My guild had just gotten to the raiding stage when TBC was released (we had UBRS down pat and ran ZG once). There were about 8 of us who had ran Strat and Scholo so many times it was like second nature.

The along comes Nazan at the end of HR. NONE of us had nearly enough (or any) FR gear and so we kept wiping, over and over.

Our brilliant solution was to PUG out the last spot using /1. We found a feral druid with 8,400 health and 11,000 armor. Perfect.

We killed Omar and he dropped the beautiful +dmg/healing caster staff and the (FERAL) druid insta-needed. We really should have been smarter and MLed the damn thing, but we were use to only guild runs.

Now, I'm extremely bitter because I am the guild priest and was expecting that if it dropped it would go to me. I had an extremely lengthly discussion with this druid about why or why not the staff should have gone to him.

His reasoning was that "Druid's have caster form" and I responded with a "Yes, that's true, but the last boss here drops the +attack staff. Are you really going to switch staffs when you switch forms? And just because you can USE something doesn't mean you NEED it."

I mean, really, had that +attack in Bear/Cat/whatever dropped, I could have USED it, but never in a million years would have rolled a need on it. C'mon...
