As the tank, I am in control. The raid follows where I lead and generally moves as I ask. The mobs come when I pull them (mostly) and move when I taunt them.<br /><br />As a melee DPS however, I spend much of my time pushing buttons, but not seeing any numbers appearing over heads, then suddenly realized it's because they're out of freaking range AGAIN. So I move closer, get off another four or five swings, and they're out of range again. I can't stand it.<br /><br />For DPS I much prefer my elemental shaman. I position myself where I know it's safe to stand, then pick a target and start blasting. It's an awesome rush watching a huge lava burst flying towards a target, then exploding, spawning a huge crit number over it's head. It's just pure exhilaration.<br /><br />Also, if you don't like to raid, why are you in a raiding guild?<br /><br />I'm not much of a people person, and prefer to spend much of my time alone. However, I was enticed by the epic loots, and the only way to get them was to be a raider. I'm a raid leader now, because I'm competent, but I don't really enjoy it. The diffence between a 10 main raid and a 25 man raid is huge as well. 10s are tolerable, and often enjoyable; 25s make me want to pull my hair out.Copernicusnoreply@blogger.com
