I've been running H Bot alot recently. I want the tank staff. Dont ask me why, I just do. I dont want to farm the rep for Earthwarden, and we're not going into SSC to kill trash for me, so ya, I want it. It gives me something to do before wrath, and 5 badges, even now, is useful in its acquisition.
I PuGed it yesterday with some folks who, needless to say, outgear me. My druid still has 4 blues in her tank set. We had an elemental shammy in the group. I would be hard pressed to remember grouping or even seeing an elemental shammy in the past.....er, 6 months. I didnt think too much of it, I just went to work.
Problem was, dude liked to cast a chain lightning before I get a Swipe off, or even while the pack of angry BE's are running around a corner to get to me. Our T6 illidan downing Priest warned him off, he didnt listen. We cleared though, no deaths. The aggro wasnt an issue because I guess I tried harder or something.
He whispers me later asking if I want to tank H SP for him. I said sure.
Group comp was 3 shammys, dps warrior, myself. 0 cc. none. This made the MC's a problem later on.
So Mr.Lightning needs to get off his chains before I get any kind of AoE aggro, and we start going at it. Im sure we've all had the convo before
"Back off of the AoE's before I get some AoE aggro please"
"Well maybe hold aggro on more than one mob please *snicker snicker*"
We've all been there.
So, I reach my breaking point before Quag. He peels one off me, I let it annihilate him. (with a little *snicker snicker* of my own tossed in)
After the pull we get in the whisper war, maybe you'e had that before, where the guy says you owe him his repair bill plus interest and your first born, blah blah. I asked him a simple question:
"Is this your first 70?"
"This is my 3rd 70, I know half the server"
"Well then half the server knows you suck"
And put him on ignore immediately afterward.
BAM! I made a tanking funny.

Perfect response...I will be the first person to offer the gold for a repair bill if I pull badly or feel lilke I made a noob mistake, but no matter what gear level either of you were, if he won't give you at least 3 seconds to establish, then he gets what he deserves.Posted 11-07-2008 at 03:09 PM by Tatt

Posted 11-07-2008 at 03:14 PM by hanago - Agreed... I so wish i had done this in the past however i was more nervous because they like to use my friends dps as shields by standing right next to them. Being my dps people are very very good they try and contain the mob with any cc they are capable of be a mages frost nova or w/e and that could get them killed.
I envy you lolPosted 11-07-2008 at 03:17 PM by LxDraco
