Pick up healer..

My dk's are now lvl 71, running full brutal gladiator epics i might add :), since my other chars are 85 and I don't feel like boosting anymore I've decided to run dungeon finder and grab a PUG Healer.

The first healer wanted to do more runs with me because I was so easy to heal and quick through the instance; that was when I realised adding people as friends when they are from another server was a non-starter.

One guy wouldn't shut up about the fact that I was multi-boxing, telling me how he'd seen all these youtube vids... during one fight I was wondering where the heals were as a few dk's were getting low. Then there was a wall of text, and a few heals in the nick of time. He would also just go afk without warning, and when he didn't appear to come back it was time to let him leave.

By the time I was 71, i had run UT many times very quickly. Boss down times were about 33 seconds, 24 seconds and a minute 4 seconds (because of the reincarnation). I join another 'random', and it was UT AGAIN... the first thing the healer said was "no thanks" and left..

Got a new healer and breezed it :)

The topsy world of playing with random people.. does anyone else pug randoms? This is my first time in years.

On the other site, a few people seem to have fun running 3x DPS.
And pug both the healer and tank.

But that would be the longer queue times.
If you can cover the roll of tank, that's faster queues.
And with 3+ toons, they cannot vote kick you out for boxing.
If you're having fun, it's all good I suppose.

When I was playing I would just run with my four shaman. Tanks were hit/miss. But at the time I had my main as resto so there weren't many problems.

Ha, I'm doing the same exact thing.

Currently, I have x4 Dks at level 73. When I started immediately doing instances and pugging the healer.

My queue times are near instant and so far my experience have been great.

The majority of the people usually start out with "WTF?" and I explain myself and carry on. They praise me for my speed and ease of healing and usually want more runs.

Other are simply curious. They ask how it works, why I do it, what my goals are and if I pay for x4 accounts.
Some don't say a word the entire run and just go with it. One guy actually thought I was x4 people that just happened to look exactly the same with the same name and in the same guild. He honestly thought it was 4 people playing in unison. He questioned how we were so precise and thought we had to be in the same room.

I've had some sour apples though. A couple healers left immediately after saying some nasty stuff. One debated with me on multiboxing, cheating, and terms of service. We continued on to the boss and right as I pulled he left the dungeon to leave me to die. To bad for him I didn't need him anyway. Other are confused as to why I haven't been "caught" yet and banned. I educate them that it against the ToS. They call bullshit and threaten to screen shot me and report me. I tell them to go ahead and kick them.


Overall, I'd say about 98% of the runs have been great with 2% sour. It isn't a problem, a quick kick and the next healer is ready to go in seconds.

EDIT:

I just ran a Azjol Nerub and I get a level 75 druid healer. First thing he says is "hello mr bot". I just shrugged it off and continued player. We downed the first boss with ease. The second boss, the big spider Hydronox that is fighting all the mobs, was next. The healer bum rushes, pulling all the mobs to me and left, leaving me to die. They should change dungeon finder so you can't leave the dungeon while in combat.

Hey, my dk's are all lvl 73 :)

Just set them all up as blood, I ran Drak'Tharon keep last night. Went fast and smooth, even the last boss during his crazy mind control thing - I just kept spamming my dps key and they auto acquired targets and smashed through.

I put a thread in group composition forum, they are outputting ~1600 dps. Which when was more than when I had frost! Now I'm thrashing all my previous boss records too.

The one guy who left instantly, I told him it'd be faster than a pug if he stays "yeah, right" he says :) Another suggested 'us' guys were funny. But mostly they want to do more instances as they say it's just as though I'm boosting them since they don't do much.

As long as I think the healer is awake, I can just chain pull through instances.

I run with 1 blood and x3 frost. The frost toons give me a lot better dps, at around 2.5k. The blood tank is around 1600.
If I get an exceptionally bad pug healer, I'll switch them all to blood to make healing easier. It goes slower but almost impossible for me to die.

I must have had my frost very poorly setup, I'll have to look into that.
