That pic is genuine and omg emby is a leader of a guild now?!

That's just too much

Hopefully genuine, otherwise the "whishes" part is ironic. Unless it's part of the joke.

We have a special thread for anyone who goes in the pit at the lobster.

Magentaelvis/Magnetic/etc. Possibly the most pompous asshole on Sarlona.

Puts up PUGs, doesn't tell anyone anything or lead at all, and gets mad when he follows his exacting plan that he didn't bother letting anyone else in on while the other half of the PUG does something else. Twice I joined his PUGs when he was on a FVS and he never told anyone that he wasn't going to heal anyone but himself. That kind of information? Kind of important.

It's the amount of ego that gets me. The way it comes through just from his inflection that it's obvious you should have done what I wanted you to do (even though I didn't tell you anything) and what are you, some kind of moron? The way he asserts things completely false and wrong like it's the blinding obvious truth.

Ugh.

They certainly do, but dying repeatedly at that fight is more fun than a lot of things in DDO.

Just joined another shroud with the aac dwarven FvS (Beeram) from before. This time, it was normal, and there were 3 other healers, so I decided to stay and pay closer attention.

Against portals and minibosses, instead of using DP, blade barrier, searing light, an SoS, or any other form of decent dps, he prefers to TWF what appear to be a lit 2 longsword and a min 2 heavy mace. Assuming it isn't merely a shocking burst sword and an acid burst mace.

When healing, he likes to throw spot heals in between masses. The reason I didn't notice the masses before was probably because he either never took or refuses to use quicken.

My main problem with him was that during the hard shroud run, he was trying to keep us all up by basically going mass heal - spot heal - spot heal - spot heal - repeat, all unquickened. We wiped before he hit half sp.

There was one other guy in the group. I think it was a level 17 FvS that was spamming cures to compensate. He ran out fairly fast, iirc.

Edit: I wouldn't have even mentioned it except I had just finished a run with an aac rogue, with <200 hp and had the opening line of "I hope you want a trapmonkey " or something along those lines.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the guy does nothing but fire a bow on Magentaelvis. When he was a FVS? Did almost nothing but fire a bow. Wizard? Almost nothing but fire a bow.

I've seen a lot of these lately.  After LOB released their was the initial wave of good 1000 hp tanks and now we are getting the copy cat ungeared total mess versions.

A WF barb with a 28 strength?  What is the point of that?  Can't hold aggro, has no AC or healing amp so the healing is a mana nightmare.  The days of your healers muscling a WF Barb through a tanking situation are done.  There are many better options for tanking suulu.  Including the above mentioned Pale Master and the FvS.  Both of whom can easily maintain aggro while shield blocking.

Wow.

I miss the days when my WF barb was the ideal choice for tanking sulu. He's due for a TR after everything has stabilized in the update and I know what would be best to make.
