Things you don't want to hear your squadmates say

Group healing IS fail at non-AoE boss unless 3 or more people go aggro ping pong.

If it's just a battle between 2 persons, no group heal is needed.

How to deal with these aggro pingpongers ->

1. IH the excepted tank -> IH for sure the strongest DD who has chances to get aggro -> keep IHing both if the strongest DD gets aggro
2. IH tank, wellspring ready for the aggro stealer, then IH him/her if tank hasnt got aggro back
3. BB

Enough said.

the problem is, in a lot of squads, nobody wants to try to be the tank on duty, so you have to guess who of the DD is going to be the target.... and stack some IH or wop on him/her

anther that... CHB is the only valid choice to use until you have any idea on who are really taking the aggro, or who are the 2 to 4 people pingponing like it's 10 olympic pingpong games in 1 minute. About the time you have any idea what to espect you are already done with a BH or at the last boss.

Yesterday in Metal BH, level 100 barb shows up and I see he is holding the level 50 General Summer dual hammers from supply stash. I wait awhile to see if he will change weapons. Finally I ask, do you have any other weapon? He links Scarlet Axes but then says he does not have enough str to use them. So I say ok, but you have something better than level 50 hammers, right? Something closer to your level? He doesn't speak English very well so says a few things I don't understand. I finally ask again if he only has level 50 hammers to use. He says yes, but he will be "tankier" with the hammers.

*facepalm*

You could easily tell who's going to be the tank if you were slightly familiar with how damage is calculated. For example, every BH I go to, I check the gears of all the BMs and Sins for three things:
1. If they have a comparable weapon damage to me
2. If they have 5 aps
3. If they have Jones' Blessing

From there I can draw some pretty decent estimates:
Jones with 5 aps and +7 refine = Roughly what I got (As I don't use Jones)
5 aps +7, no Jones < Less than me (As I'm 5 aps +10, no Jones)
5 aps +10, no Jones = Roughly what I got (If BM, then less than me)

What I do with these estimates? Well, depending on which boss we're doing, it decides on how I play. For example, if it's Metal and I'm the highest DD, then I'll end up tanking, which means I should reserve my Genie for an emergency AD. If it's Abaddon and there's two or three DDs comparable to myself, then I will autoattack against the boss as it's likely to die instantly. If it's Abaddon and I'm the highest DD, I'll use skills and Chill of the Deep to let the barb tank.

At lower levels, any sin that tries to tank is pretty much screwed.

b:angry Please stack BHs, please. People are getting out of hand again with the "brb, gotta hand in." Especially with this super-cool idea of the Head Hunter at major cities. It is making 51 a nightmare. And 39, since it is close enough to Lost.

At least the guys flying to 39/51 from Lost have a shorter route than the ones flying from Arch.

Hearing any class doing **** statements about something and being completely wrong, for example "Flesh Ream is bad" or "Blessing of the Purehearted is better than Ironheart Blessing".

Last week i did a caster and we had 2 clerics so i told the other mystic to stop using beffuding creeper since cleric elemental seal (magic debuff) is better and the ''pro'' wizz 101 said ''The debuff is not better cause the class it goes with your gears, more you have better gears more the debuff is better'' .... great example of power leveling.

From a cleric: ''I don't have mp pots, if someone don't give me some i don't heal''... serisouly? I can understand someone forget to check if enough mp pots or forget to take some, but there's a way to ask it more nicely.

From a venomancer red name: ''Put your squad protection on so you don't kill me with AoE''.... We tried during 5 minutes to explain her that we cannot kill people in our squad (we wasn't in AeU) and she was still saying to put squad protection on...<- again a great example of power leveling.

From a venomancer you ask to lure: ''Sorry i don't have pet'' ... lvl 100 veno no pet... pro... use tame at least, ''Oh really? that work?'' ....zzz i'm not veno and i know it work, how the **** you don't know it.

When we ask a cleric to BB and he answer ''No need'' than 30 seconds later everyone is dead including the cleric.... zzz when people ask you to BB for a pull there's a reason.

So yea in resume i don't wanna hear that people don't know the stuff about their class or people that don't listen, from a squad lvl100+ i expect people to be good and know what they doing and know the game.

Well, the thing is, a lot of these "advice givers" probably do not play the class in question.

For someone who's never played a cleric, knowledge of which boss happens to interrupt BB isn't really a priority. Most tanks only know that BB gives a constant heal and a hefty reduction to the damage that they take. Because let's face it, if IH gave a 50% damage reduction, you would see people using that instead.

The same thing is true for barbs, though. I've seen tons of barbs who just run into a group of mobs and run back, usually resulting in unnecessary deaths, all because they do not know about heal aggro. This actually makes sense, though, since the whole "barb pulls to BB" thing is very uncommon outside of FCC and BH100. For someone who's never done FCC and has gotten to 100, it's very possible that they've missed the idea behind heal aggro. After all, if you don't know about it, then a cleric stacking IH on you before you pull just kinda looks like stacking heals on you so that you don't get hit while pulling the mobs together, rather than it being heals for when you're busy roaring the mobs.

One of the reasons I personally chose to play DDs instead of healers or tanks was because of this kind of experience-related knowledge. As an Archer or an Assassin, I really don't need to know which boss can be interrupted and which boss uses a debuff or such. Of course, that knowledge will make things easier for everyone, but it's not a requirement. Similarly, that knowledge will make soloing the same stuff easier. Hell, I only recently found out that you can sleep/stun/silence Blackhole Devourer and I only learned that you can interrupt the debuff of Torturess Venerator when I first tried soloing BH Seat.
