People Afraid To Try










  1. Ha, same thing hapened to us 2 nights ago. We only had 3 locks, as opposed to the usual 5-6. I actually asked the question about whether we could handle Garr. The raid leader chuckled and said, "We'll know soon enough" - and then we proceeded to one-shot him with maybe 2 deaths.

    I love unconventional groups (my favorite is healer + mage (me) + 3 hunters + tank pets), but Scholo pretty much requires a priest.

  2. Until folks get comfortable with something they like the "rules".

    Don't forget a wipe amounts to, what, 40-50g in repairs? Just that wipe. Spread over 40 people in good gear.

    But, certainly, to have worked your way to Garr, only to stop because you're a 'lock or two short is dumb. There's always different ways to accomplish a goal.

    And what l'emmerdeur said. One of my most fun Deadmines runs I did with my wife and 3 Hunters. I was in cat form, she, also a druid, was doing the healing. The pets were tanking. We made the place seem easy.

  3. Well, it is a matter of degree, to a certain extent. If someone proposed that 10 of us should try Molten Core, I would probably say no.

    But some people are so unwilling, that you could say let's try with 35, and they'd still object. I just think that people need to be a little more flexible.

    As for Scholo requiring a priest, the only fight of real concern in Scholomance is Alexi Barov. As long as you have some way of handling that fight, its okay.

    I did Scholo once with warrior, warrior, paladin, paladin, and rogue. The paladins feared the adds and healed, while the warriors and rogue took down Barov.

  4. Just the other day, a few people from my guild and I went to Strat Live and what did we have? Two pallys, a warr, a mage, and a hunter. The other pally healed and I tanked, and to our surprise, we made it to the Scarlet Sanctuary with little to no problem... that is, until we met Timmy, but what can you do?

    We never did get far in the Sanctuary, but we were pleased with our progress despite the odds. We're gonna give it another shot next week, hopefully, and maybe, just maybe, I'll get that silly Hammersmith quest done. :p
