Grouping after level 50 sucks if you can solo.

[WokeCat]

I'll still group with other players. Especially if they need a healer, namely because I enjoy seeing other people get to enjoy the game.

But I don't know. When I solo as my Shaman I'm basically looking at a 2nd monitor watching true crime videos and AFK farming mobs without a care in the world.

Then I join a group and I feel like my heads going to explode because I'm trying to buff/haste[You must be logged in to view images.

Meanwhile I'm actually getting significantly less experience and less $$$ because I don't even have time to loot, and out of no where a Construct of Sathir spawns on top of me and instantly kills me with harm touch because I was so low on HP from mashing cannibalize over and over and over again, and my group falls apart, and now I have less experience than when I started and I'm waiting on a boat so I can run back to KC to get my corpse because I forgot to bind outside the entrance.

 

The last part didn't actually happen, my group got me a 96% resurrection, and even logged on to alt characters to give me POTG and Clarity 2. I fake disconnected when our tank left and someone asked me if I could tank (I'm a Shaman; but I'm not a geared Shaman, nor do I have Torpor). It was mostly a positive experience, but I do feel like grouping as a Shaman can be hella' stressful compared to solo'ing.

Also a little bit of bonus material:

A staff of trainquility dropped and I lost the random on it.
