Dunno about it in WoW but in EQ2, pulling aggro was considered a badge of honour by DPS and most resented the fact that they had to control it. They didn’t get that controlling their aggro was a skill just like tanking or healing. Letting them die a few times usually solved the problem

I let a DK guildie die in Mana Tombs the other day because he kept death gripping before the tank and while I was still drinking. I kept him up repeatedly through it, and then after one particularly harrowing pull where I brought him back from the brink of death, I gave him a final warning: “Don’t do it again, or I won’t heal you.”

He replied: “I don’t need healing, I’m blood.”

So the next time he did it I didn’t heal him, and he faceplanted as was incredibly obvious he would.

His next comment was a much less arrogant whisper: “omg, throw me a heal! XD” and after that he didn’t pull off the tank so much.

Later on, another guildie said he discouraged disgruntled healers from actually letting guildies die… pugs yes, guildies no… but that in this case (due to the commentary) it might have been warranted. Considering the results I think it was.

Healing makes me a meanie!

what you doing this weekend?

not sure if there is server downtime tonight. If not, then that should be one more level

After that it will depend on the Alliance success in the BGs, or my desire to quest/instance.

Been getting a bit more playtime lately

That % indicator referred to in the first comment sounds like the built in aggro indicator that is part of x-perl unit frames…

just sayin… I could be totally wrong…

Also, Lil Zupa is only level 73 or thereabouts, so I’ll chill back for a bit longer and keep farming honor on Big Zupa, (bought 2 pieces of furious last night coz i was honor capped!)

How long are 3 levels going to take you anyway?

I wouldn’t agree more Klepsacovic.

There is a reason that I’m Holy as a main spec and prot as Dual spec, Rets are the new Huntards, there is a lot of them, and 1% of them who understand how to play their class.

I had a ret do the same thing in a heroic like a week ago, funny enough he did the same thing and hearthed away, we continued without him and did heroic HOL in exactly 15 minutes

Oh no, I wouldn’t have told him to tank… and I tried my hardest to keep him up.

This was really the tank’s lesson to give the dps… it just happened that I could support his claim to tankdom by failing to keep the Pally up

He had hit the floor a couple of times before from memory…

But if I kept letting him die it would have been a little obvious.. me with full mana bar humming away quietly to myself… him face down…

Hey Zupa!

Not quite…

I’m rocking 67 at the moment, another 60% of a level and I am in Northrend… which means 2.6 levels till I am in the same BG bracket as you.

Just don’t hurry to 80… if you do you will be waiting for me to catch up!

Teabagging is ok… just make it peppermint!
it will leave a better taste in both of our mouths…

Sometimes death is an excellent teacher. I would suggest not telling him to tank, but instead just letting him die and explaining squishiness from there. If he’s ‘tanking’ at your suggestion, that just makes you look like a bad healer.
