Which class makes you go urrrgh!*facepalm*

[darthkaz]

So I was wondering if you guys post LFM's and get a weird class build wanting to apply, do you accept or go no way man! And if you do which weird class make up would make you go no way!

I'll go first: AA archer! LOL (Kinda an inside joke with my wife, xenva) I meant know disrespect to any capable AA archers out there.....maybe

Ok really tough I always thought an 10wiz/10 Clr was really weird.....

[Lithic]

I'll accept anyone not on my "These guilds suck" list (currently composed of a certain group of cynical dancing enthusiasts, and a certain military assembly from the starter island). If they die in the first two runs, they are out.

[AylinIsAwesome]

I'll take anyone unless I've run with them before (and I know they aren't good), or if they're part of one of the two guilds on my server that simply just invite anyone they meet.

[doubledge]

gimp. it's a class.

[Phidius]

Personal/Guild reputation alone determines whether or not I'll hit the "Decline" button. As long as the player behind the toon has the ability to play the game, I'll take anything.

Except for that 1% of the game where party composition is really important, but I don't put up LFMs for those (much).

[Sarisa]

The rare times I post an LFM, I'll take anyone provided:
They're not a known no-amp sponge WF melee who will cost me several pots to keep him alive.
They can at least understand English enough to work with the group.
They're not a stereotypical kiter-AA who can't manage their aggro.
They're not a member of my personal "Do Not Group" list, which is only 3 entries.

I'll cringe sometimes if a Pale Master joins, but that's not because of the classes playstyle or anything wrong with the player, it's because their aura's sound is so obnoxious I have to turn off sound effects.

Sometimes I send tells to requesting players with a "What role do you fill" question. It can spark a nice discussion. I almost never deny entrance based on a class configuration. Who knows, I might learn something interesting from the exchange.

Also, I have a 16Sor/2Pal/2Rog who I love to play and who gets declined from groups. I am assuming it is for his class combo because I am awesome. Well, maybe not awesome, but at least capable. Especially when he tanks VoD. ) So, I am a bit biased in favor of strange class combos.

Two


1. AAs who haven't realised that they got TWF for free and should USE IT

2. FvS or Cleric evenly split with sorc levels (yes some have done that)...you can't cast, you can't heal - what exactly will you do in my group?

melee?

[Riorik]

The only class I accept is Lumberjack.

[FlyingTurtle]

Real Analysis.

No, wait...

[Dandonk]

Real Analysis.

No, wait...

Real Analysis wasn't so bad. Differential Geometry, though.... /smackheadhardagainstwallrepeatedly

meh, that's not an incomprehensible build or anything. i wouldn't play it personally, but i can see the logic behind it, and wouldn't have any major problems with bringing you on most quests (i wouldn't be terribly excited about having such a build in an epic group, where mass hold monster is pretty much everything, but that's beside the point).

[Entelech]

Barbarians.

I was traumatized by a series of Barbarians on my first character, a dwarven Cleric. Now, I avoid them, even when I am not playing a healing class.

Nothing quite like having a Warforged Barbarian with no Healer's Friend and no AC in an Irestone Elite run at level 5. Especially when he THINKS 'High Hitpoints = Tank."

They still give me the heebie jeebies.

12<melee>/8<arcane>
or the other way around
the BAB is too low for anything past the desert, and arcanes have a DC of useless

[SynalonEtuul]

the BAB is too low for anything past the desert

This seems unlikely

[Anthios888]

I love weird builds. The weirder the better. And the scarier the guild the better. Makes for more of an "adventure."

The ones I decline are the proven ********.

[Noctus]

When i do pug i am specifically not aiming for fast&efficient blitzkrieging the quests. Thats what shortmanning with guildies and chennelguys is for.

I pug for the social aspects and the occasional lulz when i see how other people play. So everyone is welcome, especially the "wild ones".

[Talon_Moonshadow]

I accept anyone; usually the first five who want to join.

And usually have a great party that succeeds.

A little pet peave of mine is that far too often, when the going gets tough, the tough get going......right out of the dungeon.

But another pet peave is people who join a group for a difficult quest, with no idea what they are in for....no desire to struggle with a challenge.
And worse......bring no healing with them what-so-ever.

The Multi-classed guys tend to be more self sufficient. Which is nice.
I would gladly do any quest with a full party of Rangers. Especially AAs.

The people that give me the most problems are Half Orc Barbarians....with wings next to their names...
Guaranteed to only want to run quests at full speed, Hasted and healed, and to drop group at the first sign of anything that will hurt his XP/Minute.

No specific classes or mixes, but DEAR GOD I facepalm when a Level 20 Rogue or Arcane (or any other class, for that matter) with 200hp and zero fort joins the Shroud group when I'm playing my cleric. Really - one shot from Harry and you're dead before the Mass Heal hits? Sigh. I guess it's a good thing, though - I don't have to worry about them after that, at least in Part 4 (though they tend to whine piteously when I won't raise them in Part 5 only to have them die again 3 seconds later )
