Crusader Manners has noticed that when there is a death in the party, people are fond of assigning blame for that death. It is extremely rude to tell someone else they are at fault for your death when they are not, so keep the following helpful general rules of thumb in mind.
- If the tank dies, it is the healer's fault.
- If the healer dies, it is the tank's fault.
- If the DPS dies, it is their own fault.
Stay in range of the healer. Don't pull aggro off the tank, or before the tank is ready. And don't blame anyone else for your own mistakes.
This ignores the fact that if the caster (or other random DPS) decides to go nuts, or pull random crap, no matter what the tank decides to do, the party is probably going to die, and then the DPS will blame the healer. The above rules only work if everybody is doing their job.
ReplyDeleteException 2 is if you get that wonderful healer type who specced healer, but really wanted to be DPS, so they suck at healing, and spend most of their time trying (poorly) to kill things instead. And you won't know what they are (as they call themselves a healer) until the party wipes.
Those things happen, but what I'm really talking about here is attitude, not situation.
ReplyDeleteWe can't change the behavior of others. We can only change how we respond to it! So in either case it falls on the raid or party leader to explain what went wrong - and also to decide the fate of that person in the present and future parties.
