Kicked from raid lol

Just sharing a funny happening a few days ago. Was doing Nymue, and we wiped a few times because heal check. Raid lead kicks me ( I was destro warlock 10m total damage before I died after big tree dudes died in heroic). No big deal I just asked why to learn from what I may have done wrong and he said "You dps lower than tank and destro is in a real good spot right now too ". Well yeah, I’d hope so since the only few casters we have had to soak the mechanics. Was a 2 4 14 with a lot of melee, of course, I’m going to be low dps when I have to run across matrix lines for soaks.

end story

10m as in 10 Million DPS?

The only issue on this particular boss is people not soaking the seeds and tanks letting the trees cross over. Blaming low DPS numbers for a wipe in LFR is absurd.

Sorry, total dps before wipe.

1st or 2nd set of adds?

1st, and then Nymue does the big raid-wide electric dance music festival thing

If it was that mechanic at around 2:30 that killed you, and you did about 10M total damage, that means your DPS number was around 65-70k, which is pretty low this season. You should be doing about twice that.

We did not lust and like I said in the post, I was one of the few casters who had to do the mechanics. I was doing a lot of running around catching the soaks and running bombs out because nobody else would since it was a mostly melee raid.

That would explain ~15-20k dps missing, not 50k.

Yeah, I am barely doing 130k right now, I was not as geared then and did not have runes or consumables, probably I lvl 455~

10 million dps? Or total damage? Because those are two very different numbers which results in very different situations.

I like to learn with my guild instead of pugs. That way, if we don’t hit the dps checks or mess up the mechanics, we can all sit and talk it out, help each other and then try again. It’s much nicer that way.

I honestly don’t know how y’all pug. I find that brave.

I am very patient, I shortly went into another pug and we wiped 9 times because a lot of people did not know the mechanics after it was explained. A hunter dropped the bomb on the raid lol and little soaks/moving across lines when ads spawn. The raid leader eventually said " yeah I’m done"

Either way, based on when they said they died, it was either a justified kick for substantial underperformance (10M damage done), or kick and report to blizzard for hacking/cheating (10M DPS)

Hey, it was probably the BM that ragemode keeps complaining about.

I mean I did not care that I was kicked, just wanted to know why to learn. It is not even a DPS check boss. DPS is not the problem why we were wiping, it was not enough people soaking and healers could not out-heal. Hence I had low DPS. The raid leader just did not understand that though. Hope they figured that out and finished the raid.

Tbh requesting higher dps when your group isn’t wiping to dps checks is a crutch. Me think they just want to avoid mechanics by powering through it.
