yeah i use to solve the question a lot just by saying “Well i can crit a 22000 on a Troll Mage >:)” … they usually just let me in after that or kick me soon as i steal the aggro from the warrior xD… i don’t care i had the best gear in the game at that time xD now tier 6 is a far memory… i think they are on tier 11 or 14 somewhere around that xD… one time i stole the aggro and the whole raid started to run out of the instance cursing at me thinking i was going to get them all killed… i got the loot all to my self… Woot! for 120% dodge glitch on Broken Tier 6 gear! … and darn u blizz for Nerfing it…

I think I’m in the minority here and actually play WoW just for fun, and sometimes go on quests with others…..don’t get me wrong, I LOVE playing WoW….but sometimes I feel as if I’m missing something when people start talking like this.
And please don’t go all “You must not be a serious WoW player” If I was, I’d probably be kicking -ss in a raid group right now, not laughing that I’m only a lvl 27 Tank.
And for the record, what’s DPS?

I got 16K once on Hodir, so I guess that’s the answer! Context-free questions about DPS are better than gearscore, but not by much.

I just give them a number they expect, and when I don’t match the number in the raid I just blame lag or faulty keyboard.

When people ask “LFM DPS for Naxx25, 3K+ required” I always laugh at them in public. “If you require 3K DPS from the last DPS spots, that must mean that you have some really crappy DPS in the group now.” That’s especially fun if the advertiser is a pure DPS class.

I hate those questions. Cant people just invite and give other players a chance? If they’re bad they can still sort of put them on a list so they know that this player sucked..

And when I was in group with people asking numbers, the answers were hardly ever correct.

While I can’t say I play dps ever, I do play tanks. My favorite type of tank to play is a proc pally. with the right gear you can heal so fast and take so little damage that you can solo most non-dungeon elites. granted it takes like 5-7 mins but you can do it.

I think being a tank is more about not dying than it’s about having hp. I prefer pallys for this reason; they can self heal and have access to the best armor. it’s rather silly how much a proc spec pally can resist damage with the right talents and gear. even at low levels just picking decent armor you can stand there and take the heat of a mob 4-5 levels higher than you (i’ve done it). what you have to get used to is not killing them quickly. the goal is to win by attrition so that they run out of healing and attack juice (mana energy etc) before you do.

I could go on with my thoughts on current game proc pallys but I’ll leave it there because this is not the right venue.

As a newly made 80 ret paladin I have some decent gear but I dont break 2k dps. I tried to explain that I have nice AoE for packs in HCulling but the peorson threw a fit at me saying if i cant single target do 2k then AoE DPS is worthless.

So I went and did a ToC instead and had fun and 2 hours later he was still looking for his 2k min dps for Hculling
