World of Warcraft → Re: [Raiding] This is how we ROFL

I agree. It is impossible to level from 1 to 90 and not know TW's CD or how to CC...

Nah. I could totally see someone doing that and not knowing what either one means. Doesn't mean they haven't been kicked from a 1000 groups because of it though.

you obviously havent leveld a toon recently. tbh though, he leveled to 80 took a break, then leveled to 90. he stated he never raided. his words, "I hit 70, thought I beat the game, and walked away."

Thats all the more reason he should know his class. He level to 70 back when leveling was not quick, no BoAs, no exp nerfs to old zones... The things he was "newb" about are not exclusive to raiding. CC, Mage table, how heroism works, how to trade an item....these are all things that a basic player should understand.

hehe... I had forgotten that comment. I had also forgotten about how he discovered Arcane Brilliance in his spellbook... 2.5 hours into the raid, lol. the RL was trying to save TimeWarp for P4, but I asked if we could start blowing it for P1 hoping to have more survive to P3. We could hear the mage mumble-read through his spell book...

--Mage: I got TimeWarp and AlterTime... which one of those would be better?
--Me: Don't use AlterTime. It's a fun spell that you should play with outside of the raid. Just use TimeWarp when we call for it.
--Mage: Oh, I got this here Arcanine Bri... Arcane Brilliance... bam! you like that?
--Me: Yeah, man... awesome INT buff. Thanks.

His guild loved him. It was great being with another guild who treated each other so well. There was some language, but it was always directed at the game or at themselves... never at each other.

Nah, that's not true at all. TBH, this type of ignorance of the game is what I grew up on the first year of play also. The recipe? Play alone and quest your way through it. Questing is easy and you never have to CC (except I'll admit that even questing can be tough on a mage) and it is plausible... though I'll give you unlikely... that he never needed to trade anything. Or that the person he traded with was always the one who started the trade window.

As for the "CC" thing... I'm sure he'd have caught on if we just told him to "sheep" the target. Not having played a lot with others, he just didn't understand the terms "CC" or "Crowd Control". He also wasn't a fast reader, which is probably why he missed my attempt to clarify in /rsay... the fight had already started.

.......just give Snuff the 10 dollars already

There is a good chance he bought it. Agreed.
