All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsWoW Moviewatch: How to Win at PUGs 2

Well, the master of sarcasm picked the series back up and released How to Win at PUGs 2. Billy continues to be curious about the world of PUGs and seeks out his mentor's infinite wisdom. As a result, we get a guided tour of the other archetypes you encounter in the game. I almost want to turn this video into a bingo game of PUGs, just to see how it turns out.
For those of you who follow Wowcrendor closely, don't worry. The Go Guy does make a return.

I just wish these videos were so spot on...
Hih Dec 12th 2011 6:04PM

I...actually laughed at that one. Mostly at the psycho puller. I've had to heal more than a few of them and, I have found the last couple of days, keeping up with them as melee sucks horribly. It's nice to see it gets to other people too :XD: .
I was also glad to see the Silent Hero and Cheerleader. Not all the people you meet in PuGs are bad (I actually had about 6 different good groups today that I ran multiple dungeons with), and it was nice to see it acknowledged.
I LIKE to think I'm the Silent Hero type, but it is hard to say >.>

If you look at the Wowpedia articles on the types of people in your dungeon groups (http://www.wowpedia.org/People_in_your_pug), raids (http://www.wowpedia.org/People_in_your_Raid), and battlegrounds (http://www.wowpedia.org/People_in_the_Battlegrounds), you'll find that they're are actually lots of archetypes that are "good".

inb4 50 comments claiming to be the silent hero.
BTW I'm totally the silent hero.
GhostWhoWalks Dec 12th 2011 4:50PM
The Silent Hero does not need to claim he or she is the Silent Hero...
...for obvious reasons.

Lord help us, GoGoGo Guy has met his soulmate/brother. XD
(When next we see them, it will be as an unholy team in the Raid Finder. )

"I AM PULLING EVERYTHING! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
In the interest of full disclosure, this was how I tanked on my Death Knight in Wrath.
noel mcleod Dec 12th 2011 2:23PM
Well, that IS how you tank on a DK ... NEVER let your runic power go to waste ...
Kira Dec 12th 2011 4:19PM
Dont worry, thats how I tanked on my paladin in Wrath too lol, MUST NOT LET DIVINE PLEA FALL OFF!!!!!! *best impression of a warriors charge*
Hih Dec 12th 2011 6:07PM
@Kira: Haha, that's exactly me on my Paladin in Wrath too. Except for Violet Hold. Damn VH... Runrunrun... come on portal... wait... Divine Plea falls off, then mobs spawn.
Jordan Dec 14th 2011 3:51PM
I tank old heroics this way... but then again I'm the tank, my wife is the healer, and we know we can handle it as long as the DPS pew pew we're all fine ^^;;
StClair Dec 14th 2011 1:33PM
Pretty sure that's how EVERYONE tanked in Wrath.
MisterRik Dec 12th 2011 12:42PM
I have't seen Crendor mention the PvP tank who constantly jumps up and down and runs in circles around the mobs nonstop, apparently not realizing that these tactics totally do not fool/distract the AI mobs the way they might a human opponent.

Amazing though it may be, Psycho Puller has now taken Leeroy Jenkins' place on the dias of most flawless characterization ever conceived for WoW in my mind, and in 1/10th the words and time XD
Difference?
Leeroy was relatively ignorant of his place in the raid, the wisdom of his impulses, and the consequences thereof.
Pyscho... he knows EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING. And it is neither suicide nor even griefing. No, Psycho Puller is virtually invulnerable due to the boundless, focus-less hatred and unmitigated evil he has cultivated and purified within the most secluded chamber of his soul into a now infinite contempt for all life, regardless of alignment or allegiance.
It's not that he disrespect the other puggers that quail in fear as he wades into Hell incarnate, or that he doesn't care about the healer that pulls 30k hps and goes full2oom in 30sec flat.
It is that these mortal concerns pale in comparison to his unholy mission to rip the souls of EVERY MOB IN THE INSTANCE and replace them with eternal crystals of immortal suffering in as little time as allowed by the laws of physics.
That... and maybe muffins. There are muffins at the end of the dungeon. And the endboss is probably eating, right now! X8
