Two frostweave bags to the first person to post a screenshot of five guys in tuxes fighting in ICC. (One must be you) (offer only good on Hydraxis or Velen)

OK, I agree with the original post - if I put myself in the right circumstances. I've continued to do random UK/Nexus runs with the dungeon tool and my gradually-gearing-up shaman as healer. I have twice the spellpower I did a few days ago, so things generally go more smoothly. Today, after a slow and successful Nexus run with a tank who'd never been there, I had two unsuccessful UK runs with those fast-moving tanks. The first one, a...

I'm actually with ZeroMerc on this one, however not 100%. If the healer needs mana they should say so. If the tank sees the healer is REALLY low on mana they should also probably stop (situational awareness and all), however baring that, it is up to the healer to know how much mana they have, how much mana they will need/want (big difference there), and if those 2 numbers don't jive, make sure the tank knows. I mean, when should the...

I would like to point out that I never said I dont watch my healers bar... infact I do. I am more guilty that if a clothy dies doing the next pull before they are up. cause I dont really pay much attetion to the dps. This is something I work on and has only happened once in the last month or so.

The group was chatty, and we all had geared 80s. The tank's main character was a resto shaman, so he was...

I agree with what you're saying, but a lot of tanks go very slow. I appreciate a tank that makes the priest sweat a little.

I know that in running some of the heroics that we vastly outgeared I definitely pulled aggro more then my fair share - but the tank and the healer didn't care and it was a guild run. If I died then it was my fault. But again that's in a guild run where we know each other. I know as a tank I have probably run ahead and started tanking before realizing I was all alone. I died, rezzed, and came back and apologized because it was my...

Let's assume the group is in no danger if the tank speeds ahead while a DPS needs to mana up. To me the choice then becomes: 1. Tank pulls. The run goes a little quicker but the player in question's DPS is lower on the charts. 2. Tank waits. The run takes a little longer but the the player in question's DPS is fully realized. Put in that context who would seem to be less of a team player? I rarely run into people who complain a...
