Tales of FailFollow

Some mut rogue who took so long to kill a flame leviathan turret, FL murdered everyone. He never actually killed it. We replaced him with a ret pally (i was on the other turret). The pug raid then gave him the kinetic ripper, despite me pointing out I AM COMBAT FIST SPEC. And that dude was mut. And terribad.

I have lost all faith in the loot gods. They are determined to make sure I never replace my crappy blue pieces.

the person in game i would descibe as a fail, is involved in the following story.

i'm in a herioc naxx pug, raid leading as the guy who started the group decided he needed to go just before we finsih putting the group together. the group is me and 2-3 guildies alot of of from the guild the guy who started the group was in and some randoms.
Nothing dropped i could use until we get to kel. I've run naxx heroic naxx every week for last 4 months on the off chance calamity would drop and this week is the first time its dropped for me. i'm the only rogue in group, so i think score. A friend of the guy who started the group starts the looting, the warning for calamity goes up and before i roll a ele shammy rolls a 70, i follow with a 56 but knowing its my mainspec i wait for loot to be passed to me. to my suprise the log shows the ele shammy recieves the weapon and i instantly ask if its been mislooted and how its my mainspec. the shammy automatically says how he was only in the run for enhance gear, i ask if he thought it might have been a good idea to tell the leader of the raid that before we started. he then says he told the masterlooter so it must of been ok. i respond that this is my mainspec and even if he was in the run for just enhance gear, it would be polite if he passed to me as its my mainspec. he says it was a fair roll and he was going to keep it weapon. i gave up and let him take it.

2 days later i see him in dalaran in his enhance spec, hes wearing a combo of crafted blues and so heroic gear, obviously hes equiped calamity and his offhand is greed(or pride which ever is the oh version). i then flip as during the naxx he passed ever piece of epic mail that dropped, even though ever peice must have been and upgrade for him.. what a C


fail rogues:


i'm in a voa25 on my hunter and i see two rogues from the same guild running mutilate builds but using double IP, they both died in novas pretty early so i didn't pay to much attention to them. plus i got my T8 gloves so i didn't care.

I hope that soon I will get bracers, chest, gloves and boots. I have my eyes on the badge boots and bracers but I am strapped for cash and or badgers right now since I bought the Death card and Mirror of Truth last night. On top of that I won Sinister's Revenge, so I had to drop 800g on Berserker for it.

I saw a guy 16 hit a par 3 today. Does that count as a tale of fail?

I stopped running it daily after about 8 runs, for the ring.

My only blue is the ****** ring I have. I pull almost 5k dps in 25mans and I still run H Gundrak every few days for that #$%^ing ring.

I am focusing right now on getting my KotEB rep up so I can get the good head enchant. Then I will start working on the other guys to get some slot upgrades. My biggest problem is that I only really get to play on Friday and Saturday, and I am usually in raid Friday night, which leaves Saturday for gaming if I am not doing something else.

As for the OH...I had a chance at Duel wielding just to say I could but I passed on it to the failure detailed in my OP.

Ah so you're one of those guys who has kinda figured out how to make the ball not go bombing off to the right every swing.

Well if you live in alberta I can get you in for 18 holes for 20 bucks. Gotta love staff discounts for friends =D

Yeah. Normal 18 holes is almost 70 bucks with a cart, but friends of staff get a wicked discount and everything is free for us.

=P nice, duchess. If you'd like to, try swapping Turn the Tables for Master Poisoner, and drop some of the sub talents for 5/5 DW spec. That alone will give you a near 10% dps increase =)

Awesome, I'll go ahead and try that out.

As for the DW and Precision, I'm working my way down that at this moment. The spec I'm using I found from EJ, mainly for raids (of course), I'm the type that usually likes to spec the way I would when I'm raiding that way I can get the practice in and whatnot. Not the best for leveling, but I'm just taking my time.

Currently the armory isn't updated, but I did get to 77 the other night. I'll go ahead and tweak it a bit more with both of your suggestions.

My dps has been getting higher which I'm happy about. Hitting just above 1k dps, but I'm still working on it.

Thomas, I'm assuming that you're suggesting the 51/13/7 spec instead of 51/7/13? I can see how that would bring up my dps, as I don't see much with things like Dirty Tricks and Slight of Hand (other than for CC and threat management), both of which aren't hard if you know what you're doing. Does the Serrated Blades stack with Sunders or no? I'll have to do research on that.

But like I said, I'll go ahead and tweak my spec a bit with going 51/13/7 and changing TtT to Master Poisoner. Would you say that the TtT is more for raiding than MP? If that's the case, I may just keep it as TtT since I'm getting closer and closer to 80. It may not be great while soloing, but if I can cut down the cost of respeccing, that'd be great.

Thanks again for your guys' help. It's greatly appreciated, as always!

Banatu, where do you live? I'm up for a $20 round of golf. LOL

I'm in Red Deer Area
