General responses.
Yeah in lurker 5 mans you can expect your sheeps to not be broken and if I had a tank on Terenas I would just let you detect magic on it, charge, clap, let you sheep and then go on my merry way letting you resheep if we still have mobs. Heck if Meowry is tanking it won't be much different. I do remember a few times back in RFK with Mageand way back when.
Aggro shouldn't be as hard to manage. The tanks we have on Terenas are good tanks when I've played with them. I know I've had to adjust my hunter play to not be the tank anymore with him. And of course with all the tanking I do on Stormrage I do have "loose mob tank it!" mentality. So I will zip Meowry over to a free mob when I shouldn't sometimes. I've forgotten to turn growl off and I've stolen aggro for the tanks and I know from when I was tanking how annoying that can been when you aren't expecting it.
It feels very "lurkerish" for everyone to blame themselves for wipes. Well all seem to analyze what happened and find the flaws in what we did. I've caused my share of wipes but I've also saved my share of wipes and I've thought I was the reason for a wipe when I wasn't. I think that is a mark of a good player, but yeah a short discussion afterwards can really help clear things up.
As for what to play. I am a staunch defender of play what you want to and we'll make it work. Of course since I love all my alts I'm also willing to switch out to whatever may be needed. Though some days I will say, no I want to play Gnolack or Taranna or Balador (my 60's on Stormrage). I don't really have the alts in the range of other lurkers on Terenas right now, except for Marn, but that's cool I love my hunters (I still think the hunter is my favorite class but the Stormragers never get to see me play one. :).
But if you ever feel like playing Magead and I'm around (I'm damn alliance scum now though.... ) just holler. If you want to play Rogoll instead that's cool too.
At least you got pick-up groups for the instances. Treesh and I were sadistic and we duo'd many of them. Though when we started playing again we got lucky and there were all you guys in our level range when we came back so we've had Lurkers to finish out SM and the rest after that.
I am thinking about setting aside another day for Terenas besides just Friday because I'm having a blast over there and Marn was my first character (and he used to be my biggest till my problems set in), he should have been my first 60, not my 4th. But I love all the people on Stormrage too. The problems of altitis on multiple servers with good people. It would be worse right now if I had kept up on Tich as well.... :)
Oh well. Just have fun playing that's the key. If it isn't fun don't do it.
