A mage getting into a heroic because they have warrior plate sitting in their backpack isn't a great idea. It would put hybrids in an awkward spot (multiple roles = multiple gear sets) so maybe only soulbound gear would be considered. Interesting post, now it's got me thinking :)Icedragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08453563907934635791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-13921188235655970792010-12-29T13:55:36.181-05:002010-12-29T13:55:36.181-05:00You have a point about hybrids but I can't thi...You have a point about hybrids but I can't think of any other possible suggestion to weed out the 3 DPS tanks I had the other day or the ret healer. <br /><br />Okay, maybe a week is harsh. 48 hours seem more reasonable?<br /><br />I do think some sort of check needs to be put into the game for these things. When I run with guild mates, even as few as 2 and we pug 2 there is never a problem. <br /><br />When I fly solo I have still never found a group that can get past 1 boss. To many people that are in wrong spec, wrong gear, or just not ready.<br /><br />These people are the only reason heroics are [i]hard[/i].<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-32434573097219794072010-12-29T13:00:20.921-05:002010-12-29T13:00:20.921-05:00I see a few faults here.
"If someone is not ...I see a few faults here.<br /><br />"If someone is not in Tank/Healer Spec at the moment and not in Tank/Healer gear at the moment then they should not be allowed to queue as a tank or healer."<br /><br />Did you think about hybrids at all? I can queue as either a tank or a healer, or any combination of the three roles depending on what my current spec is. You can check more than one box for a reason. Towards the end of Wrath I could DPS in my cat set in a bear spec good enough for dungeons (3k-4k depending on the group), so in heroics I'd check all three boxes if I happened to be feral/resto.<br /><br />"If they get three strikes in one day they are banned from queuing for heroics for a week."<br /><br />An entire week? That's pretty harsh, and it would lock them out of doing random heroics with guildmates and friends as well (who might be able to support lower DPS).Icedragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08453563907934635791noreply@blogger.com
