just say no
I'm sure you have all had this happen before that someone asks you to "drop one of your guys and lets do a dungeon". I was asked by not one but two different people to drop one of my guys and let them join me. They were both people I had talked to before but they are not from my guild ... but I relented anyway. The first guy had a level 70 druid and a 70 mage and I was farming my last totem of the void. I can pretty much do the farm with near zero deaths unless I just do something really stupid. I had several team wipes that I haven't had in a long time. first, he would tank out of range so I had to move the team to be able to cast making my stoneclaws worthless. He would stop the bomb throwers out of range as well. He was in bear form and was doing about 5% of the team dmg. Next he tried doing it with his mage and his dmg went up to 17% or roughly the amount of dmg my part time healer was doing but this presented a whole new set of problems. He would end up attacked something I wasn't and draw aggro then run behind my team. I would have to reface or move get LoS back so I could attack it. The healer is set to healing focus-target-target but since he was attacking the wrong thing he was rarely getting heals in time. The whole experience made each run 15-20 minutes longer than it needed to be and I was kind of glad when he wanted to leave. Then before I could start another run someone else asked the same question :cursing:
The second person wanted me to run him through SL. It was my first SL run as a team (inch: a neutered team I might say ) . He was a hunter level 69. He was doing apx 10% of the team dmg. I had invariably dropped one of my part time healers which also happened to be the one dropping the tremor totem. We team wipped on the first fear cast, didn't do much better on the second fear cast even after I had fixed my totem drops. I seem to have a similar problem of him standing behind the team instead of with the team. if he did draw aggro I again had the problem of having get LoS on the target. We made it to the end though and it felt good to get there. I was suprised because I was expecting SL ( non heroic ) to be very hard and even
It's not really their fault per say and I learned a lot from doing it. I just need to teach them not to stand behind so I can LoS without moving. I have get each non-tank to macro up to /assist my main. If I have a tank join the team then I have to change all of my macro's to /assist tank.
I think the best option is to "just say no" and do my own thing.
