It's been my experience that most front line melée act like they're 12. There are exceptions. Rockius I'm looking at you. You don't seem to be one of them. Healing requires a lot of patience IMHO. A lot of melée and overzealous nukers make healing more difficult than it should be. Same rule applied to FFXI. Nukers tend to be more seasoned mmo vets who know better than to roll melée dps or heal. Tanks, IMHO, are the real tough guys.

As for Ryuko, I only bust my load from behind. That's how us rogue type roll.

Yeah, I definitely think tanks are the real tough guys. They need to have a LOT of patience when people are constantly nuking and attempting to steal hate (which some dps'ers do on purpose, or in wow... trying to 'top the meters'), or with healers who suck. If you suck at DPS, people will rank on you, but if you suck at healing... people will be PISSED. In FFXI, it was much easier to notice if a healer was slacking than if a dd was... and that's mostly because there was no simple way to watch damage output unless you ran a parser, which still wasn't as accurate as it could have been. So, healers, in a sense, were much more easily weeded out than dd's were... However, there is a bit of complication in dealing damage, so I'm not about to say healing is harder... just much different. As a healer, my eyes are almost constantly in one place on the screen -- the health bars of the people I need to be watching. Because of this, I'll be more likely to notice health even if I'm not a designated healer... simply because I'm used to it.

My favorite thing ever is when I see a rogue before they attack me. Rare, but it does happen. I like to face them as I see them coming, or pounce them if I'm in cat form (and they decide to go after someone else before going after me)... that really adds insult to injury.

I will agree.... most melee are complete retard 12 year olds. Thats what makes the good ones shine. And tanking, ezmode.

Tanking is easy mode? Tanking is far and away the most difficult type to play as in an MMO for multiple reasons. You are expected to have some degree of leadership, people will not under any circumstance let you into their group undergeared and when you fail at your task it is usually embarassingly obvious and results in insta-wipes. As a person who has played all types, Tank > Melee DPS > Healer > Caster DPS as far as the effort needed to be considered DECENT. You can argue how hard it is to be EPIC for each type but my statement stands true there too. Getting geared and experienced as caster deeps/heals was a joke. It took hours to be Naxx ready. Melée deeps about a week. Tank? 2 and a half weeks. And consider: My tank had better gear into 80 than my caster deeps and melée. Even for heroics, people expect a tank to start 80 epic'ed out ready to CARRY a group through mindlessly.

[Dankdragon]

Tanking indeed is ezmode. Keep hate. Don't die. Keep the mob positioned correctly. Gear isn't hard. This is MMOs we are talking about. EZMODE to get gear, not like irl where you have to pay out the ass.

NOOOO -- YOU FELL INTO THE TRAP TOO. Don't do it, Inutock!!!

[Dankdragon]

The only trap around here is the poor unlucky soul that ends up with you Ryuko. Thats the ultimate trap. Like jail, or the streets. Its bad news. Ryuko, the leading cause of erectile dysfunction.

[MEGATRON]

idk dude she alway kept mine up. maybe its all the weed you smoke. i hear that casues boner problems

[Dankdragon]

I do, and I'd hit it. She friggen cosplays and plays MMOs. And just like me, she enjoys feeding trolls at the ki zoo. IMHO it's a match that has potential. Must love squirrels though. It's a potential dealbreaker.....

Side note: Traps were meant to be sprung bitches!! Goes for Ryuko and Jay.

Lawl, I was in like... 10th grade when that picture was taken... and it is a VERY unflattering picture... (Mainly because I sucked at face-makeup and the 'scars' that were meant to be mithra marks actually came out looking like shit smeared on my face... No, I'm not exaggerating.) As a comparison, I'm twenty-one now -- a senior in college. So, this is six/seven years later.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to show you my raunchy profile picture of not... which also happens to be my 'default' Facebook photo right now. Seriously. It's raunchy. LOL.

As a friend I would tell you that is the worst idea in the history of bad ideas. However as a guy on the interwebs, I say: PICS.NAO!

On a side note, <3 iPhone.

[Inutock]

Heh sent adds to both of you and I agree with the 'tron. I've seen much more raunchier pics.

[Dankdragon]

Raunchy would be that pic with you bent over and one of your hands on your ass cheek, and the angle from behind. But seriously, whoever did your hair.... Shoot them rofl.






First one is me about to head out and do my stuff. Second one is me doing some awesome stuff with some omfg rlyrlyrly cute girls. Third one I don't do anymore (drinking, not driving. Racing is one of my things mofo!) and the 4th one is me on a college class trip and blowing a duck kazoo at some cute girls.

I actually cut and dye my own hair, kthx, but if you don't like it then, it's probably because I just got out of the shower and it was crazy all over the place. If you don't like it when it's dry, fuck you. <3
