Just wanted to share this one. Yesterday I was wasting time doing professions and I kept seeing in trade chat, "ToC 10 needs tank, must have achievement, pst."

Well after seeing this for about 30mins I decided I had nothing to lose and sent a whisper that I did not have achievement, but my tank is 35k unbuffed. The guy said he would explain the fights to me, which kinda raised the hair on my neck. What no "get lost noob?" So they had already downed some of ToC and were on Twin Valkyries. They explained my job and I just listened on vent for directions. Downed them first try. Then we went to Anubarak(sp) and I figured, this guy is pretty new and I'm betting we dont down him.

The guy explained the fight TO ALL of the PuG, uh oh he's the only one that knows it?!? We wipe first try and then I think, here's where everyone leaves. Surprisingly no one left and we downed him second try with no problems. What a great experience! Too bad the loot was all crap to me, but at least I can link achievement for more PuGs now! Well when guild isnt trying to run it :)

People that have the skill of boxers even though they don't box. Should be an achievement and give it to that guy.

His reward is that he looted all the BoE stuff.

Ok had a really bad PuG of ToC25 last night. Lots of competent players, a few really bad ones that wiped the raid. How can people not strafe left or right to avoid the big bad boss when he charges? (HOW JESUS CHRIST HOW?!!?) It's like they wanted us to wipe. Even had a mage that thought he would be "smart" and iceblock instead of running. F'ing morons.

Boxing so helps your situational awareness, which in its own helps a lot with raiding.

And the mage iceblocking was epic on our first 25 Icehowl, but yeah you can't know it all. You even didn't know twins and anub while you where there yourself, some people pick stuff up slower (some just refuse to learn), its the game, its the people in any case not much to do but kick and replace :).
