Because apparently, counting in increments of two is too damn hard...

You really could have just made a macro like most tanks. It's really simple. Tanks have very little to do in that fight and you could've saved everyone a lot of trouble.

While I agree that making a macro is simple, I wasn't asked to. I suppose you missed my point no.2 ? "Saving trouble" ? Counting in increments of TWO is TROUBLE ? If you say so.

Tanks have "very little to do" ? We both have all classes at 50 and I'll guess we both have basic knowledge of them at the least. You're basically telling me it's harder as DPS ? I simply do not agree with you. I didn't need to be told every second thunderstorm when I attempted this fight as DRG.


EDIT : By the way, what I said about VoIP applies EXACTLY on macros as well.

EDIT 2 : I actually forgot to mention something. I wasn't doing the 1-tank method. There also was a WAR present, he could get on TS but could not talk. Care to explain to me why I'M the one who gets blamed when he could have done the same thing ? I mean, the WAR could definitely also make a macro if I follow the reasoning. Yet I wouldn't even blame him for our wipes. The wipes were caused to non-picking of the orbs, and nothing else. Tanks weren't at cause here.

I disagree with your statement. You see you dont need a marco to do any of this, what you need is a party to pay attention to what is going on. If dps tanks or healers cant pay attention that is an issue that needs to be addressed and the only players who can address that issue are the one's who cant or refuse to pay attention. I understand it needs teamwork but again if some one isnt paying attention for whatever reason teamwork starts with everyone not just a tank or a healer or a dps. No one person should be responsible for everyone else because they CANT be bothered to pay attention. Yes a macro might have helped but we wasnt in that group so we cant say for sure it would have.

In my experience with other players during fights is those that are having issue's either dont know the fight or they know the fight and are watching T.V. or they are doing something other than paying attention to whats going on. Remeber every fight is scripted so there is no reason what so ever for things like this to happen. Team work needs to be from everyone and players need to be responsible enough to pay attention to whats going on around them, regardless who has the harder job or not.
