PuGing, Oh How I Lothe Thee!

I've recently taken to PuGing again Not on Tak thankfully, I've got a guild full of 70s to instance with!

But my poor little healadin has to heal PuGs! It could be worse, I'm friends with a tank at the same level so at least I know 2 people in the group aren't retarded.

Freaking mage kept sheep pulling and over aggroing D: Before the instance he was told that Tankadins need time to build up threat and he kept doing it anyway >.<

Worse thing was? He claimed to have a tank. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BE A PISSING ANNOYING DPS WHEN YOU'VE GOT A TANK AND KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE?!?!?!

/head desk

How hard is it to give the tank a few seconds to get aggro? Or sheep a target before it gets on consicrate? OR EVEN SHEEP YOUR TARGET.

Oh and then there was the druid he refused to kitty DPS from behind. We tried explaining about cleave and parrys and dodges. His reply? "A brave Tauren don't attack from behind.". Maybe not, but a smart one does! D:

Lord, how can people get to 60 and not have a clue how to instance?

/rant

Oh, and if anyone has and unidentified plant parts just lying about I'd really appreciate them.

Does that mechanic actually work in 5 man trash, or even 5 man bosses? (moot point, anyway, he should be behind to use shred for superior dps)

I tried heroic arcatraz the other day on my rogue,

The paladin had 12 THOUSAND mana... And he used it all in one fight.

Why?

Because the tank couldn't keep agro to save his life. Even when i had Blessing of Salvation, Anesthetic Poisons and kept feigning... I STILL pulled aggression.

Oh... Dear... God.

My Rogue is good... But not that good. No way in hell. Scary thing was he was geared and specced to tank. Asin he had 15k health... But he still didn't know how to tank. I was rather confused.

So now i've stuck to PvP. I'm planning to respec Rashkaa, and i've been playing as my dad's shammy (elemental)

Was well impressed. Got his Gladiators Shoulders in one night ^^ He now has... Mostly greens, A few blues... And purple shoulders ^^

He's gonna be a happy bunny when he finds out

I think it does, or at least the tank thought it did. Anyway, yeah, he should be behind so he can actually use his skills D:

And Jass, I pulled aggro off a Tankadin that was wearing gear from SSC, TK, MH and BT. Omen wasn't working : / Plus the guy bought the character.

Avenger shield + Holy shield + judgement of rightousness + cincencrate + seal of rightousness.
If the tankadin does that in that order the mage ain't gonna get aggro unless he critting every single time or the tankadin sucks at picking gear.

Why the heck does people hate PuGs? i don't get it, PuGs are the most funny thing ever. THat also one of the reasons i changed to DDO where PuGs are the lifeblood of the game. Only once have i seen one screwup so bad i almost fell down my chair.
The rogue spots a trap, searches for the control box to disarm it, his search check succedes but he doesn't see the box himself, i point it out for him... twice, he searches again, and again, and then sees the box, tries to disable it... it explodes up his face, he then steps back and runs straight into the trap he tried to disable - Dead rogue, and a party laughing like hell, never have i seen anybody screw up so badly. My brother sucks at playing rogue xD


But honestly, PuGing in wow i funny imo, as i can sit back, laugh at the paople who screw up and make new friends. The best friends you get on WoW comes from PuGing, that's my experience through 2 years atleast.


btw Tak, why does the mage even sheep?!? oO You got a tankadin.

The mage was frostbolting the moment the tank pulled, there was no time for anything past Avenger Shield before aggro was peeled off the tank.

We were trying sheep as it was the first instance he'd ever tanked so we didn't want to push to hard. Course the mage was a tard so he ended up discovering he can tank them all and not die.

I dunno if DDO is any different, but the price of failure in WoW is too high to enjoy constant screwups. Corpse running every other pull is not fun :p

If resurrection shrine is not near, near like 10 seconds of running through severly inverted blurry as hell spirit world, then You cannot return to life, not until someone takes ur soul-stone to shrine or resurrects you...


DDO, oh how i love thee ^^;

It makes dying a bad thing, unlike wow where death isn't that fatal.
DDO ftw ^^
