Last night I offered up my services in a Normal run of Forge of Souls and also the Pit of Saron as dun dun dunnnnnn…. deeps.

A few Guild members were running through and were looking in-guild before hitting the Pug button. As I had just finished(mostly) tweaking my UI, I decided to toss my cap in as either a healer or DPS, and BoomkekOwlbearLaserchicken it was.

I had previously gone through in Heroic mode on the PTR on one of the nights when you could pug with the blues, and once again friday evening as a healer so, I pretty much knew the place. I knew what not to do on the Bosses(thanks DBM) I knew the layout, and what the trash pulls looked like, so it was odd to me that after the third pull Bear offered me some advice.

I am paraphrasing, as I don’t recall what he said specifically, but he basically told me to “attack the skull you dummy.” In my defense, I was using my Focus frame to target Bear and the Focus Target to tell me what to kill before the skull appeared, but I was quite slow pulling off ad onto the skull when it popped up.

So, I am a nub, for not following one of the easiest concepts in the game. Follow the skull. I should get the “follow the skull” macro that my friend Drew had when he was raid leader for RD. It would put the skull on his target so the rest of the dps knew which target to focus fire on. Maybe I can give that to Bear.
