To the leader of that pug crucible last night

A) You will get better results with honey then with angry yelling at group members. Clearly there were some new players in the group (from your leading I am hoping you also) and having something explained to them in two seconds would have been faster and smarter then berating them when they did not read your mind.

B) It is both bad form and stupidity to start the quest off without first even asking if anyone has the skills to get the extra xp and faster run from talking to the guys at the beginning.

C) Saying let me just do this alone and then dying without first figuring out if someone else is better equipped is ill advised. Particularly when it is the swim and you have to borrow an UA item from another party member.

D) Firewalls do not stack by throwing them one on top of each other.

E) Jumping across the top of the maze before it is clear and then yelling for people to come kill the mobs you jumped into was amusing, particularly as it was interlaced with yelling at other group members about how what they were doing was not right.

F) Cloudkill most certainly is a good spell versus red names. It does acid damage and gives the concealment miss chance. This falls under the don't yell at another party member for doing something useful and telling them it is dumb.

G) Telling everyone no buffs are needed constantly is silly to do when you have a bard in party confused about when he is supposed to buff...particularly when you are on the end fight and there is zero reason for the bard not to buff.

They don't stack if you tell someone to throw them right on top of a guy over and over again

**Towrn** · 03-10-2010, 01:34 PM

I can guess the guild this person was from (even had you not already told me)

**Chai** · 03-10-2010, 02:37 PM

I would have just been like "you can solo crucible since that is what you essentially want to do anyhow, and we will run it together" /ding

Another way to resolve that issue is to put him in your backpack after he insisted on going in alone and dying after telling people not to buff. Then have a grand olde buff fest followed by defeating all of the encounters he failed to kill. Most people who put up a front followed by self pwnage followed by sitting in a backpack for a few minutes will ragequit, and then the rest of the group can complete unhindered.

I might have a few guesses, but one is much more likely.

I gottcha. I just hear so many people say they dont stack and really stacking em can be a useful tactic if used correctly. Its a pet peeve so i usually say something even when it doesnt apply.
