Edging Pet Casters in XP groups

[Itap]

I feel your pain. I have been leveling a bard recently and seems most of the players AFK in a PUG entirely. Tank engaging too slow, priests barely getting heals off, etc. Then again, grinding in a group setting is extremely boring and monotonous so I can see why players load up netflix and chill.

I find that sometimes I get shit by people who think I'm not pulling my weight on my mage or necro. They will see a couple late pet focusing and then accuse me of nonsense like being afk a lot.

That behaviour is why I started always parse. Then I can show those ignorant fools how I'm either top or 2nd DPS. Typically they simply shut up after proof. Sometimes though they hilariously claim parsing means nothing and that they "know for a fact" I'm not doing enough.

why don't you just talk or emote stuffs insteada goin all nerdmode with the parses? ^^


also, OP, can you share one the names of the offending pet casters, please krom? this is important.

This is not allowed in RnF, it's called "bullying" when you show names of other players that do things we rant about now.

Just letting OP know so no reputations are forever sullied. OP, do not name the offenders.

Regarding the rant, I always felt like I was carrying groups on my melee. Basically when you on a tank, get used to doing 75% of the work or more when you a bard/monk pulling.

I prefer soloing just because of this reason tbh. I rather get maximum XP for the time I put in, but obviously as a warrior soloing becomes less of an option especially 50+.

Good luck, and hopefully you find a guild to help you push through to 60.

I tried my hand at grouping on my incredibly twinked Bard for a while in popular zones (Unrest, Mistmoore, COM). Did charming, pulling, tanking, twisted 4 songs at all times and swapped instruments.

Was a ton of fun, but I noticed the more I did, the less others did. This really burnt me out quick on grouping as in some cases it was basically me powerleveling the rest of the group on-level.

Druids seemed to be the worst with this, I find it odd when a Druid joins and thinks all he needs to do is heal.

Got my bard to 24 level and quit. It's really a busy class, I found myself pulling, ccing, tanking, and zero appreciation from the groups. Burned out fast. I should have tried meleeing solo on the bard for fun as someone told me this is very viable way to level, but I did not enjoy the song twisting.

Last group we had a Druid, they healed, only started to use thorns on the tank when asked, and never snared one running mob. Some of this is noobing and not being lazy, but still can be frustrating.
