However, I have been reading through blogs and this is one recurring theme. I completely agree with you.<br />Unfortunately - we people who read blogs understand the need for learning, even in the situation where it is possible to brute force. That's one of the reasons why we read blogs. The people who would benefit most from your advice - do not read.

I told the group that... reply was "nice". I just told them I am competent at my spec (unholy) and am not an aggro nor pull king. A little confusion for me with where to fly but the run went really well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-81444704354522317732009-12-22T06:31:32.097-05:002009-12-22T06:31:32.097-05:00When I heal Forge of Souls, I just let the Mirrore...When I heal Forge of Souls, I just let the Mirrored Soul target die. I'll throw up a Rejuv on him but that's about all. I don't support brute forcing encounters (especially something as simple as this). If we wipe, we wipe, and I'll tell the group why they wiped.Maayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353844429760938973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-30669364478987087762009-12-21T21:27:15.681-05:002009-12-21T21:27:15.681-05:00Heylo there, Bellwether. I dreamed that I was in ...Heylo there, Bellwether. I dreamed that I was in a pug with you last night so I felt it appropriate to drop you a line :)<br /><br />I have had great success using the random dungeon tool as a tank. My main issue is when somebody else is given group leader, and they clearly do not know how to be a group leader. <br /><br />I have found healing Forge of Souls to be difficult because pugs do not understand the concept of 'stop dps during mirrored soul', and I haven't healed Halls of Reflection yet. <br /><br />I always remember you as a capable and well geared player, the epitome of her class, so it troubles me to hear that you are having difficulties. I hope that your future pugs are more reasonable and less difficult for you to complete. <br /><br />Also, have a Merry Christmas :)Sky_Paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615313980327020682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-72235467083976774142009-12-21T09:04:50.776-05:002009-12-21T09:04:50.776-05:00I have used the dungeon finder tool a lot since it...I have used the dungeon finder tool a lot since it came out and have come up with a few rules that i stick to.<br /><br />If i'm on my healer i check the hp and dps of each member. so i know what to expect.

High dps attack the wrong mob, or just pull aggro, expect me to control everything even though i am new. Then it all turns to custard. Now if that happens, i ask for courtesy and if its not given then just leave. If i am not having fun why stay, other people will be better.<br /><br />Thanks again<br />Jjoraninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-39748589808703202892009-12-18T21:18:23.327-05:002009-12-18T21:18:23.327-05:00I've been very fortunate in my (Level 80, I sh...I've been very fortunate in my (Level 80, I should specify) pugs where the worst thing going on has only been someone needing on the frozen orb at the end.

I tried to heal her but it just wasn't possible.<br /><br />On the flip side I've had groups that really do know their stuff. Typically though those groups are also so well geared that it just doesn't matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-44153620484454569522009-12-18T12:35:19.223-05:002009-12-18T12:35:19.223-05:00I do try to ask.

I can actually state I'm new to this instance please point which way you want me to go. Also, any notes on this boss? Did another LFG PUG as DPS. They were running at full speed. My first time in that one. Caught some lip from a warrior during that run. I want to learn, just tired of the rude remarks. It's probably just a PUG thing...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567711670978953814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-57167993380902388222009-12-18T11:36:28.176-05:002009-12-18T11:36:28.176-05:00We killed the Maiden of Grief in HoS in 38 seconds...We killed the Maiden of Grief in HoS in 38 seconds last night. We one-healed Razuvious, finishing with both Understudies in excellent health. We 8-manned Sapphiron and killed her (him?) in record time.<br /><br />It's very, very easy to become complacent; a good smackdown from one of these 'easy' old bosses is actually a good thing once in a while, though if you're in a random PuG it may well get someone 'vote kicked'.jeffohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708074863929831135noreply@blogger.com
