n00b, party of one gnome mage
Aug. 19th, 2007 04:43 pmSo I was getting in a little World of Warcraft before work today, like you do, running a quest in Westfall that my barely level 16 gnome mage just couldn't handle. The gnolls she had to kill were clustered in encampments, and pulling one meant pulling at least one, usually two others - all level 15. I was a mage smudge on the ground in about six seconds.
On my third try, a dwarf hunter came along, and we kind of nodded at each other. He pulled first, getting three gnolls, and I got a good two fireballs off at one of them before it reached me, then swiped it a few times with a wand. Got done with just enough time to finish off the second gnoll still on the dwarf's pet.
So we finish the quest and bid our farewells, when a human paladin approaches. He's level 15, and I had a little bit of time left, and offered him help. He declined - then with one spell pulled three gnolls, soon followed by the fourth. So I pulled one off him and finished it, and got maybe one fireball off at one of the two left still attacking him before he dropped dead.
And then spent my shower, drive, and first 20 minutes or so of work trying to figure out what I could've done differently to save him (sheep another one after pulling? Get closer and do frost nova so we could both run? Arcane explosion to help damage them all simultaneously?)
Just me?
