Comment on Puggin’ annoying by Tankette

I never PUG. Almost every time I have been in a PUG I have regretted it. I won’t even tank for guildies if there’s more than 1 out of guild person in the party.

It is a long grind to get to exalted with Sons of Hodir. I hear rumors that you’ll be able to use the relics that drop all over for rep after the next patch but I don’t know if that’s true.

I took up cooking with the expansion since all the good buff foods require Northern Spice. I don’t really want to take up fishing but since the 40 strenght / 40 stam buff food requires a fish I may just have to. The fish are selling for 7g each on my server.

I don’t think it’s a drop. If I remember correctly, the first quest in the chain is at Stars’ Rest, and then takes you to the village near Naxxramas.

Ah dammit! I’ve entirely missed this questline! I must have missed an item that starts a quest? I didn’t do much in Dragonblight to be honest, really regretting it now, as I am only “friendly” with the Wyrmrest! I have heard there is something that drops that starts the quest “A strange device”, will I still be able to get that, or do I have to be on a specific quest?

I really need to set up my old marking macro… I always get beset by the people who think that if you mark things you’re ‘wasting time omg lets go already!’. On my tank I’m pretty brutal about talking to my healer and letting people die if they pull themselves or break cc early or nuke the wrong mob and thus I give them every opportunity not to be idiots by marking and telling which marks means what at the beginning of a run.

I very much agree that no marking, with a pug, will usually spell doom and gloom!

As a healer I am also noticing a trend for people not to bother with CC. They seem to think that ‘it’s ok, the tank can handle it the new instances are ezmode’ and don’t realise the healer in the back is having to blow cooldowns every fight just to keep up with the incoming damage as is, as you point out, the tank.

Chaos = bad.

For most heroics I mark but mainly just so I have an easier time managing the mobs with tab targeting. It is pretty rare that a pull will be handled with single target dps.

Our mages are starting out doing about 1500 dps when they hit 80 and have just the gear they had while leveling. We’ve had some rogues, one warlock and a DK that did poor dps but I think that was due to a player not knowing what to do as opposed to lacking gear or a class being bad.

Most Dangerous Creatures :

it goes like this :

1st Loken 147,669
2nd Sapphiron 103,586
3rd Keristrasza 84,352

Which doesn’t surprise me.

Easy for a DPS to say that. All they are doing is Pew Pewing. They will pull aggro, then blame the tank or healer when they die.
