Ok, had a little situation last night whereone of our SBs quit the raid because nobody responded to his calls for a rez. Whether he waited long enough for a response is not really relevant, as I know he was not assisted for about 1 minute. However, do know, that I dragged Twiz around the keep earlier to sweep for dead SBs and rez them.
The SB did mention one thing, something like this "Why don't they buff us who are actually fighting the Albs rather than those bashing the doors?".
Well, there's an interesting discussion. I've played an assassin into his 40s, and I know the frustration that comes with it. I see a LOT of this:
- Assassin goes to where there is a keep in progress
- Assassin doesn't ask for a group.
- Assassin tries to start killing people inside.
- Assassin get badly hurt or killed.
- Assassin then starts asking for a rez.
- Assassin then asks for buffs.
Now, this is what I used to go through, a lot.
Fact is, it's a team game. The shammy/healer will buff his group. If you are not grouped, don't expect buffs. You/me the assassin may get RPs for our work on the walls, the door bashers do not. But unless you have a ninja group, those doors still have to come down and people there will need buffs to live longer.
My view:
- Assassins should group. Earn those buffs/rezzes by sharing your RPs.
- Healers (healer types), keep your SBs alive and you'll get those RPs roling in. A fully buffed assassin is a killing machine.
- Shield Tanks, guard an assassin and know where he's going to strike and run to. You an stop a good few arrows from hitting him.
- Nukers/shammies, nuke/DoT the area around the climb point.
- Assassins, kill the enemy healers/nukers, stop with the fekking shadow war.
As you can see, I'm pretty impartial, as I'm just an RP cow.
