I just hate seeing ppl pulling subpar numbers in good gear and when I jump on my DK alt I can consistently pull almost 2.9k in mix of ilvl200 and greens.

I think its the culture. To be a tank/healer you have to know what ur doing, check stat weights, etc. Most DPS just push buttons. Thats why those of us who have DPS alts do much better…because we hold ourselves to higher standards. Groups would never let a tank/healer get dragged thru because it would severely cripple the group. I refuse to carry DPS for the same reason regardless of whether we have others that can make up the difference.

Most dps can survive trash if tank OR heal is angry. If they team up, there are only few who will survive. Giving out those obivious lessons is fun! Giving them out early results in a much smoother run.

I like to think I know how to play, mainly because I research rotations, strategies, and proper gearing on each of my toons. So when I’m healing and I saw a dps DK with all 71pts in Frost I immediately tried to suggest that they go to one of the DK websites to look up a proper spec. He says he’ll switch his spec because he’s normally blood and unsurprisingly has an all 71pt blood spec which he insists gives more dps than he’s ever seen (supposedly he copied it from a high dps DK he saw). On top of that hte retadin is only doing about 1k dps so I simply stopped healing him. I reasoned that we were pretty much 4 manning it anyways and I didnt want to keep wasting mana on the obvious noob who gets cleaved in front of the boss, stands in fire and can’t even break even by pulling appropriate dps numbers. So he of course dies at the boss before Skadi in heroic UP and I refuse to heal him as he could have run back while the tank was afk. Next thing I know they kick me from group.

Note to self: when all the dps suck and they vote to kick you, hope that your random dungeon debuff has worn off.

Unfortunately the sort of person who behaves like that is unlikely to heed the lesson. They probably drive like a dick and swear at their mother too.

Yep, these idiots get put in the same category with those that like to stand in fire, poison, black pancakes of doom, etc. No taunt offs or heals for stupid or rude people.
