Wrong. You know why you are wiping...you know the problem...you know how to correct it, but you bungle it by just saying " The DRG keeps messing up". This is petty and juvenile. Fixing the problem by creating a difficult finger pointing situation just compounds the issue.

It's easy to point a finger at someone and say "You messed up, STOP IT!". Does that really fix the problem? Hell no!

If you know the problem and the obvious solution...THEN (clap) GIVE (clap) THE (clap) SOLUTION (clap) TO (clap) THE (clap) PROBLEM (clap)! When I see the person that's causing the problem I don't single them out. I just ask "Any questions on tethers?" or "Any questions on when to use knockback immunity? Noticed had quite a few deaths during that. No harm in clarification." Crazy enough....people ask questions. "Hey, yeah when do you pop knockback immunity? Can't seem to time it. Sorry!"

Literally 4-5 people respond in chat on solutions. The person that was messing up now knows what to do. This happens ALL the time in PF.

I truly believe EVERYONE in this game want's to be the best they can be, and strive for that. Some people have a hard time asking for help, or don't want to seem stupid, or waste peoples time explaining. They get anxiety from just asking a simple question and hoping they don't get comment that makes them virtually die inside.

I try to explain fights as if I'm teaching my kids something, I ask questions. They are smart, but sometimes can't see the forest past the trees. The solution is there, but sometimes you have to find a better way to explain it so they come up with their own solution.

Example: I had to explain the meteor towers during first add phase in SoS EX to a new DPS. We share the same tower and they weren't making it to the ring at all. I just said, "Hey, (name) did you have question on the meteor towers?" They said, "What meteor towers?" The whole party spammed stuff about towers. I said, "Glad you asked (name), after you take your flare marker to SE corner and it goes off...RUN to the tower by 2 marker. Good?" The person said, "OHHHH THAT ring....I was confused." I said, "No worries! , just ask question if you get lost." They said, "Well i'm doing my best...first time in here"

Not everyone is born a pro....it takes time and experience.
