Being a Good DPS in a Raid Setting is More than Just Big Numbers

Continuing the theme of my last post I will be discussing ways to increase your value to your raid group so that you will be more likely to keep a raid spot.

1) Don't Gloat, no one likes the guy that constantly brags about how he out DPS' everyone and tears into everyone for not being more like him. Also if you are gloating about high DPS numbers on fight where you should be doing more than just stabbing the boss, people will start to put you in your place very quickly and you may lose your raid spot for not understanding the basics of a fight.

Sun's Guide to Being a Better DPS Through not so Common, Common Sense

After taking month long breaks in between a week of play time for the 4 months I have come to find that a) people are just really bad at their classes or b) they just don't care about how they play.

I have joined some raid groups with people that out gear me which I admit currently would be some one if full heroic DS loot, but even in the past when I was not geared the way I am now I always found away to be competitive and push myself to the limit. After the break I will go into a few steps that can help improve your DPS with getting new gear or needing to have better gear then everyone else.

1) Dont stand in the fire, or the cookies tornadoes, walls of death or anything else that cause a insurmountable amount of damage really quickly. Also in this category and it applies to probably 90% of Dragons in the game don't stand in front of or behind the Dragon

The one about my break

I have been on an unintentional month long break and hadn't played till very recently. My house flooded and all the stuff that wasn't damaged got piled in my office and my computer was unreachable, which also meant no time spent in the beta as well. When i started to play again this week I found the urge to farm pets and mounts (non-warrior) stuff. So currently I have been farming Argent Crusade pets (I will farm for the mounts once done).

I also have been farming Heroic Magister's Terrance in hopes of getting my hatchling, white mount and orb. Funny story Tuesday night I was talking to a friend, who is currently farming KT (TK version) and Auttumen, about how much I hated KT because he never drops and of them. Well as soon as I killed him he was kind enough to drop the hatching for me.

I did raid the 2nd half of regular DS on Monday and won the trinket from spine finally. Now I just need Deathwing to drop my damn sword. Maybe this week? I do plan on completing my thoughts on the Warrior class in beta but I do not plan on actually doing any raiding or dungeon running so bear in mind that these opinions are based on questing and general thoughts on how they "would feel" in raiding.

MoP Warrior - Talents

A month ago I was playing on the beta servers (I know much has probably already changed), and I was playing my faithful Warrior. I found the quests to be fun even the ones where you were fighting over spawns. Something I forgot to mention in my first MoP Beta post is the fact that blizzard made possibly the best quality of life change (even better then moving pets and mounts from our bags) by allowing us to Mass Loot, no more digging through 20 corpses to get your loot just click one and done. I have my suspicions about Mass Loot however like might mass looting short you on items, as in does the system give you less items if you mass loot versus single looting?

My first step Specing and Glyphing below the break I will break down what I picked and why.

Hiatus

So I have been away from WoW now for about a month, with real life catching up to me and tha fact that all my friends are on a break as well. This by no means is the end for me, I plan on coming back for MoP and even my come back before too. I admittedly have been playing Diablo 3 and currently have my Barbarian to level 41 and on Nightmare Act 2. I know this isn't that far compared to most people, but I like to explore every nook and cranny on my way through a dungeon.

In the coming days I will post about my thoughts on the Barbarian and how it relates to or favorite WoW Warriros.
