"I was healing the daily heroic yesterday, with a good tank, and some of these “less experienced / competent / geared dps” you mentioned. At the end of the run I posted the dps from my damage meter addon, and the tank came in second, having dealt more damage per second than two of the dps players while still holding aggro and tanking perfectly well.
On the other hand, while we did have some death, we *did* succeed in finishing the heroic and the daily heroic quest. So while the two dps were clearly less good than you’d want them to be, they were “good enough” for the run.
Teaching a guildie how to do more dps is hard. If the dps is a shadow priest, at least I’d have an idea what rotation to use etc., but if the dps is a hunter, I can’t teach him anything, because I don’t know myself. And telling somebody “your dps sucks, go to Elitist Jerks to improve” usually isn’t going down very well."
Tali parole, pur essendo piene di buoni sentimenti e intenzioni, sono poco lungimiranti e attente al bene proprio e del "boostato". Ecco cosa ho risposto:"Tobold, you fall always into the same mistake. You can’t teach bad players to play well. You can’t teach anything to anyone if he doesn’t want to learn. So either you’re the class leader and you threaten a gkick if he doesn’t spec the way you want, or he will ask you how can he improve and do better dps. Then you can teach him. People also don’t trust free advices, and they usually learn better if they pay for it. They take free advices as a personal offence, something that will ruin their reputation, especially if you are talking to them in the party chat.
One should take also in account that some people don’t want to improve their dps. They just want to chat, get epix, see big critz, and have lol-time with their friends. Those will always be carried. They are slave of the gear myth, thinking that everyone above 3k dps is a no lifer raider. Even if you make every effort you can to disprove this, they won’t believe you, cause this myth is exactly what they need to feel confortable with their 1.5k dps. Admitting that you don’t need ilvl 226 items to pull 3k, would be admitting that they suck. And as social people, you don’t want to. You’d rather cry and kill yourself like Ajax.
Everyone has been a noob, me included. But I learned by myself. My first raid was a maggy pug where I joined as a dps warrior with a fury/prot hybrid spec and wielding 1H/shield. That still makes me laugh. I didn’t know anything about the game. In that raid another warrior whispered and pointed to me my foolness. Some week after I was reading the EJ forums, and now I’m a poster too. This without anyone teaching anything to me.
Thanks God wotlk heroics have a huge error tolerance. This said I don’t mind pugging heroics with fresh 80 or blue geared guys. I don’t ask for 2k+ dps or epic achievement. As long as the tank is overgeared, everything is fine. But it makes me really sad that I can’t distingue newbies and forever noobs."
