But really, it’s the idiots who don’t know how to do the damn instance that should be ground up into stew. I was raiding with one of my favorite/ally guilds, Vile Darkness, and there were some people in there who just didn’t get it. Poor Morkill was doing his best to help everyone else out by tanking instead of dpsing, and everyone else just sort of…failed. And all he got to show for being nice was a huge repair bill. Not everyone was failing, mind you, and one time we just got really unlucky, but…well, here is the fight in it’s simplest form, with the problems we encountered embedded in it.
Don’t stand in front of Malygos. He like’s to OM NOM NOM everyone in his path except the tank, which he chooses to LICK LICK LICK and savour until he’s done teasing the raid and goes I R HUNGRY OM NOM NOM and we’re all dead.
Kill the fucking spark. Malygos with the spark is like giving a 6 year old a paint gun on your white carpet. Bad things happen. Your dps isn’t that great. DKs, your job is to Death Grip the spark. Just like it’s a rogue’s job to kick on KT, or a Priest’s job to mind control on Rasuvius. I don’t care if it interrupts your dps. You’re not that great. If we’re dead because of the spark, we’re dead. When you raid, it’s a team effort, and you use your utility or gtfo and lrn2play your class.
BUBBLES SAVE YOU! Don’t stand around like an idiot trying to stay in range of the Blood Elf on the disk flying away from you. Get in the damn bubble. Its’s big and purple and keeps you alive. Dead dps = no dps. Of course, if you’re dead, then precious heals won’t be wasted on idiots.
MELEE GET ON THE EFFING DISKS! You’re worthless otherwise. And look! You can fly! Everyone loves flying. So do it.
When you’re on the dragons, you stack. When Malygos looks at you, SHIELD! Remember that whole “Dead dps = no dps” thing? Yeah. Goes for healers here too. You have a shield that mitigates damage. Why not use it? You can always stack more DoTs. But not if you’re dead. It’s hard to do things when you’re dead. Try it sometime. It won’t work.
Also. Don’t be that asshole who flies ahead of the rest of the raid. Everyone will hate you. You’re the reason that, at 4%, everyone is dead because we have to try to fly around the storms that are all around us. If you don’t know what you’re doing, which you probably don’t, /follow the guy with the icon over his head and stop moving. If you think you know what you’re doing, you probably don’t. In fact, unless you’re the guy with the icon over your head, assume you don’t know what you’re doing. Everyone else is assuming it too. I assume I don’t know what I’m doing, even though I do. Because you know it? I’d rather get through the raid, get my achievement, and get my loot than try to prove how 1337 I am. No one is 1337 when they are dead. Just poor.
So, grow the fuck up and play.
And Maly? Go fuck a wall.
