I always thought it was a Flying Gong of Awesome.<br /><br />@Shintar: I gotta be honest, I ignore ready signals from anyone but the healer unless the DPS are in the same guild as them and therefore might know.<br /><br />@Gronthe: I do that too. Sometimes slows things down when I do my lockpicking yell and then spin in circles trying to face whoever just stuck one in my face.<br /><br />@Anonymous: "This is the deadline. You cross this line, you die." I like to set it pretty far back.<br /><br />@Eversor: But the real test is, do you shift ever so slightly after you res someone so they don't pop up inside you?<br /><br />@Hana: They're not quite so LOUD.<br /><br />@Roz: That's something I do, sit when the healer is drinking, to say "I'm not going anywhere without you."<br /><br />@SlikRX: It's our version of shuffling papers.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-5000623145111451662010-02-19T18:46:44.927-06:002010-02-19T18:46:44.927-06:00I will strafe or jump... never thought about doin...I will strafe or jump... never thought about doing a cast/interrupt or casting SS on the tank.<br /><br />Then again, as long as nobody is AFK, I pretty much dont care. Well, I'm not a fan of a 7 minute sprint through Nexus either, so no biggie.<br /><br />BTW, another way Pallies can hint is by cycling Auras. If they change to Crusader (aka "pony") Aura, or cycle between Seals (Vengeance is a VERY obvious one) they are uring you on...SlikRXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385000304830840202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-15298770391585134072010-02-19T18:42:01.670-06:002010-02-19T18:42:01.670-06:00Great topic, and something that I think about a lo...Great topic, and something that I think about a lot, so I'm actually de-lurking to post a reply. :) Another "personal space" thing that bugs me is when people run their toons right through other people's toons. I always try my best to weave through the crowds in Dal. I know it's silly, but barreling straight through another toon just feels so rude to me!<br /><br />One of the sweetest PuG tanks I ran with while learning to heal would /sit down next to me every time I stopped for mana. It was like his cue to the impatient DPS that he wasn't going anywhere until I was ready. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970332485672368883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-37005831217879117322010-02-19T15:02:06.476-06:002010-02-19T15:02:06.476-06:00I love the PoM from priest.

When I'm healing on my pally I never let SS or BoL drop, so I'm not really used to accepting either as a signal.<br /><br />Jumping also works for me as a "ready set go".Hanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020803566446071455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-51717779221249349582010-02-19T12:51:15.821-06:002010-02-19T12:51:15.821-06:00Too funny.

When a tank asks if everyone is ready before a boss, I rarely type out a response, I just cast prayer of mending on him, misdirect or take another class-appropriate action and assume that he'll correctly interpret that as my way of saying that I'm ready to rock.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-79995664551779415432010-02-19T09:06:45.283-06:002010-02-19T09:06:45.283-06:00When tanking I live for those "I'm ready&...When tanking I live for those "I'm ready" signals from healers. Priest frisbees, druid HoTs, paladin bubbles, shaman earth shields. <br /><br />My default body language as a DPS for "let's go" is to strafe rapidly left and right. That's how a group of friends and I used to show we were ready, and I get really amused when strangers start doing it with me. Along those lines I like jumping in place too, especially if someone else is jumping and I can get in sync with them.Isanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-35824801536131944262010-02-19T08:55:31.214-06:002010-02-19T08:55:31.214-06:00Sprint Bubble is from priests. :)
My Holy Paladin...Sprint Bubble is from priests. :)<br /><br />My Holy Paladin says "gogogo" by putting Sacred Shield and Beacon of Light on you.<br /><br />My Druid says "gogogo" by blanketing you in HoTs. If you have more than 1 HoT, you are being urged. If you have SIX HoTs, by God you better be taking some damage.<br /><br />My DPS characters don't have a "gogogo" action. Though I might consider the cast / cancel cast for my Mage and Warlock.<br /><br />Both of my Tanks have a "you guys are SLLLOOOOWWW" when tanking. That would be when I'm standing in front of a pull moving left-right-left-right in rapid sequence. With my Warrior I will wait - with my Paladin I'm likely to just pull anyway since most of the trash can't kill me.Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936803721440329897noreply@blogger.com
