I’m not much for ranting usually, but I just needed to get some thoughts out there before it boiled up into and uncontrollable rage which might lead me to doing something stupid. That’s part of the reason I use Shamanistic Rage all the time; if I let it all build up there is no telling what my shaman might do.
I’ve decided that from this point forward, at least until I feel the issue has been resolved (which might be a long long time), anytime I think someone is an idiot I shall call them a death knight. Now I know most of you are thinking but isn’t that what huntards are? But I beg to differ knowing that most hunters just get a bad rap. Plus with them needing expertise now Blizzard has effectively brought them closer to being ranged enhancement shamans which in my book isn’t all that bad. I think the main reason they get such a bad rap is they spend so much time with their pets that they kind of forget how to interact with humanoids from time to time. When out in the wild is totally ok to feign death and let your pet die a horrible death if it means that you get to live. In a group setting this isn’t always as acceptable.
Death Knights on the other hand are just plain idiots. In fact you don’t even need to come up with some sort of creative name to imply that they are somehow less intelligent than a warriors gear, you just need to call them by their name.
You may be wondering where all this is coming from, or maybe you are reading this and saying “That’s what I’ve been thinking since day one!” This stems from a situation in which I was in a LFD group where a trinket drops from the last boss, a trinket that is probably one of my top 3 pre-raiding trinkets, and the death knight won the roll on it. Now an intelligent Enhancement shaman would wonder why would a Death Knight and an Enhancement shaman be rolling on the same trinket? What stats could possibly overlap other than maybe hit and expertise between the two classes? Here is the trinket that I’m talking about [Flashing Steel Talisman].
Notice anything peculiar about that trinket? Last time I checked Agility is basically the worst stat for Death Knights in relation to all the other stats. Especially since Agility is considered a core stat and couldn’t be re-forged. It’s like strength for shammies, we shouldn’t touch it even if it is a possible slight upgrade over our green questing trinket.
Now maybe I’m being a little harsh on the death knight community; maybe the death knight didn’t know better. They were wearing [Mithril Wristwatch] which although spell power is helpful because they do cast spells, there are much better options for them out there that have something we like to call strength. If they truly didn’t know better then I’ll let it slide, but considering if they took 2 seconds to look at every other piece of gear that they got when leveling up to 90, they would notice a strange lack of agility and a strange abundance of strength on everything. Agility at most could be used to give them some more crit. Why use up useful stats on something that ranks as your lowest?
I’m not going to name any names here as I have already looked up their guild leader and sent a simple note indicating that they may want to check in on a certain death knights gearing choices. Best part is it’s a death knight on the same server as me. So conceivably I could run into them out and about. But at least it makes them easy to add to my ignore list. (Strangely enough on my old server there was a death knight that needed on some tanking plate against my warrior tank and won the roll). But for the time being, idiots = death knights in my mind.
