At which point the healers all ask the OT if hes ready to pick up the mobs when they let me die. They even did it once... they said it was a los issue, but when they pop a picknick basket and sit down for a drink, even a dumb warrior like me gets suspicious :) Some nights I’m just not feeling the love and chain pulling isn’t an option, but then theres the nights that the group is just working perfectly and I tell them “I aint stopping till someone dies.”

We are as a guild that just entered T6 content quite close to the bear mount which with our gear requires constant chainpulling.

Like the single ghost pulls in KZ. If I feel people are drinking too long, I pull 1 or 2 ghosts, build some quick threat and then jump down to have the mobs run straight through the group while doing some leeroy jankins style talk on vent. Usually wakes everybody up. I absolutely love any kind of stairs/edges when having a slow raid/healers. Like the single ghost pulls in KZ.

I will usually wait for all the healers to have above half though, if they don't already. I like to get through Karazhan trash pretty quick, so usually we’ll kill a group/single and move on quickily.

Or if I'm pulling too slowly, it's followed by "PULL DAMMIT!" We're both speedaholics. I have pissed off a few people, notably maintanks in Kara, but getting multiple whispers from the raid thanking me for throwing in a little excitement makes up for that.

I know every healer in our guild personally. Having healed next to them, and knowing exactly how much healing a pull is going to require, has cut our guild kara clear times by over 3 hours over the past couple of weeks.

I'll pull carefully and wait till full mana on every pull until they tell me to pull at my preference. At this point I just begin to spam pull with the statement "I'm not stopping unless someone screams." My best friend immediately screams, because she is a butthead.

I totally agree with you. Only problem is, my horde guild really hasn't gotten that far compared to the ally guild i was in. I really want to push through and maintain a rythym, but they want to take things one at a time. I tried to push thru the trash after entering the back door in kara 2 nights ago (the one mob pulls), but they were still taking drinks at 70% mana (which still baffles me). I know one healer that can do this out of the 3 that we usually take. (i know.. 3 healers are usually a bit much for kara, but this is our progression atm) I kept moving up the stairs while they were still downstairs, they didn't move up the stairs with me, i got pwned, then the OT couldn't pick it up and we wiped... i was saddened...... :( @Gorrack
