This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

ESPECIALLY when things like the DPS Priest build was the best for leveling but the HEALING Priest is the one everyone needed for dungeons.

Oh as a shadow priest in TBC you hit me right in the feels.

Shadow was so great for levelling but shit for healing. And holy was great for healing but shit for solo play.

Towards the end of TBC I was doing disc and having a blast as a squishy healer in PvP.

To be fair thats sort of the point of RPGs, people fill different roles but not all roles.

Yeah...wish they would've come out with dual specs earlier. Would've made leveling my priest much more fun...a holy priest was a slow and boring process in solo PvE but a shadow priest was boring in dungeons. And I liked doing both.

I think the punishment for changing specs was just unbalanced. In vanilla it was an absurd amount of gold. We had funds for our healers and tanks, and many of them just played alts outside of raids.

Something about the difficulty of it all I think breeds companionship. Whatever we have now is pretty broken.
