Is this guy ready for 10man naxx?Follow

Yup, we had this guy for the spider wing in 10man. I put on my tanking set for the trash (I have 30,500 ~19 dodge and ~19 parry and 61.50% reduction in mine). I let the raid leader know that the add on the first boss was all his. What happened? he dropped the ball majorly. He let it run around and wipe us. After the spider wing, we got a druid to ot.

Now, I must admit, he did upgrade since I saw him last. I do not feel that he up to do any raids.

* Argent Crusade Honored

* Kirin Tor Friendly

* Knights of the Ebon Blade Honored

* The Kalu'ak Friendly

* The Sons of Hodir Friendly

* The Wyrmrest Accord Honored

Seeing this just amazed me. He has no rep enchants, there is a great head enchant that he COULD get, but nope. I will never understand why people do not get as honored as they can. It is easy to do, it is one of the easiest things to do in the game.

I also asked him about his axe, and he said with uldarr coming out, there is no reason to get the titansteel destroyer. So, he plans on jumping right into uldarr like that?

(oh, yeah, when he was in our raid, he had skinning and herbalism. He also told me that he was not a 'noob'.)

Is this one of those "trolls"?
If not, maybe you could clarify this a little.

Is he, you, or someone else the MT?

What is 'noob' about that?

So, did you post all this dribble to make him look bad, or to make you look better?

He might not be ready for 10man Naxx, but there is no need to bring it to this forum; unless that armory link is actually you... Smiley: laugh

Not impressed with your attempt to embarrass another player, rate down.

troll? no. I am a 'dps' death knight. I carry around a tanking set for when the need arises.

This is me:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Archimonde&n=Alomodk

Those stats are me in my tanking gear. On times, I have tanked trash in 25man naxx, and regular runs. (Yes, it is not optimal as I do not have the 5/5/5 set up, I let everyone know that.)

the main tank was a warrior, Acrylick was brought in as an 'offtank'. The raid leader did not know what he was like until we all got in the instance. I had over 8k more health than he did, and was pretty sure my dodge and parry were higher than his, so it was decided (via whisper between the raid leader and I) that I do the trash and see how he could handle the add with the first boss in spider wing.

Is there anything 'noob' about having 2 gathering professions? no. It is actually a very viable way of getting gold. The 'noob' comes from not having many enchants on his gear that easy to get, i.e., the head enchant from argent crusade, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44150, Not even bothering to try to upgrade his weapon, and many other things. It was him that said he was not a 'noob', not I. By that statement alone, all I could do is shake my head. If a person does want to tank or dps, what is more valuable? jc for http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42142 for dps? and to be able to craft http://www.wowhead.com/?item=36767 for tanking? This is just an example of a more useful profession. Maybe I just expect more out of people, wanting to be the best they can be and not hearing them say they don't see the need for the titansteel destroyer because uldarr is being released so soon.

My original post was a very simple question: is he ready for it? yes or no?

Were we wrong in replacing him?

I don't see how posting someone's armory because they wanted to off tank naxx 10 is 'making them look bad'. there is the possibility that we were just holding him to higher standards, and that is what I wanted to find out.
