... to turn down a 18/2 paladin/rogue for a normal Shroud run full of 20th level characters?

Note that this person was looking for "DPS" and only had fighters and barbarians listed in the LFM...

I'm thinking if he were lookin for dps in shroud and turned down an 18/2 pally rogue u should be glad you didnt make the cut as that may have been a painful run.

Paladins can't do DPS, they are there to buff the party with Lionheart, what rock have you been living under?

I hate when the LFM leader is so inflexible when it comes to accepting players. I mean, even if a Pally/rogue (or any other class/build for that matter)that was built so horribly wrong that he dies while beating on portals he/she did make it to 20, he/she did get flagged, and he/she quite possibly has done the quest before and might know how to best compliment the party.

I say unless the party is specificaly waiting for a healer or caster for a specific quest, give people a shot.

Besides having a couple of wild cards in a group kinda spices it up.

Good point.

It's obviously cuz ya didn't have weapons of good. Obviously.

**Rasczak** · 01-13-2010, 02:46 AM

This makes me happy...now at least it isn't just casters getting turned down

Btw...how many times did you see him lfm'ing that evening?

**Clay** · 01-13-2010, 05:06 AM

maybe he my.ddo.com'd you and didn't like what he saw?

**TreknaQudane** · 01-13-2010, 05:17 AM

The real question is who needs only 20s for a normal shroud run.

Probably about as much as posting this thread? Face it, your a paladin. Only thing a paladin is good for in the shroud is charging high energy cells.

**Judo** · 01-13-2010, 06:46 AM

isnt it the pallys sole job to dual wield deception in part 4?

**Shaamis** · 01-13-2010, 07:10 AM

this reminds me of the early days before monks were accepted......

.....like they are now

That's not the same thing. There were, and are, a lot of bad (full/primary) monk builds and bad monk players. A better analogy would be Rangers 3+ years ago.

Just a thought - what if they just didn't want you? I haven't a clue about whether anybody would or would not want you or your character in a raid or quest but anything is possible whether. Sense or reason may not be part of the story.

Ive had a lot of strange turn downs on various classes.

Sometimes even when my char is exactly what they advertised for.

It bothers me. But I try to convince myself that if they are being so selective, then it's a group that I wouldn't have fun running with anyway.

I've known for a long time that the people I like to run with will take anyone, and do just fine.

I can accept people thinking they need a healer.
I can accept wanting a Rogue.
And a few quests where certain classes make it easier.

But in most quests, even the highest lvl ones, if you need a certain party make up to succeeed, then it shows a weakness on your part IMO.

Probably someone that knew you.

Right Ren?

**Anderei** · 01-13-2010, 09:03 AM

I've been
* kicked from a tempest spine, because leader realized "oh we got 1 rogue already".
* wordless kicked from a flagging quest, when I VCed on beforehand, "oh just you know, this is my first run on that quest"
* turned down with my FvS for groups advertising for a cleric (and yes mine is not melee specced)
.

Don't take it personally these raid/party leaders are with 99.99% likelyhood just idiots and don't deserve you eitherway.
