Still a noob...Follow

Last night I was defending a node in Gilneas. Like a good little Warlock I dropped my portal, moved away from it, and started spamming consume shadows. After a short time I got shadowsteped (yes it's a word) by a rogue, and we started dueling. I'm disorientated, he's stunned, I bubble, he's dazed now, I'm poisoned, etc etc.

Anyway I'm looking to get some distance so I decide to go for my trusty demonic circle. I glance down at my toolbar and have a moment of doubt. Uh oh, which button is it?!!

See I had this brilliant idea to keybind the summon portal and teleport right next to each other, I mean they're related and all. Unfortunately they look alike, a lot alike; like a lot a lot alike. So I guess, and 0.486 seconds later my trusty demonic circle appears directly below me.

@#$%

Anyway the rogue finished wiping the floor with me and I decided it'd be a good idea not to put those buttons so close together anymore. Over three years into this game and I'm still making clumsy noob mistakes.

So help me feel better, has anyone else done something stupid lately? Please share.

I've got mitigation cooldowns keybound to V and Character Pane keybound to C.

I can't tell how many times I've sent my non-Druid characters plummeting to their deaths because I wanted to check out my stats while flying somewhere.

Sometimes I drop my fire elemental totem while doing archaeology because the icon is next to my surveying icon. They look nothing alike so I have no excuse but I feel really stupid when I do it even if no one else is around.


Pulling aggro off of the tank while he's pulling a boss is another noob mistake and I did it twice last night in raid and felt like an idiot. Actually, any incident of accidentally pulling threat off a tank feels like a noob mistake to me so I feel really stupid when I do it. I say accidentally because there are times when I just go all out on a mob without caring if I pull threat if I know the mob won't kill me or cause other havoc if it's on me instead of the tank.

Not to long ago I was flying over the mountains near Stormwind and for whatever the reason was needed to land and do something. I landed on top of one of the higher mountains and dismounted to do whatever it was. I go to mount back up but accidently hit my ground mount instead of flying. I proceeded to jump forward in an effort to take off, only to see me and my argent warhorse falling off the moutain. To top it all off I had to take the graveyard rez because I couldn't get to my corpse.

Oooh I remembered something! During the Valentines event I slacked off and procrastinated. Then during the last three days I did a mad rush to finish up my achievements. The only toon I had left to sprinkle was a human DK. I didn't want to ask my bf to make a dk and have him go through the three hour starting area just so I could get the achieve, so I tried stealthing into Stormwind. I flew above the city, found a roof, and landed. Before I got a chance to stealth, one of the flying guards came down and started attacking me. this of course caught the attention of the entire city and people started flying up on the roof attacking me. I died in about five seconds lol. I think that even if I had been good at pvp, I still would have died there. Never did finish my Valentines achievement either. -_-

They made you change your name because of an accent?

It's sad when you get nailed for an accent and then this guy walks free:

Emeril says Bam! But I like the sentiment. (look where I'm posting from)

Yeah, I decided to go with the bam/boom thing rather than pointing out how that chacter's name is really pronounced Soom.

Although I think my favortie thing about his name is how the O's have eyebrows...and they do not look happy!!!

Wouldn't the European servers tend to be more lenient on accent marks than the US ones?

If I'm not totally mistaken that's only since the last patch (4.0.6 me thinks). Nothing to be embarassed about. ;)

A few weeks ago my guild was trying Halfus HC. ~1,5 hours into the wipefest I stood on my usual position next to the bronze drake on the right and while casting accidentally clicked on him. Which triggered the cast to free him.
Somehow the castbar eluded my sight and I targeted skull again and continued my DPS "rotation". A few seconds later our raidleader asked a little bit angry why there was a fourth drake flying around free. I think my voice in TS was rather timid and girlish when I confessed.

I think we all had the experience with wondering why our wolf (replace by your fav ground mount) wasn't taking off.
I had it once and luckily didn't die because I was a bit away from the ledge when I noticed that my mount jumped instead of spreading it's wings and taking off.

My most emberassing flying mount moment was during BC when I tried 'divecharging' on my warrior: Dropping onto the enemy and charging it to prevent falling damage. Worked fine until one enemy pathed out of charging range.

To add insult to injury, I didn't even die due to falling damage; I landed with about 5% health in the aggro range of the enemy I wanted to attack in the first place. He ate my face.
