<em>In the next installment of our guest post program, WoW.com welcomes Kelly Krehbiel. Kelly </em><em>plays as Galestrom, a Night Elf Hunter on the Turalyon realm. A proud member of &lt;The Elders of Turalyon&gt;, he's been playing the game for a little over a year. "The coolest thing to me, is really having fun with this game." His guild makes it simple, he says. "They're some of the most helpful and knowledgeable people I know, and they really make it easy to have a blast."</em> <em>In From Manners to Mechanics -- Five tips for DPS in heroics, Kelly explores how you can be at the top of your game during your random heroic dungeon runs.<br />
</em><br />
It's a known fact that we DPS are a dime a dozen. If we leave an instance (or are kicked), another waiting DPS immediately steps in and the fight goes on. For us, things are a little different. We're waiting several minutes to run heroics, hoping to close out our dailies before the 'Enter Dungeon' button finally arrives. <br />
<br />
While it's true we're easy to replace, there's no question we bring value to the fight. If we weren't around, it would take a significant amount of time for the tanks and healers to get the job done. Thankfully, <strike>enrage timers keep us in business</strike> we're handy to have along, so it behooves us to ensure we're doing our part. <br />
<br />
From the way we carry ourselves, to the very mechanics of our class, there's a few tips we can use to make sure we're getting the most out of our heroic runs. After the break, we'll show you how to do just that.<p><a href="http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/02/10/wow-com-guest-post-from-manners-to-mechanics-five-tips-for-dps/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>WoW.com Guest Post: From manners to mechanics: Five tips for DPS in heroics</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://wow.joystiq.com/category/analysis-opinion/" rel="tag">Analysis / Opinion</a>, <a href="http://wow.joystiq.com/category/guest-posts/" rel="tag">Guest Posts</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/02/10/wow-com-guest-post-from-manners-to-mechanics-five-tips-for-dps/">WoW.com Guest Post: From manners to mechanics: Five tips for DPS in heroics</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://wow.joystiq.com">WoW Insider</a> on Wed, 10 Feb 2010 11:00:00 EST.
