From the Files of the Benefactors Bar: Bad Player of the Week
by Trouble on January 18, 2010 under Bad Players
One of the favorite pass times of people in the Benefactor’s Bar is pointing out and making fun of people who are horrible at the game. As mean as it is, it is boatloads of fun and I’m not above being an elitist asshole to a certain degree. Let’s be honest, I read our applications forum and deny 95% of our apps within literally 3 seconds of opening the application multiple times a day. I have a lot of experience being a cold hearted asshole in the privacy of my own home. With that said I bring you some choice quotes:
Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I usually put out 1500 dps (more or less, depending on the instance), so did you by chance mean 2600 dps for Naxx? If I redo my talents and get a couple more epics I’m sure I could do 1600 DPS.
And the response by a shall-not-be-named Benefactor’s Bar poster:
I’m pretty sure I can autoshot/pet attack my way to 2k dps, at least. How do you do 1600 dps without purposely sabotaging your dps?
For reference, the Armory of the person in question is located here. Now I realize that most people don’t take this game seriously, don’t put a ton of effort into their characters, and don’t do a lot of research into doing things the “right” way. But this is a guy on the Elitist Jerks forums, posting about DPS. This SEEMS like the type of person who would actually be putting some effort into, you know, not SUCKING COMPLETE ASS. I just can’t imagine there’s any guides on EJ saying to socket 24 stamina into your gear, to use old world gems, or using items with expertise on them (and gemming for expertise socket bonuses!) as a Hunter. I won’t mentioned the stuff that’s ungemmed or unenchanted; maybe he’s been busy lately or maybe he’s donating all his gold to the Red Cross. I don’t know, I won’t judge.
There’s no real point to this post. Just to have a laugh and get your weekly dose of being an elitist asshole. It’s nice knowing there’s always someone worse than you. Enjoy!

I just want to say, the other night I respeced into 30% mana regen during casting, losing my overheal mana refund and lightwell.....best decision I've ever made. I never have mana problems anymore during Naxx, I'm such an idiot for not doing that sooner. So in defense of the class, good job blizzard on giving priests some better options for getting our mana back. Still wish they would redesign us to not be a whack a mole game and make us in GC's words: "really great at something" in comparison to the other healing classes. But hey, good things to those who wait :)

For those who don't know, there has never, ever, in the 4 years of WoW history, been a spec for ANY priest that didn't include Meditation. Occasionally a shadow priest might drop it (in TBC, anyway) if they had enough regen and didn't need it, but there was never, ever a holy or disc spec that didn't include it.

I can't believe it, but the guy impressed me, because he managed (i assume) all instances/raids without that talent.
@topic:
I've seen the same thing with a hunter of my guild last night. we know that he is underequiped (little bit worse than your guy), but we had no other dd for sartharioin. he did awesome 1400 dps. its a pitty that our tanks have more dps ^^

Wow, he dropped an excellent mana regen talent for another mana regen talent, when he could easily spec BOTH. People are incredible.

I'm not saying the guy is good but I kinda have to point this out. Survival Hunters get more AP from Stam then pure AP. They should stack stam. Our hunter has 23k health unbuffed and put out 4k dps.
So really next time you go make fun a toon, warented or not. For the love of God, Do not say things that make us want you put You as the next post.
