"First time here"

[Chrysania]

This is no excuse to not have any clue what a boss does, run around face pulling packs, and standing in every single red circle on the ground, while showing up in white gear.

Google exists use it.


*this really only applies to the level 50 dungeons/raids

Teach people that say 'first time here' or STFU. If you can't be bothered to take the time to teach them, what gives you the right to expect them to take the time to study vids and go looking up strats? One good 'I can't be bothered' deserves another. Sure, one does one's self a favor to look these things up beforehand, but one also does one's self a favor to take a few seconds to type 'Ok, this boss: phase 1 is tank and spank, starting at 25% he'll fly over and breath frost across 1/3 of the floor. Starting at about 50% on he'll do this twice at a time and start leaving frost patches all over that you'll have to avoid. Questions?"

"Yeah. Does he have a big stupid cleave?"

"Yes he does; frost breath. The tank should point his face away from the rest of the party, and the rest of us should make this easier for the tank to do as much as we can."

"Ok. Ready!"

Fight on. That's all it takes; I know, I do it all the time.

There is no boss fight you can't explain rather simply and quickly, if you mean to. The hardest one I can think of to explain would probably be the last boss in Qarn, 'cause some of the fiddly bits can take some elaborate description to adequately describe in useful fashion (Usually its best to hit it once so new folks can see what you mean, even if it means wiping it once or twice so they can see rather than having to read a fangry novel about it).

You want better people to play with, especially at 50? Teach them. If you don't...really now, you're not really doing anything to solve your own problem then, are you? And you're being worthless to them too. Grats.
