Now that's fine and dandy in the long run, but right at the start of the fight stuff can go wrong and splat! you're dead and the raid is mercilessly mocking you for pulling aggro <I>again</I>.<BR/><BR/>Of course not everyone has time to run heroics every day, and some people will have differing gear levels. It is intolerant to say <I>I won't make any allowance for your difference of gear to mine</I> and not frankly an attitude which is likely to make you friends. We've concluded that sort of thing may work in a hardcore nutter environment and pressure people to work harder, but our guild is not work, so it doesn't really fit in.<BR/><BR/>Sadly said player is stuck with us, and us with them, so we will have to bring them round to our relaxed way. Or kill them on every pull.Rakhmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875429172456533751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793184783877293931.post-70423111826889573282009-02-13T11:01:00.000+00:002009-02-13T11:01:00.000+00:00A negative example would be once when the tank pul...A negative example would be once when the tank pulled and was positioning the boss, meanwhile the warlock loaded it up with DOTs and it inevitably broke free and ran over and squashed the lock. When the raid was reminded to hold back a bit to let the tank build aggro, the lock's response was "but those DOTs I put up would have only ticked once, doing only a small bit of damage, I can't see how I can hold back any more!".<BR/><BR/>At which point the raid leader asked if the lock could possibly consider waiting before casting their DOTs. As the tank wasn't actually doing <I>any</I> damage whatsoever while positioning the boss (our tanks are <I>special</I>). The lock then repeated that they couldn't do anything, which only further cemeted their reputation as an overaggroing pillock.Rakhmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875429172456533751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793184783877293931.post-14432633200148173692009-02-13T01:16:00.000+00:002009-02-13T01:16:00.000+00:00Great post.I appreciate someone who can front up a...Great post.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate someone who can front up and say, "Hey, sorry, I didn't see it".<BR/><BR/>It only becomes a problem when it's the seventh wipe and they're still standing in it :P.<BR/><BR/>miss elf<BR/>http://misself.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
