Where it’s really true is that stupid dps can expect to die. They shouldn’t abuse the other two roles and assume that they (individually) are the responsiblity of the tanks and healers.

Too much buck passing these days both in RL and in game

“If the tank dies, it’s the healer’s fault. If the healer dies, it’s the tank’s fault. If the DPS dies, it’s their own f**king fault.”

Words to live by.

It changes from enjoying the game at a slower speed, milking the last drop of fun out of it, into hanging on every die roll.

The randomness of the die roll is the only joy left…

Once you discover the Dungeon Master has been too free with the gear and you OP the content, the only thing left is the dice roll and turning on your fellow players in boredom.

Pretty soon the die rolls are an annoyance and the only thing left is to destroy you mates…

I enjoy an fps, but I don’t want your dog food in my cat food.

However just because we can with one group, doesn’t mean we should with all groups.

Then to get snarky when we can’t do everything in a pug is just childish…

Thanks for your great comments Holly!

I know I am good at healing (my mates tell me so and ask me to heal)

I’m not so good at healing stupid, but that’s more perssonal choice… I mean prioritization.

Neckbeards (as Krizz calls them) better have self heals.

There’s no question that a tank-healer bond is sacred. When I run with VikingMetal there is never a question about which of us screwed up… Shit just happens sometimes.

Knowing that a quick “me” will bring him coming without him thinking I’m hanging shit on him or going “Me,me,me, I’m so important”.

We all screw up… Do Ensidia one shot everything, never a death?

Would guilds be clearing raids on the night of release if they didn’t have members in PTR learning them for a month before release?

Krizz is putting his tree form away because the bastards have gotten him down… don’t let them do the same to you… Just let them go down in a sea of green.

First thing is, paladins get a lot of mana back period. They get mana back when they judge, they get mana back when they dodge, block, or parry thanks to sanctuary, they get mana back from heals, in essence, they get a lot of friggin mana back.

The other thing is…..divine plea is on a 1 minute cooldown, 1 minute…..that means they reasonably could stop every 1 minute for a mana break for everyone else.

The last thing is there is such a thing as mana conservation, I know on my pally unless there are just some insane dps, I don’t have to hit every one of my buttons and do max tps, half the time not even needing to drop a second consecrate because holy shield and hammer have enough threat at that point to sai l through the end of the pull. Just being a little more mana conservative can help a ton if for whatever reason divine plea should *gasp* wear off because heaven forbid you let that other source of mana (your healler and their heals) have time to get off cooldown

To say that a pally tank has to chain pull is like saying that a warrior or bear has to chain pull, it’s nice, but, it’s certainly not necessary.

it’s either that or people just want maximum time:emblem ratio.

A group I just left (as in we finished the instance), the Hunter pulling 6k dps requested we just go straight to the end boss… he only wanted his emblems of Frost…

Everyone else. the whole loot bag.

It was all very civil.. but maybe we need to be setting expectations
