Paladin + 4 Shammys OR 5 Shammy's

[Vyndree]

Vydree & Fursphere - I think you guys need to calm down.

Please don't drag me back into this thread for further bickering. I've made my point in previous posts.

You have the benefit of prior knowledge - you have read and posted in the relevant threads before, and are on the forums every day -you know how to find them quickly with the search function. I typed in shaman + paladin in the search box and it came back with 316 results - how do you think that looks like to someone who isnt familiar with the forums? Now add in all the alterntative spellings - shammy, pally, etc...it starts to look a bit overwhelming.

I mentioned in my post before that if he had mentioned that he had tried searching and was lost, I would happily help find links. Which I did. From the OP's continued messages it does seem that laziness and spoon feeding was what he had intended for his thread, so I don't feel upset about acting the way that I did. Vyndree intuition - score.

Now I am not advocating spoon feeding every new poster on the forums, but the fact the same question is being asked over and over suggests that the information is not as easily found as it needs to be. I've started to put together a multiboxing shaman FAQ - hopefully this will be able to help with questions like this.

Agreed. I think this thread started migrating from "how to we answer the OP's question" to "the OP doesn't like our answers and wants to be spoonfed - how do we prevent this in the future". If you'd like to contribute to that, we're all ears. Link us the FAQ when you get done, I'd love to see it.

I've also spoken with Ellay about getting a more visible place on the website menu for FAQs, since they are hidden in random places.

(insert Vyndree rants about people telling her the combination would never work months ago).

Be careful, people are starting to mistake my rants for angry trolling.

Are you sure about that "not easily found" comment?

If you look at the WoW population statistics, Shaman are the LEAST PLAYED CLASS. There isn't a lot of them out there when compared to other classes. Now, why would joe-new-guy roll into a multiboxing forum (the only multiboxing forum?), and "out of the blue" with "no prior knowledge" ask about rolling FOUR OR FIVE Shaman specifically? Seriously?

Not about the 8 other classses in WoW, or the thousands of other possible class setups, he/she asks specifically about Shaman (and a Pally, 1 out of 3 possible tanking classes!).

...and since he threw out the "paladin + shaman" suggestion, he already [b]knew [/b]they worked well together, how in the hell else would he throw out that class makeup (insert Vyndree rants about people telling her the combination would never work months ago).[/quote]
Well gee I dunno...maybe because 4 shaman videos are plastered all over the home page on [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/']www.dual-boxing.com[/url]?

Or maybe he has played shaman's before but never a pally, so has a basic understanding of how the pally class works, but no hands-on experience.

Whatever the case, I don't think the harsh / sarcastic / smart-ass replies really help to do much other than alienate new boxers. The number of people willing to offer friendly advice is one of the things that makes this forum great IMO - lets keep it that way...



Cheers,

Stealthy

How about this. I'll solve everyones problems with my post here ready?

If you aren't burnt out of posting positive usefull feedback to even the most lazy and useless of posters who care not to do any reading upon their own, but would like to ask for the 15th umpteenth time ZOMG 4 or 5 SHAMANS!?, just don't post.

If you are complaining about the people who ARE burnt out, and want to keep these forums helpfull and usefull to all of the people (even the most lazy of said people), post all the comments you want to help them.



Problem with forums is after answering a Question the same time, the same way, 60 times, and still having the question asked... you get tired of it. So, since you want the forums to maintain this holy light of multiboxing goodness, it's your job to give feedback.



~Suvega OUT.
