One good DPS can make a huge difference in the runs and the lives of the people who play this game.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-10485812527869088002012-05-22T08:27:02.896-04:002012-05-22T08:27:02.896-04:00As it turns out, I’ve recently been doing this mys...As it turns out, I’ve recently been doing this myself and making a point of getting at least a “hello” out of the people in the run. That said, I’ve been tanking because I reckon the tank is the role that can really shore up an otherwise bad group.<br /><br />But I’ll see how playing as DPS goes. You’ve raised some valid points here, and it could be that my mega pew-pew is what gets people through in a hopefully positive environment.Zellvirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382061860691005530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-67048597600324386262012-05-21T18:47:06.070-04:002012-05-21T18:47:06.070-04:00I was running Heroics on my mage (who sadly still ...I was running Heroics on my mage (who sadly still desperately needs gear from those) and a rogue came in with the Fangs of the Father and a spectacular gear set to match. He was doing about 40k sustained throughout the dungeon, and stuff was falling all around us.<br /><br />I asked him why he was doing the regular heroics when his gear was so nice. He said he had nothing else that needed to be done, and helping random people get through regular heroics is his way of passing the time and doing something nice.<br /><br />People like that make me give WoW more chances.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246056965478098254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-24213965437761943352012-05-20T16:13:08.357-04:002012-05-20T16:13:08.357-04:008K was minimum when they first came out.

Never will be 6K unless you went with a guild group that all knew what they where doing.<br /><br />Basic fact is anyone that can only do 6K is the same person that stands in the fire and ignores mechanics because they do not know how to play.<br /><br />If the start of the expansion proved anything it was that people do not want to communicate, people do not want to mark, people do not want a kill order. <br /><br />People want to roll through them and one good DPS is all they need for that.<br /><br />Help out the new players. Help them get it done and get some gear. Make their life easier and less stressful.<br /><br />Trust me. From the ones I was in that had 6K DPS they where on wipe 13 or 14, to their own admission. 6K can not do the dungeons.<br /><br />Would it kill you and others to help them? I think not.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-42731553641832909622012-05-20T15:51:37.089-04:002012-05-20T15:51:37.089-04:00People complain about 6-8k?

The only normal heroic you can't do with 3 dps at 6k is Grim Batol. Course, if you have all the dps doing that then you need to do the fights properly, the healer needs to not heal the dps at all if the healer isn't overgeared (no standing in fire or eating cleaves), you need to cc, you need to have a kill order, you need to discuss who is doing what on bosses with multiple things for the dps to do.Mittenznoreply@blogger.com
