My low level (~15-30) Pallys can swing a healing run as Ret, but once you get past the low 30s the Talents in the Holy Tree become more and more vital. Right now, with Quint at L80 Ret Spec I can barely handle more than a full trash pull at a time, and a boss falls under the "emergencies only" scenario. Cassandri–

While I'm waiting I inevitably say to the remaining tank and Ret Pally in the group "you know, if I could I would heal you so we could keep going". Not only does this not get the reaction I would hope for - the Paladin offering to heal for one or two pulls - I usually get the following from the tank "yeah right. I've heard that before". I find this particularly annoying. All my other goddamn characters are hybrids and I've done my share of healing. Yet the pure DPS classes are given no respect *and* long queues.

My baby lock is only at level 59 (I think can't quite remember) and I find it so rude when I just get - "Lock, summon so and so" or "Lock, I need a healthstone". Though it is just as bad being a Mage and getting, "Mage, Food" or just an open trade window with no comments at all! Yes I can imagine it gets quite annoying when your Pugging.

Cass thinks all the warlocks are just scared because we have 2 kick ass shadow priests that they have to compete with :) We’ve gone through phases where we’ve had locks and no mages I actually have begun to suspect that the Mage/Warlock rivalry isn’t just a bit of joking and you guys are killing each other off when the rest of us raiders aren’t looking!

It is much more bearable now that I've at least got some energy back which is something at least :) I'm hoping that we can find a couple of warlocks who are looking for stable guilds for Cataclysm, I'm sure there have to be some out there who are planning ahead :) We may not be doing server firsts, but Barthilas is something like the 6th most progressed WoW server overall and our guild has a good reputation so hopefully with enough advertising we can find some keepers. Otherwise I may just have to hurry up and finish leveling Pixii and swap mains :P Then this site will have to be renamed to Dots & Dots!

On my server Barthilas, Mages and Warlocks were the lowest at 18% and 19% respectively. I think Hybrids have become so popular this expansion now that you can DPS competitively against the pures that's what I'm putting it down to in anycase! Oh and healing 3 life tapping junkies would be miserable you poor thing!

We get tired of hearing (especially in PuG raids) without the courtesy of a please: "Lock throw down a TV." " Lock we need crackstones." "Going back to Dal to gem/enchant my new gear. Lock summon her back when she's done" "Lock soul stone so and so." But seriously, my 25-man has 3 locks. demo, destro and me (i alternate between affliction and demo depending on the amount of movement in a given fight) and I know of 2 other guilds that desperately need a lock, so its a question of luck sometimes.
