Dungeon Dos and don'ts.

So here's the thing about being in a dungeon. Dungeon groups are made up of three DPS, a healer and a tank those five people are part of a team. As you may guess, things will always go more smoothly if those people work together and follow some simple dos and don'ts.

  • The tank sets the pace.
In theory the dungeon guide should set the pace but the truth is that the tank is the one that is running head first into the baddies.  Let him decide where your heading and how fast you'll get their. Trust me it will make things go more smoothly. If this is not followed and the DPS decides to attack new enemies (pull) then their can be consequences, leading to the next rule.
  • If you pull it, you tank it.
It's very hard to tank, if you make it any harder by drawing in new enemies then you deserve to get smacked around. It's what I like to think of as a learning opportunity.
  • If your group can't kill it, don't pull it.
The other side of the coin of the previous rule is, that the tank sets the pace but it dose him no good to pull the entire room at once if the DPS isn't strong enough to kill the baddies before the healer runs out of mana and they all get killed. Start out slow and work your way up on how big a group you pull.
  • A group lives and dies on it's healer.
If the healer dies, everyone else dies. So protect them no mater what.
  • If the healer says "OOM" you stop till they say it's time to go again.
OOM means "out of mana" If the healer has no mana then they can't heal anyone in other words please refer to the previous rule.

  • No abuse
Even if your group wipes, don't grief anyone. Remember what your mom told you; "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all.

  • Take criticism
If your entire group tells you to stop doing something, or change something. Say thanks and do it. Either it will make things go more smoothly or nothing will change and no one can blame you.
  • Say thank you.
At the end of your dungeon run say thank you. Even if the group sucks, say thank you. Good manners help.
The most important thing to remember is your their to have fun, and not let your fun ruin someone else's. Play nice with the other children and they'll play nice with you.
Remember we're all noobs, some of us just fly the flag a little higher.
