I finally understand the plight of healers

-

This week I decided to pull the trigger on leveling a Paladin. I've only ever played Tank/Damage classes but I figured "hey, healer can't be that bad!"Narrator: He was wrong.I'm level 24, enjoying the instant queues that accompany the ability to play as all 3 roles. 30 seconds after pressing enter, I hear that glorious chime. First time queue popped as a healer! Time to heal! I got this.We load in. Monk tank, could be worse. I prepare my - checks spellbook - ONLY 2 HEALING SPELLS???I shrug it off. Whatever, I've seen Paladins heal, this should be fine. I got this.Tank proceeds to pull every enemy in the first hallway in Stockades.Mild panic sets in, but it can't deter a Chad Paladin like me. I got this.I'm spamming my only 2 healing spells in a frenzy, watching his health dip precipitously lower and lower.But he doesn't die.I've got him. I got this.This is GLORIOUS!!!I am the saving grace, the GUARDIAN ANGEL, I AM - Oh, I'm out of mana.I-I got this?Oh no, he' s 20% HP and pulling the boss.I don't got this.uh ohWipes ensue.Many. Wipes.My group is strong. Stubborn. Not a single full reset. We throw ourselves at this sucker again and again. WE GOT THIS.Finally, mercifully, the boss dies. Victory!Finally, a blessed pause in the combat. I start to type in chat; "Hey, I only have so much mana, can we-"Why am I back in Azsuna. What? I check my chat logs.You have been removed from the dungeon.This day, I swear my vow. I will never flame a healer ever again.And so my watch begins.

So Blizzard keeps changing my guild name from Thrall's Balls because they find it offensive. Yet they are the ones who came up with it.Thrall's balls is a humorous catch phrase originally used by Legionnaire Nazgrim during Blood and Thunder!, during which he yells: Thrall's balls! They're everywhere... Later, during Defending the Rift, he also says Thrall's balls! I'm sick of fighting naga!In the Legion pre-patch, several new voiced emotes were added for all playable races. Orc characters who use the /whoa emote say "Thrall's balls!"Do it, type /whoa on an Orc.I think it's a bit hypocritical of them to deem my guildname offensive, and I quote "Violation: Inappropriate Guild NameYour fellow players reported your in-game name as inappropriate multiple times. " when they use it in game THREE TIMES and even have an emote for it!This is not for using the name Thrall in the guildname either.
