Last week I needed 1-2 more 'trial' type roulettes to finish a mahatma on DRG.  I usually just queue up Trials roulette because whatever.  I don't spam them.  My sense is that I'm at that last message "soul attunement for this mahatma is almost done, go go go!" or such, and I don't want to overdo it with a WoD run or something that's going to take a long time.

So we get in and it's Garuda HM (who must have had the bright status).  Two of the other DPS have under 4k HP and one of the healers is clearly new as well and my mindset is like, "Okay, this isn't going to be a blitz like usual and I'll just kill the green-tethered sister."

So the higher level WHM pulls hate, says in /p that he's tanking the sisters and he'll be fine, and to focus DPS on the boss and rattles off his HP tallies (he has like 7k+ so he's wearing tank jewelry for all the good that's doing).  And he's way back away from Garuda.  Pretty sure he's a tank main and knows how to keep hate well enough on the sisters, but obviously very clueless about the party composition and rages that we should have all focused on Garuda after we inevitably wipe (because sister(s) not killed).  Mind, my DPS went to the sister even after he said to focus DPS on boss, but Garuda still had a boatload of HP left at the wipe and my contribution would not have tipped the scales.  But he was pissed at me.  >.>

Take 2, echo buff now... same thing happens and I speak up, "Dude, we have 2 fresh DPS here and we're not making the cut.  Just let us kill the sister.  He spouts his HP macro again like being a white mage with 8000 hp is somehow going to miracle us a win.  And I'm like, "That's nice, but we're just going to wipe again.  A monk joined me and we killed the green sister.  He yammered some insults and other nonsense and the other sister used her move.  The other lowbie healer fixed everything and we killed Garuda normal and went on.  I got 5 commendations (as a DRG on a Garuda HM that's kind of unprecedented).

But it wasn't enough for my mahatma so I flagged one more time.  Same WHM in the group.  This time we had one new DPS and I didn't feel like taking chances.  He spouted off his HP totals again and said let me tank the sisters.  I said, "Hello again.  I'm going to target the green sister.  If no one else does, we're going to wipe the first run again.  I don't want to waste time any more than you do but we'll probably wipe if we focus boss on the first run."

More cursing and namecalling but most of the other DPS joined me and we downed both sisters then killed Garuda and got the win without any wipes, even though we all had to go clear across the battlefield to where this WHM was holding them.  He was not happy but w/e.  My mahatma was finished there and I was content to run WoD or take a break instead.

It's great if you're a healer that can hold the adds.  I do that too sometimes on WHM when it's warranted.  But when there's simply not enough DPS to fell Garuda in the party, all you're doing is sealing a death sentence and forcing a re-run.  >.>   (I was not happy about the insults the other day but I'm over it now, and venting here helps a lil too.  ^^ )
