I don't mind carrying people and certainly don't mind doing a big portion of the damage, but I nearly find it unbearable to use the Dungeon Finder as a dps, and not very much more as a healer. There's some reallly reallllllly bad folks out there who are clueless and being the tank gives me more control of the run and help ensure it goes smoothly.

Wouldn't that be hilarious? Actually I can't remember the name at all now. So I doubt I would recognise it even if I was grouped up with them again. @Awaggz Maybe it was! Wouldn’t that be hilarious?

But yeah, my old guild always took a break during the holidays, leaving everyone to PuG to their heart's content. :p hi, new reader here, got linked from wow.com, love your work. :)

Too many people living on laptops over the festive period simply destroys our roster, and let's be honest - it's more fun eating huge dinners and drinking beer with half your family, enjoying parties and sleeping that extra hour each morning anyway.

I love having four forms on one character. Putting together a new bear set and trying to remember how to tank heroics. I love having four forms on one character.

What we wound up doing was basically a two week attendance amnesty, where the guild continues to raid it's scheduled hours, but if someone couldn't make it, it was not held against them. It gave me an opportunity to take a good look at some of the bench players we have. .-= The Renaissance Man's last blog ... <a href="http://childrenofwrath.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas.html" rel="nofollow">Merry Christmas!</a> =-.

I think a lot of guilds are doing that at the moment. Been pugging heroics a lot on my pally tank, and doing all the required heroics and raids for frost emblems on my main spriest. It's kind of nice, though I really can't wait til proper raiding begins again. :D Our guild is also officially on break for the holidays, we’re raiding again once the new ICC bosses are released.

My schedule still won't let me consistently raid, but it will be nice to work with them on the off-nights. I'm pretty much taking the holidays as an excuse to get away from my main and make some twinks, which has been awesome fun. I'm learning how to tank the lower instances as a Warrior and I can only hope that I'll become as good of a tank as the one you ran with. .-= Cynwise of Stormwind's last blog ... <a href="http://cynwise.wordpress.com/2009/12/25/the-christmas-truce/" rel="nofollow">The Christmas Truce</a> =-.
