Your DPS/healing/tanking can rock, but you suck

Posted 06-17-2008 at 01:33 PM by Thist
I have noticed this before, but more often now that I pug a lot - there are people who do amazing dps/healing/tanking, but suck horribly despite this. There are two main reasons that they suck - not paying attention/listening, and lack of mobility.

Day 1 as a Prot Warrior

Posted 06-17-2008 at 10:19 AM by Muggs
Ok ok, so, as some of you know, I've tried MS/PVP and I've tried PvE Fury on my warrior, couldn't get a feel for it, thought about canning him, so, my last ditch attempt to save him....

So, i've been looking for a druid to see if i can push to 2k before the season ends, so i only have to upgrade my chest before starting to change all my gear. No luck what-so-ever. I guess all the good healers are taken right now, and while doing the typical "MS Warrior LF Decent Druid for 2's, blahblahblah (se habla espaņol)" crap, i even got a whisper from a hunter.

Tonight we decided with my rogue friend that carries me all over the arena ratings <3, that since our...
