Re: World of Warcraft

Still, I don't see any reason to complain about it. Kick them out of the group/ leave the group, and get over it.

Re: World of Warcraft

it's that simple as izzy says yo, there's even a huge list of macros you can utilize that tells them they suck.

Re: World of Warcraft

I'm going to go ahead and say that you had a bad group to begin with. The only real way out is to say, "I got to go, sorry." They most likely aren't going to bug you about it after you leave.

Most of the under geared warrior tanks I know will tank with triple digit dps. He is obviously not going to be very good at building threat. If I had a party of good dps, they know when they need to stop doing damage to prevent pulling aggro off him. As long as your healer is decently geared, if your group has to stop dpsing for 10 or so seconds to help your tank build threat, then it shouldn't be a big issue. In pugs, you have to realize that you can't always pull your 2800 dps. My hunter friend can easily go over 3k dps, but you don't always see him doing that because sometimes the tank can't keep aggro off him. He has to drop as low as 1600 dps sometimes so he doesn't cause the tank to panic when he sees the mob running away from him. But then again, this is assuming the tank knows what he's doing, it's just that he may be lacking the gear.

I have two herbalist. =X I may be dropping one of my character's herbalism for something more useful like Jewelcrafting.

Oh, another idea Squeek...if you need to leave your group do what I do 8D

"oh **** sorr i g2g my mom and sister just got in a car accident and are at the hospital"
"sorry my gf is putting out g2g"
"**** i just got called in for work bye"
"my kid just fell down the stairs and is bleeding g2g"

Re: World of Warcraft

Well, now they know you're obviously lying. You don't need to give a reason if you want to leave a group.

But the outcome is more hilarious...plus you would be surprised how often the second one works.

95% of my pugs have been great. I only post the stupid ones because I'm not going to make a post every time a pug goes well.

Re: World of Warcraft

I hate warriors sometimes.

Valorous tanking set dropped.

I said "I'm going to take this if nobody cares, since I'm the only prot warrior."

One guy was like "I TANK ALL THE TIME I SHOULD GET TO ROLL."

He rolled higher than me and I had to give them to him. ;_;

Ugh I hate when people do this. It's going to be even more goddamn bad when dual-speccing comes out. "I KNOW I HEALED THIS RAID BUT MY OTHER SPEC IS DPS SO I GET TO ROLL ON THAT DPS GEAR GUYS."

The general rule most non-braindead raid leaders adhere to is "you only take loot for the role you played". If you healed the raid, you can only roll on healing gear. If you DPSed, no, you moron, you can't take the tanking set. It's astonishing how unbelievably greedy some hybrids are.

The way most people on our server do rolls is priority. #1: Main Spec. If the item is an upgrade for your main spec, roll. If nobody rolls, #2: Offspec. If the item is an upgrade for your offspec, roll. #3: Armor class. Paladins roll on mail, etc, Druids roll on cloth, etc. #4: Disenchant shard/crystal roll.

I'm fortunate in that when I'm the only shaman, all spellcaster mail is essentially mine. I got a total of five upgrades--3 main and 2 off--in one run.

Re: World of Warcraft

The only one situation where that rule shouldn't be followed is if you specifically asked someone to respec so that you can get a raid going. It's not fair to say to a tank who respecced from dps so that he can tank for your raid that he can't have any dps gear. It's stupid that just because he's offspeccing for you at the moment, he can't roll on his main spec.

Re: World of Warcraft

Yeah, it's just "main set" "off set" "vendor set" for the most part.

[tsugomaru]

Re: World of Warcraft

The line is kind of blurred when your "main spec" happens to be one you're not currently using.
