Droods Can Deal Damage, Right?

February 2, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I had installed DamageMeters this week to get some idea of what my dps is now. It was purely for informational purposes, as I’m not really interested in healing % or damage dealt in 5-man runs. I was flipping through the stats this morning from our run through Hellfire Ramparts and noticed something SUPER odd.

I had done less than half of the healing, but it was because our druid was healing right behind me an awful lot. In fact, he had something on the order of 78% overheal. My overheal was around 24% because I couldn’t aways stop the heal fast enough because of my slow framerate. The heal was over before I could move after seeing that the drood was healing.

That’s not the odd thing, though. In clearing the entire instance, the druid only dealt 1109 damage. That’s right. He did something like 2 spells or 4 hits the entire time. I was clearly the healer, and even if I wasn’t, I did over 67,000 damage. Let me get this straight: I did half the healing, 16% of the damage, and he healed what I healed after me and NEVER contributed to “We need to DPS this guy fast before he spawns.” Right. That’s fair. I stand corrected.

    This is the druid that wiped you while AFK on a bio break? Sounds like someone not to group with again…

    Yes, it was. Sadly.
