It can honestly be hard. and feel good at the same time. I normally top dps meters in my raids, and I always give myself the largest pat on the back possible. However, I am also aware that my guildies may not share the same enthusiasm (and some probably despise me in secret) which is why I do not ever gloat about it. Even when someone asks for a report, I let someone else go ahead and post it. Lesson here is action speaks louder than words, so why speak at all?.

Despite the debate about the use of DPS meters, it remains that a LOT of people use it. They already know who’s at the top. But keeping it silent, keeping it simple earns you a lot more respect. Even if the inner you wants to brag so bad, don’t. It’s hard to be humble, or at least play humble when you are innately not. >_>

lol…how worked up is everyone getting over this.
I could be wrong, but im fairly sure this is a 1-off rhetoric type comic. IE, gloaters are wankers, and noone will talk to you

as for when praise is appropriate…I totally agree @Advocate. Im my guilds MT, and will 100% agree that on 90% of fights the tanks get it way easy. PP and dream are a little more involved than normal, but as you say mostly you dont have to bother about the mechanics of the fight, just tank the boss in the right spot and dont lose aggro.

SO, yes, good dps IS worthy of praise. But in general its not just topping the meters, but making sure you’re in the right place at all times

Conceited much? I mean, I’m all for giving out advice to people to help them bolster their damage, but asking for PAYMENT? I’m sad to say I left WoW shortly before IC came out, so I don’t know how much things have changed, but I know that never did any of the top damage dealers show anywhere near such levels of conceit. Rather, because the same people always got the top 5, usually in the same order each week, it became sort of routine, and only in the rare occasion someone stepped up and competed did anyone really take notice.

Now, I was a hunter, so thus I was devoid of what seems to be the typical douchebaggery that rogues exhibit – this comic only furthers my prejudice of them. After every fight, whether I did more damage or less than my fellow hunters, I’d always chat with them to see what we could do better, whether it was on my shoulders to improve or theirs. Was I ever top DPS? A couple times, and though I did brag a bit, it was more out of shock that I somehow did better than those around me. Did I consider myself the best? Hell no, I knew I had a LONG way to go to be anywhere near the best, either on the server or in the world.

TL;DR: A little humility goes a long way.

Advocate might agree with me here. It might be MORE fun to heal an inexperianced group than a group which has run that dungeon two dozen times.

With an inexperianced group it is far more challenging to keep that party alive which makes your job a hell of a lot more fun and interesting. As a healer, there are times when I actually root for the dungeon against my team just so I get some serious action in…..and then still save all their pitiful lives!
