I got in a heroic AN run on my mage a few weeks back with some players all from the same guild. My gear at the time was sub par for heroics, my dps was a bit lame compared to people in epics. But at the end, they were thanking me for being a great addition to the group, for doing things like pulling adds off the healer, and staying alive to the end (one of the other dpsers didn't move out of the spikes and died half way through the Anub fight).<BR/><BR/>Just last night, I was in a h-VH run where our best geared dpser d/ced and didn't come back, causing us to wipe on the second boss. We retried with just 4 people and managed to down the first and second bosses again without him. The biggest credit goes to our healer and tank for managing to keep going, but if either of us two dpsers had died or hadn't kept up the dmg, we would've wiped eventually due to our healer running out of mana, or the boss beating his healing out (first boss was the void guy with increasing aoe shadowbolts, we killed him as we all died, and tank dealt the final blow when she was at 1% hp).<BR/><BR/>Those were cases where everyone had to be on the ball and dps was given the opportunity and credit for bringing their a-game. But those were unusual cases. In the normal situation, you've just got a bunch of people in epics gathering up all the mobs in a pull and aoeing them down. So I'd say that there just simply isn't any reason for dpsers to have to be good atm in WoW. =/Verilazichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950924751154692401noreply@blogger.com
