FAILPUG! Heals? I’m a BLOOD DK!

Ahh the daily Heroic. Fifteen minutes of relaxed pew pew to get my 2 shiny Frost Badges. But alas, all is not well with today’s run. Today we get… the jerk tank.

Now the jerk tank is a peculiar species, it is a jerk and it is a tank. Hence the name: jerk tank. But you can’t just kick him cause the group needs tank. But what happens when a fight occurs between tank and healer? This is what happened.

FAILPUG: It’s ONLY Ulduar!

Setting the scene: The wonderful weekly frost badge run of goodness comes round and you think “Its only Ulduar what could possibly go wrong?” you answer a trade advert and get snapped up to a 10 man run. Eager to get your frosties and being a prompt and polite character off you trot to the instance without a moment to waste.

The confusion: But then da da darrrrrr, the raid leader sets it to 25 man in order to discuss with Brann turning off hardmode. You’re confused, the’re confused, everybody’s confused and then you remember….. it’s a weekly, and the raid leader has clearly never been to Ulduar before, after all how hard can it be!

The Horror: Smelling a FAILPUG swiftly you leave the group, needless to say they wiped on Flame Leviathan, the horror, the horror.

FAILPUG! I’m Trying to Translate Them

Once again throwing myself with abandon into a total FAILPUG!, I bring you a tale of roguetards, strange Greeks and amazingly calm raid leading.

Picture the scene, you’ve logged in with the intention of catching up on some achievements, because you’re racing a mage to 7k points. You have a spreadsheet, and a detailed plan for the day, and then a guildie suggests you come to a pugged ToC25. “It’ll be fun”. Yeah, right.

FAILPUG! Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?

Introducing one of the new features rolling out over the next couple of weeks, FAILPUG! will make you feel better about that pug you previously thought was bad just by showing you how much worse it could have been. If you find yourself in a true FAILPUG!, take some screenies and send them our way.

Everyone expects VoA pugs to end terribly. Everyone except me that is. I’m like an innocent, fragile flower who has been sheltered from the raging storm of frustrating players by hiding behind my big rock of not-pugging. Good analogy, eh? So last time I saw a callout in Wintergrasp general for more to do a quick 10-man, I rolled up my sleeves and thought what the hell…
