My first LFD Pug :)

I look at GS to understand if someone is actually paying attention. If someone has a GS of ~2k and is pulling in 1800DPS I actually feel like they are new to 80 but working their tail off. I had some huntard that was doing a remarkable 600dps (with Pet added in...) and they had a GS of 4500. That person is just looking to get pulled through the instance. I am going to votekick them every time.

Umm WTF were they doing? I would have thought autoshot+pet would pull more DPS then that. The only thing I could think of would be really low weapon skill if they had just switched bows/guns.

But yeah I agree votekick someone for doing that low DPS with that gearscore.

Sounds like they have concentrated on a single type of ranged weapon and just had something really sexy drop for them.

If had been them, I would have brought up a bunch of white ammo, wandered out into an area where things cant really hurt you, put pet on passive and kite stuff around while you level up the skill until at least 300... by then you should be doing reasonable damage by then.

Ia m using the LFD tool as well to level my new shammi. As Elemental spec I had to wait loong time to find a group, so I dual specced to Restoration and I have a space within 20sec to 1 min

Some times the group sucks, like a DK who has never heared of tanking and getting aggro on multiple targets ... *sigh* or has such a low defence rating that I run oom very fast ...

I also had once a super fast group (while elemental) and we decided to queue for a couple of more instances, which was fab.

If the group I am in is good, then I will always ask if they are interesting in going on with some more randoms... usually they are

I have been farming PoS over the weekend to get my tanking sword, still no drop but it has been so much faster running PuGs than running my full team. Half decent geared groups can clear PoS , last boss yesterday we had to 4 man due to one of the grp being one shotted at the very start of the fight, all it meant was that it took longer lol.
All in all though, PuGs are a great way to fill gear gaps and run dungeons to get familiar with them and work out strategies
