I finally had a group fail on a boss.

I've been leveling my DK by healing random normals, but technically he's been queuing as heals or DPS and he wound up as a DPS in Arx Corinium. I changed to DPS bars and off we went.

But we could NOT kill the Fanged Menace, due to her self-heals. If they were interruptible, I didn't know how. When it was all over, I looked at my logs. I'd been doing about 6.5K DPS (I know, not the greatest -- but this is a class I don't know well, I was wearing leveling gear, and I did need to do some healing). According to Combat Log Metrics, that was 90% of the total!!!!!!

Now, CLM is hardly precise about things like that. Still -- WTF were the other players (two of them at Level 50) doing???

@FrancisCrawford don't stand in the AOE around it while its curled up. Thats how you stop the self heal.

For real man, just yesterday i got into a fungal 2 of all places, immediately noticed a portal which is a bad sign imo. They werent evem at the first boss. I ask them why the other tank left, no one said a word. I proceed to pull first boss. I *** you not man, the healer was spamming frost heavies and running all over the place while jumping trying to drop aggro , one dps was SnB spamming low slash and the other dps, and this for whatever reason triggered me more than anything else, was constantly back stepping in order to use crit rush over and over again. You cant make this *** up lol..

No amount of polite friendly explanations would help these players. I think im done with GF until zos has the decency to implement systems IN GAME to help educate new players in what is expected of them in a selected role among other lessons. These players get away with this crap because no where else in their playing experience is the game slapping their wrist and making them consider ways to improve. Ill take a fake healer or tank anyday over that crap.

Between the halloween event and this event many people were able to power level their toons.

I got 5 toons to level 40 and 1 to level 45 during the witches event.
This current event got my level 45 to cp160 with the enlightenment and double xp.
This is my first cp 160 toon and am still learning.

BUT...i'm missing points in skills/abilities and guild passives. I know that and am questing now for points and hunting down sky shards.
Also going to start getting my real gear as well and trying out rotations that work for me. Also going to get a combat add-on so I can see my dps stats and fine tune them.

I won't go near a dungeon as a dps until I feel more comfortable that I can cut it.

There are others that really don't care about 'the team'. They are in it for themselves to level or gear themselves up.
