Nice one, healer.
Here's one more story for you.
I told this on tazoon.com a while back, but I'll retell it, perhaps only the oldtimers will really get a kick out of it. You have to remember that this happened in the old days, when mobs made a pinging sound when they died, and large pulls were unheard of.
Back in the premerge days, early enough when there were only a few poeple that had a level 100, and VERY few had 2 or 3, we didn't have the level of mass killing that goes on today. 1600 hit energy sabres didn't exist, nobody had dark cyclone, and the game was just plain different than it is now.
Consequently, at that time, a multicast flame bomb was the god of area damage.
(I started as a healer and I enjoyed playing active healer in group).
So, my RL friend Treebeard (wizard, probably in his 50's at the time) and I decided to go test it out after huntinggolems all night. I was getting pretty lit up on beer, so maybe this isn't as funny to everyone now (I still sit and giggle about it to this day). Consider when reading this, that at that time, pulling10 mobs at once was considered uber, and getting in the 20+ range was unheard of against anything difficult.
Well, do you all remember that area outside of harro that had a huge pile of brown wolves? (The lower leveled ones). It was just on the border of the cursed wolf spawn.
Treebeard: "Hey let's try something. I'll go round up all those brown wolves. I think I can one-hit them with multicastenergy bomb III. That'd be funny"
Twelvebagger (slightly intoxicated): "Ok, I'lll heal you"
So, Tree runs off and gathers up ******** near 20 brown wolves. 20 nowdays is a good pull but not anything to brag about (alhough I still tend to brag about it [:D]), but back then, 20 mobs was rediculous. Purely rediculous.
So, he lights up his energy burst, perfect spell, multicast, as I sip on my beer and get the heal finger ready.
Just then, I get a slight lag pause and hear one really loud D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D DDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGG!!!!! as all the mobs die.
I had never seen anything like this before, nor heard such a loud and continuous kill-ding, that I lost control in a fit of laughter, and I also lost control of the Coors Light already in my mouth, and spit it all over my monitor and the adjacent wall. I laughed for about 2 straight minutes, not noticing the 1 CURSED wolf (level 60, a threat back then) that decided to aggro tree, and continued to beat thepiss out of him. After about 1 minute of him getting pummeled (mind you, I'm crying my eyes out due to laughter and beer is dripping off my monitor and wall) and trying to fight back, the wolf kills him easily, withoutpoor Treebeardgetting 1 stinkin heal from me.
Treebeard: "Nice one, Healer."
I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard in my life.
