Colicoid War Games
I queue up with my lvl41 mando healer. Flashpoint in progress... ooookeeey
I zone in, they are fighting on the second turret, so while I run up to them in slo-mo, have plenty of time to take a look on my teammates. Shadow tank, Mando1 dps in plasma cell, Mando2 dps in combat-supprt cell... All above lvl40.
We clear the bugs and go ahead to the robots. I was expecting Mando2 to swap cells, but nope, he stays in healing cell. That first group was a hell, almost wiped, no wonder tho, Mando2 was 'offhealing' or something like that instead of dpsing. Which proved useful to some point, couse our tank wasnt really tanking. Watched his bar and the number of buffs on it was 0. No Kinetic ward, no dps procs, only a tiny stack of harnessed shadows from time to time, so he must have been quite up to the tanking tree. His gear was also ok, tanking stuff, but due to his lazyness to use his tanking skills, he was melting like a dps... I inspected Mando2 gear aswell (bad habit of mine...) and he was wearing a rather unusual mix of aim, cunning, willpower and defence... O.o
At this point i gave up on him and ask in chat:
Me: why did you queued for a healer when you have one already?
Tank: dunno, you (me) came as dps
Me: nope (i never queue up for another role than my spec, i find it rather stupid if you dont have field respec)
Tank: ahh (he must have been noticed that im labeled as healer while Mando2 as dps)
Mando2: i was queued as dps (he is still in healing cell)
Me: if you are in gunnery tree (i saw some buffs during fight on him from that tree) you should use armor-piercing cell, not combat-support
No answer, and on last pack of droids b4 puzzle, he 'dc-d'. After we kill them, we decided to find replacement. So kick and a guardian joins. As dps. In tanking stance and tree. 'Facepalm'
Well nevermind, i dont say a word, couse at this point all i want is to finish this as fast as we can and get the hell out of there. While we clear rest of the fp (with some flying and confusion on puzzle ofc) i notice something interesting. Mando1 is in armor-piercing cell now. Oho! I watch his bar in the next pulls and i see some gunnery buffs, but at same time he is spamming charged bolt alot. So i whisper to him
Me: gunnery tree?
Mando1: yeah
Me: forget charged bolt then and use grav round instead when full auto and high impact bolt is on cooldown
A bit later
Mando1: nice, ty
When i saw him spamming grav round
Me: thats better
Mando1: it is
So we finally kill the last boss with two tanks and a hopefully decent commando dps, who was willing to take advice and improve his gameplay.
