The Little Things

WARNING! QQ POST AHEAD. SCROLL DOWN TO ANYWAY TO AVOID QQ.
Sure, I know. Things happen, bad things, stupid things, your fault or not. Part of the game. World of Warcraft. But there are these little things that really piss me off. Exhibit 1: Wintergrasp, this morning.
I’m farming revenants, after having won WG. Even without the flying mounts to position you properly, revenants are pretty easy for a level 77 Death Knight. I pull one flame revenant, and two elementals. Disadvantage one: 3 Lv. 80 mobs, one with almost elite health and damage, on a 77 character. Normally, I’d just go, ‘Oops, bad pull’ and shadowmeld or pop a few cooldowns. However, I had just respecced unholy for the first time in ninteen levels. Disadvantage two: Rusty on spec mechanics. I was also at +-80% HP when I pulled. Keeping count? Now, with three knocks against me, what swoops in but an 80 blood elf ret pally. Disadvantages four and five: Facing my counterclass at three levels below. And sure enough, opens with an arcane torrent, silencing me (Somehow). In the one second that I’m helpless, he gets a crit off on me, bringing me to 30% from 50%. I fire off a scourge strike (glyphed), he cleanses and proceeds to kill me.
If you need that many advantages to kill a 77 at 80, then… Wow. Just wow.

ANYWAY

To stop this from becoming a qq post, there’s a few other things that bug me and are slightly less angsty.
First of all, there’s the pet AI problems.
Any BM hunters out there will know what I mean. Your pet will constantly reposition the mob while they have aggro, dragging it away. Poor ratgrinder (I kid you not with the name.) pulled a withered troll into thrym in zul’drak, leading to an ‘Oh shi-‘ shadowmeld by me. For those unaware, Thrym is Fel reaver 3.0 (or Gankasaur 4.0, depends who you ask.), except hitting for 9k on ghouls. Personally, I’m hoping not to find out plate hits.
And thirdly, flying mobs. Went afk on flyer above Gun’drak, came back to the GY under where I died, my corpse floating above me, irretrieveable. Died mid fall.
-Elune be with you!
