If you’ve played a paladin at level 85 for any length of time, hopefully this requires no explanation. For those of you who haven’t, well. Perhaps you play a melee DPS. You’re at the boss’ feet, stabbing/slicing/cutting (or whatever else it is that you melee folks do).
You hear an odd grunt.
“ARRRRGH!”
“GRRRRRR!”
“RRRRRAAA!”
This, my friends, is the Yellow, Angry Man. His anger knows no bounds. Likewise, his yellow-ness is unsurpassed. He would strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, if he weren’t too busy hollering. He actually provides a solid boost to whatever it is you’re seeking – healing, DPS, survivability.
It was actually Rades who pointed out to me (after hitting 85 on his paladin alt) that if you don’t cast or do anything after summoning, he just follows you. I understand he tested this by flying all over Twilight Highlands with the hapless Man in tow, running over the verdant hills below him as fast as his feet could take him.
When you think about it, really, it’s no wonder he’s so angry!
Too busy frantically tanking to notice angry yellow man 🙁 If I need him, I certainly don’t have attention to spare.
He is so very angry! Also very shiny. I’d quite like it if you turned into AngryMan actually, for that cooldown.
You forgot to draw Shannon’s nips. :C
(This was awesome and I lolled. 😀 SO ANGRY. SO YELLOW.)
Yellow man got much use last night (when I’d remember how to Prot). I like the functionality for healing–it’s just that I’ve *never* listened to him to see if he makes noise! So yea….he makes noise!?!?!? >.>
I miss the beginning of Cata where just summoning him in Ret would piss him of _so_much_ that he would kill any critter in range. Hell-arious.
I’ve never noticed him screaming before. Probably because *I’m* too busy yelling “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” as I see my dps plummet from 45k to 25k.
I honestly never noticed that he made noise. Usually, I am too busy flailing around when I use Guardian. Going to have to keep my ear out for that.
For some reason he never really struck me as all that angry, though I did wonder if he’d been punched in the gut shortly before being summoned by me.
He even gets whinier when you’re Holy spec. “I DON’T GET TO KILL ANYTHING?! ARRRRGH!!!!”
Ahh, the loud, angry yellow dude with the disco fashion fetish – we paladins love him for his power and hate him for just about everything else. Seriously, what’s with the grunting?
For those interested, there is a way to shut him the hell up once and for all. I wrote a blog post about an add-on a while back that does the trick nicely. Check it out here: https://battlemedic.blogspot.com/2011/01/addon-gakgrunt-b-gone-for-guardian-of.html
Shouldn’t that be Shannox…
It’s actually Shannon on purpose! Vid’s guild has taken to calling the Firelands bosses Shannon, Beth and Alice, haha. I think the raid leader called him Shannon one time by accident, and then it stuck ever since. ;D
Not in BT. We fight Shannon, Rachel, Alice, Beth, etc.
That sounds like you’re raiding the cast of “America’s Next Top Model”.
To me it sounds like, well, beth is still a good name for a spider, rachel is my sister, and alice as in american mcgee’s alice. Only shannon I know is a dude so.
*RoFL* So very true. And hehe, I call him Shannon as well! XD But in my case, it’s because he always sound so feminine about his beloved doggies. >;p
That is an incredibly appropriate depiction of the yellow fella. In fact, in honour of this comic I’ve switched from calling him Bananaman to just calling him Angry Man.
I remember asking Coolidge about that once. I thought it was him making sound effects on Skype.
