Hey Metta,
I don't think anyone in my raid is clicking, but we do still have some kb turners, who nevertheless put out reasonable dps. Everyone on the regular raid team knows the gear / gem / reforge / enchant stuff, and are solid on the basics of their classes. We, and I think a lot of people at our level, just don't know how to kick it up to the next level. However, I think the mikepreachwow (it was incorrectly spelled in Defton's post) will help us a long way in that direction, and actually, the clicker as well too.
From what I've gathered from the videos I've watched, Mike Preach is raiding with Method, and has played just about every spec and role at a competing for world first level. What allows him to do this is the way he approaches the game. His vids teach his approach, and can help the complete noob just learning what a MMO is, to the new player who needs to learn the basics, to the player who is going from basics to advanced (where I think I and my raid is).
I love a bit of advice he gave with respect to LFR (paraphrased): Just assume that everyone else sucks, and that you will have to do it yourself. And really, that makes sense -- I'm a player who plays usually a couple of hours every day, and can play competently. I'm sure there are many players who play maybe a couple of times a week, who can't, and others who play 5-6 hours a day, every day, without fail, who can play at a high level. If I assume that everyone else in LFR sucks, and not rely on anyone else, the other 5-6 other people in the raid who know what they're doing will surprise me, and we will carry the raid. I just need to learn how to kick it up enough to carry 3-4 incompetent raiders. |
