I Can Be Your DPS Shaman
Add a comment (Comments: 10)

I was sending random tells to a paladin friend tonight, such as:

Oh pally yooouuuuuuu,
You got what I neeeeeed,
Even though you won't cast JoW,
Even though you won't cast JoW...

And I remembered something I had forgotten for too, too long: a song written by Creep, a priest in my old guild (Untold Prophecy on Zul'jin) right at the end of original WoW before Burning Crusade came out.

He dedicated it to our resident enhancement shaman, Crosswell (we just called him a "dps shaman" because no shaman was elemental.) Crosswell had been the guildleader of his old guild where he had, appropriately, stolen all the rogue leather. And then he came to my guild where, well, we weren't sure if we really needed a DPS shaman. So we asked him to heal a lot.

Creep recorded it for us all: I Can Be Your DPS Shaman (original: "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias)

Or use the embedded player:

This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

The lyrics are:

Would you heal if I asked you to heal?
Or would you windfury and never look back
Would you NS if you saw me dieing
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremor if you saw me feared?
Would you use earth shield oh please tell me this
Now would you spot heal for the tank you love?
Oh Please don't pull aggro tonight

(Chorus)
I can be your DPS shaman
I can't wait to take some cleaves
I can spend all my gold on leather
And then have to heal...anyway

I know you swear on KTM* you were fine.
But i wipe my tears, as you wipe the raid
Is 41 to deep?
Have you lost your mind?
I don't care you're on overflow* tonight

(Chorus)
I can be your DPS shaman
I can't wait to take some cleaves
I can spend all my gold on leather
And then have to heal...anyway

So go respec and l2play...

* For any of you young'uns: KTM (aka KLH Threat Meter) is the first threat meter any of us used, long before this newfangled Omen stuff!

* Overflow: sitting from the raid, getting attendance credit but not actually raiding.

Amazing. this takes me back. I must have tanked heroic black morass forty times with Crosswell. and I think he only had to heal like 30 of them.

And Jynx/Kyth, I hope you're having fun out there. this site you have built is awesome!

<3 from an old ZJ tank you probably don't remember.
