I have been noticing that we don't have the member support to have class leads at this time. So I have decided for the time being that we have the group lead. Nominations will be open for one week and one week only. If you don't want a nomination or you do you can pm me or you can post it here. Please keep in mind that the person that will hold this position will have to know where to find answers about other classes that they don't already know. They need to be knowledgeable about all classes of that job.

The third group lead we will be looking for is our hard hitters our it is the melee DPS lead. It is made up of paladins, Shaman, druids,warriors, rogues, hunters. We need some one who knows there stuff.

Please nominate your melee DSP lead. These will be closed on the 8th of July and we will move to the next.

C'mon folks... at least one of you has to be confident about rouges!

we have rogues in our guild?!?


BTW shouldn't hunters be included here, they share more mechanics with melee dpsers than casters.

Well I've got a rogue in training... He just needs to BG up a set of gear and finish the primalstrike set.

/shrug, my rogue is only lvl 3, i think they like hit rating and agility right?? or is it warm milk and cookies..mmmmmmmmm..cookies

I vote wolf

I think the hunters are going to be the bastard children of this thing. Are we caster/ranged or Melee/ranged, the answers are in the officers hands......

I've decided that hunters are neither caster or melee they are a group all on there own they tank and are ranged and can be melee. Hunters are a class act. However we do need some one to take this very small group in sds. I nom Omega if he comes back any time soon.

See hunters are the uber anti-christ.....BOW TO THE HUNTERS!!!!!!!

thanks for the nominations, but i really don't know enough about the other melee classes to be a lead

hunter dps = melee mechanics + shot rotation & range

Anyways, seems Omega is our most available melee dpser.


I'm happy to help him or any other lead with rogue, sham questions.

thanks mad; omega the thing id you don't have to know everything about the other classses and that is what i feel keeps getting mis-construed. You have to know where to find the information and how to point people in the right direction.

See, I vote Omega and Mad as a backup.....

.....or Mad and Omega as a backup...

Whomever it is I know they will rock!!!!!!

WOW I think Likka is rubbing off on me.....

GO TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa Hells! i think you need to give Likka her pom poms back....j/k

Nah, I got her tassels not her Pom-Poms

Casters are casters.... classes that use primarily spells to heal or do damage. Casters include: Resto/Balanced Druids, Resto/Elemental Shamans, Paladins, Priests, Mages, Warlocks.

DPS are classes that do some sort of physical damage, whether ranged or melee. Hunters, Enhancement Shamans, Feral Druids, Warriors, Rogues, and Paladins

I liked it better when hunters ruled the world in a group all by themselves.

See I disagree with this classification, the difference is not between CASTERS and DPS, it's between HEALERS and DAMAGERS, the latter having sub-grouping of ranged vs. melee. So:

Healers (obv.): Resto Druids, Holy Paladins, Priests, Resto Shamans

Caster DPS: Balance Druids, all Mages, Priests, all Warlocks

Melee DPS: Feral Druids, all Hunters*, Retribution Paladins, all Rogues, Enh Shamans, Arms/Fury Warriors

*You can go either way with hunters, but they're still a DPS class.


BTW, if no one else wants to, I'm willing to act as melee lead.

I like to classify all classes into 3 categories: Healers, Stealers and Dealers.

Those who heal the damage done to the party - self explanitory

Those to absorb (steal) the damage done to the party - tanks n' such

Those who deal the damage - DPS'ers of all types


Obviously, there are some areas of overlap, but these are general categories.

whether a class is healing or doing damage, casting a spell is their primary means of doing their job....hence they're a caster..... then function breaks it down into further categories such as healer and damager....

same logic goes for dps classes provided they do some sort of physical damaged.... these are broken down into ranged dps and melee dps....

another way to look at it is... if you take healer and drop them into a caster dps group..... there are some buffs and auras that would help the healer in their function.... vice versa, if you take a caster dps and drop them into a healing group... there are buffs and auras that will mutually help each function.... as long as they are under the Caster's umbrella.....
