I noticed in last night's raid that utility curses weren't getting thrown, i tried to do something about it in warlock chat, but no one really listened to me. I think maybe its not generally understood how much more helpful it is to drop recklessness and weakness to help melee dps and tanks than it is to sit on agony or doom trying to give a slight boost to your own damage. Trust me, i use elements every raid and my damage is fine, we have these curses so we can use them to help the raid as a whole, and they should always go out before damage curses, at least on bosses and stronger trash mobs.

i suppose i dont have the power to make anyone do anything, but i do hope you guys will understand a little better how much better the raid will work as a whole with all the utilities up. the first thing a good raid dps has to understand is that the efficiency of the raid as a whole is ALWAYS greater than individual damage.

Was supposed to be zomb throwing wrecklessness, you throwing elements and vil throwing weakness last night. My UI makes it hard to keep track if those actually go up, but if you were opting not to throw those curses, STOP THAT. Also, I am completely willing to be one of the people doing utility curses (I was on CoE duty pre-Aeetes).

Good lookin' out though. Raid dps>Personal dps.

Edit: Oh, this was from before Illidan. I thought we had it figured out for Illidan, lol.

Just want to add that it's really been an honor raiding with you other locks. Overall, we have really been a community of pew-pewers and I'll miss you guys when Wrath rolls around (and I swap to healing on my shaman). I'll try to keep up on lock knowledge so I can help in any way I can.

psh abandoning us...i just got my holy pally to 70 and i def. see the appeal of healing though, its really fun imo. Im just glad i could finally find a guild thats not full of idiot locks though, most of my other guilds never organized curses, and the people that actually were good were usually kind of stuck up (for example Anumo, and im sorry if hes anyone's friend but he was kinda an elitist dick when he was in sonata with me.)

anyway, nim you go show those idiots like shamzen how a real resto shammy rolls, and i promise to keep my lock dps strong.
