Pugging Instances

It is a thankless job leading a trade channel pug of people that statistically are dumber than a baby born with Anencephaly.

So, basically, your average raiding hunter.

Anyways, leading a pug is a soul crushing endeavor only done by the friendless, the endlessly patient, and the mentally deranged.

Sometimes you might find yourself bored on a random night and you missed your guild's raids for the week, so you have two choices: let your raid ids go by unused or find yourself a PUG.

Assuming you've been drinking or self-loathing for long enough to put yourself up to trade channel pugging, here are some tips to full ingratiate yourself into the group.

1. On your first fight, win on the dps meters and be sure to link it twice in chat. This builds credibility. It is also the trojan horse for everything that comes after for you.

2. If you can convince a couple of your friends to tag along for this sin against god, all the better, you can talk shit and make fun of the other bads. Having a couple of friends further allows you to get "in" with the raid leader. If a couple of other people manage to praise your skill and ability and perhaps even help organize parts of the fight, all the better.

3. Deploy your hidden forces. start contradicting the raidleader's description of the fights. Explain that "this is how things are done in the top tier guild that you have on another server. See how many people in the raid you can convince to do truly bizarre and counter to the design of the fight things. 8 point Thaddius rotations, Tanking Patchwerk while running through Frogger, Single Side Gothik, etc. Get summon rotations going. Insist that if you feed Gluth enough zombie chow his stomach explodes. Say you read it on EJ. After all, you are doing over 4k dps, how could you be wrong about things like this?
