I will strangle someone.Follow

No, not DSD for messing up all my hotbars during a MoA4 raid. She has something much more nefarious in store for her. No the ones that will be strangled are a lesser form of scum. Lvl 20 pick up groups.

I log on this afternoon and since I have completed Godking and MoA and didnt feel like doing Blackscale Sepulcher for DT access line I decided to give my lil ole Barbarian Berzerker Bodhi S'Angry some love. I was soloing when I get a group invite. I join and its a wife/husband team that want to quest but unfortunately we dont have any similar quests and we part amicably.

I decide to form my own TS giants group. So I send out the invite and form a not too shabby group. Zerker, Ranger, Conjurer, Fury, Defiler, Paladin. I figure we could fly to Coldwind Station and take it from there. Well two wipes later I am forced to take party the easy way around from South East station. Of course two people goto thundermist village then back to coldwin then to Southeast station so it takes 10 minutes. We form up and are doing quite well except the Paladin doesn't have griffon access and can't seem to find us. All goes somewhat well. We are slaughtering giants, two people ding. aaa

Now 15 minutes into fighting the Paladin finally shows during a fight with a Yellow heroic and proceeds to pull another one. The **** hits the fan but we manage to survive. So as group leader I clarify that I am MT and will be pulling since I am a higher level and in better gear. The paladin acknowledges and quickly starts running for a giant off in the horizon. The giant is so far off that it takes him 10 seconds to run there, the whole way every member of the group says 'dont pull', well the paladin he pulled. Sigh. In no mood for it I boot him just as he pulls aggro and watch him die.

Down to five members we continue and are doing good, the xp is flowing. The fury dings we all say congrats. We go to pull and Fury leaves group during fight and we all die. Everyone else leaves.

I'm left with my armour at 40% and no group. Turns out Bodhi really is angry.

Well on a happier note I ended up grouping later on and the same Paladin was there. I was chatting about it with the group leader and he mentioned that he was higher up in the Paladins guild and that he would just chat with him and make sure everything went smooth.


The Paladin was smooth from there on in and we both apologized for our actions earlier and I ended up going from lvl 24 to 26.

I sepent Saturday night in a PUG. In about 3 hours went from just into 58 to 20% into 59 (with vitality). I won a pair of legendary boots and some other decent drops (boy, the loot in KoS is 100% better than anything in DoF, unfortunately for tradeskills.) We only had one death, a wizard, and she apologized for over-nuking and pulling aggro and didn't blame me. I think everyone else in the group had a 70 main or two and was levelling an alt. One of the better PUG's I've been in, there is hope... :)

My hotbars were a holy mish mash of awesomeness that you defiled~!

(Of course its much more convenient now but never you mind that)

I think what I was most perturbed about was the change to assist. We were doing a HoF run for DT access and everytime we killed a mob I would lose my lock on Beiren, meaning I was having to constantly reapply assist.

So i just changed it back to target.

You know that during our last Labs run and our Lyceum run. I was consistently placing in the 3-6 spot for dps. Was that because of a re-worked hotbar or due to the fact that I have a new fabled rapier, a new relic chest and MoA piece.

The difference between /target and /assist became apparently while fighting Gnorbl with his pets that taunt you off him.

hmmm
