I know everyone else says tanks are hard to find, healers next hardest to find and DPS are a dime a dozen.<br /><br />I will tell you the hardest thing for me to find is a good dps. Seriously. I can get heals. I have tons of health and armor and can make almost any healer work. I need good dps. <br /><br />Here are a couple of things that make me put people on ignore.<br /><br />1. Pulling for me. Seriously if someone else besides the tank pulls I usually drop. I don't give a shit about waiting 30 mins. I'll fish or something else.<br /><br />2. Constantly asking for or posting dps scores. I would rather have someone in the group who does less dps but lets me get a solid threat buildup before starting aoe.<br /><br />3. Telling me to change the spead at which I tank. Either going to fast or slow. If I am going too slow it is becuase I am waiting on healer mana. And if you need mana I will not slow down. Drink up and catch up. Again I do not care about your DPS score.<br /><br />4. Did I mention I don't care about your DPS score?<br /><br />jjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-64259900003522842562010-04-08T22:14:34.000+02:002010-04-08T22:14:34.000+02:00Those are great ideas( the last ones my fav!)

I know as a tank I will queue up as dps just so I don't have to deal with all the dps yelling gogogogo!! the whole time I am in a run. as dps I can just be quiet and go about my run no worries. also as dps I can actually do some dailies or some mining as a tank its queue up go and done.

Way to take one for the team! All the other dps now have a faster que. It is just too abd about your own 40 minute waits.<br /><br />Thanks for the list!ReversionLFMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-42509746760155464512010-04-08T20:30:07.000+02:002010-04-08T20:30:07.000+02:00You bring an excellent point to light. It's e...You bring an excellent point to light. It's easy for someone in very good gear to take that gear for granted. I know that when I dps on my Death Knight, I do tend to run wild in the 5-man Heroics. I overgear them to the point of silliness. And being a Death Knight, I have many self-heals and "get-out-of-wipe-free" cards to play when I get low on health. Yes, it's a lot of fun to just completely maul the NPCs in those dungeons, but Shy has a point. It does create unwarranted stress on the healer and/or tank. <br /><br />So now the eternal debate: Do I shape up or use Option 5.Cannaenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296072451123411896.post-15712358002389029442010-04-09T05:35:56.000+02:002010-04-09T05:35:56.000+02:00The number of asshat dps in runs increases on week...The number of asshat dps in runs increases on weekends, and as a regular tank on 3 characters I have a very short fuse for rude players. I leave group, switch toons and queue up as tank again. Easy.<br /><br />All players need to be aware that their are people at the end of the pixels, and have a degree of tolerance. Although it does make me mad that we can't kick after 5 mins when I know for a fact somebody will be a pain.TyphoonAndrewnoreply@blogger.com
