Thats fine, of course it makes a difference, but its just retarded that for instance, i recently got passed over for normal magisters terrace because "ur gear is scrub noob", without any discussion about spec or playstyle, then chose some spastic mace rogue because he was bothered to play 100 battlegrounds and buy the arena s1 gear (which isn't even very good pve gear anyways).
That I'll agree with, especially the pve/pvp gear argument too.
Sometimes though if you don't know a person, you have to have some criteria which to judge them by, and gear is an easy one.
I've seen people in both pvp and pve gear that is mind blowing, but they play so bad I can only imagine they botted most of it. :/
"Why yes, I AM going to trap and kite the mob with the little raid icon above his head EVERY PULL... why do you keep attacking him?!"
Ice trap pulls are really the worst. Trigger-happy mages or warriors with absolutely no restraint will break my ice trapped mobs all the time and then have the balls to tell me either it was my fault for trapping him so close to the other mob or yell at me to lay another one down in the middle of my cooldown.
Let's also not forget the slew of people who refuse to play their class. In Outlands I've encountered Warriors that won't tank, priests that won't heal, a druid that won't buff or resurrect, and especially, shamans that won't lay down totems.
A bad hunter is way worse than any other badly played class.
I dunno, I think if the main tank or the healer(s) suck then any group would have more severe problems. I do agree though that a bad pull or bad ice trap can be a disaster too. I consider myself more than competent in groups, though it's not exactly too difficult for a hunter to fulfill his role in a group or raid.
In a difficult five man, I think all characters share a similar level of responsibility because you can't do it unless everyone is staying focused.
Way more stressful, atleast for me, being a main tank or healer though.
heh kill count.....Prebc I had 54k kills after bc a total of 56k I just don't play the game anymore :(
I always found tanking to be much less stressful than healing on my druid. I was pretty good with aggro management, so I basically relied on my healer (who was and awesome holy pally) to keep the group working. It was always fun trying to push him as hard as I could by chain pulling. When he and I switched roles after a few months, I really didn't enjoy the stress of being the healer. I think I healed 2 or 3 arc runs, then specced feral again.
Being ranged DPS is the best though, especially as a lock. Don't even have to worry about CC responsibilities for the most part, aside from the occasional banish. I also love it when people in pugs freak when I fear juggle. They see a mob fear up and everyone fucking freaks.
Despite WoW's flaws, I have had a lot of fun with it. Drunken 5 man instances with 4 mates on vent is really really good times.
p.s. I'll transfer my lock to SH if arjue takes his rogue over.
Every bad hunter I've ran with told someone else or me how to play their/my class and in at least my case, they were fucking out of their minds wrong.
Bad hunters are the fucking worst thing ever. Can't trap for shit, can't pull for shit, roll on my fucking leather gear, I just want to kill them sometimes.
I got bored last night and respecced to combat daggers. Its pretty crazy for PvE, but oh my god does it suck for PVP (coming from subt daggers). Subtlety daggers is amazing and really underrated, but the ridiculous spike damage from it makes it fairly shit for PvE. My garrotes and ruptures won't be nearly as affective either, which sucks. hopefully slice and dice can cover the loss.
Maybe when the GF stops playing lol.Quote:
