something stupid. I remember thinking that it was time to create some excitement for me (and my healing buddy). I whispered him to get ready and before he could respond, I threw a bubble around me and went in and filled Hardronox with DoTs and let out an AoE.

  Maybe I wanted to see if the tank could pull a mob off a clothie. Maybe I wanted to unleash my inner Leroy Jenkins. Now that I think of it, this was before the “Leeeeroy Jenkins” meme took hold both inside and outside of Azeroth. It makes me wonder if we all have a bit of Leroy in us? Or, is it just those of us who get easily bored?

  Hardronox came right after me, by which time my buddy had every healing spell on me he could. When he finally replied, he cursed at me, but laughed. And the tank never was able to pull the boss off of me. And, to my buddy’s credit, I didn’t die. I was a priest tank. The tank said I was an idiot and left the group. The rest of us laughed.

  I was told by others, while funny, don’t do it again. I did. And yes, I died.
