Instance Runs and Mob MarkingFollow

I've noticed some standardization in marks applied to mobs on instance runs. Without it even being discussed, the marks below seem to be what everybody on Whisperwind and The Venture Co. are using. Do the rest of you use these marks? What other marks do your groups utilize?

The first mob to be killed is typically marked with a skull.

The second mob to be killed, and which will be controlled by the tank, gets the red X.

The mob to be chain-trapped by the hunter gets a blue square. When I've grouped with other hunters, sometimes the other hunters get the orange circle or light blue crescent moon. In rare cases, I've been given the red x to trap.

The mage's sheep is usually the blue crescent moon. If there's more mages, the others get the purple diamond or orange circle.

The warlock's banish is typically the purple diamond.

If i mark:
Skull = kill
X = 2nd target
green = 3rd target
Blue = trap
Moon = sheep
Star = sap
Purple = MC/Seduce
Orange = whatever other cc we might have :P

It seems pretty standard on Lightbringer to mark:

Skull = 1st kill
Red X = 2nd Kill
Blue Square = Trap
Moon = Sheep
Circle = Sap

Rest of the marks just seem to be randomly assigned depending on composition of group and the preference of the person marking.

well, blue square = blue = cold = ice traps which are blue, so that works

moon = sleep = counting sheep = sheep, so that works

Skull - kill, not really hard connection.

I've noticed that this doesn't happen in raids, but that's because there are usually targets assigned to people, and there are more then symbols that make sense so why try.

Lot of people on Aggramar refer to it as the nipple. Used to be a joke of an old GL, but now its really common ^^

I've heard heated debates over vent whether it's a nipple or condom. I say it's a condom.

Either one makes it the most acceptable marking for a seduce.

What is the "orange circle" called?
Condom:6 (28.6%)
Orange:8 (38.1%)
Nipple:5 (23.8%)
Pizza/Pie :2 (9.5%)
Total:21


Can someone copy/paste this who can do polls?

I vote for nipple, thats what I always heard on Baelgun.

Skull = kill
X = kill second, offtank, w/e
Moon = sheep
Star = sap or other short-duration CC, kill after skull and before X in raids
Blue = trap or last offtank to kill
Purple = Banish
Green = whatever else
Condom = general purpose - "stand on condom," "MC condom," whatever.
But then again, I pretty much alway run in-guild, so the server as a whole might be different :P

hmm... I think I've also heard people call it the shield... How boring.

It's a condom. It makes so much sense. Nobody likes condoms, so we want them gone... But sometimes, they're just the only option, and when that's the case, DON'T BREAK THE CONDOM!
