Is there any random crap I gotta know before I ruin some peoples dungeons?

Probably not. Just make sure to bind your skills, keep shield block up, demo shout to reduce physical damage…

@Cakeboss-sulfuras

how can I tell when I’m being bad VS. When a DPSer is going too hard?

When you have threat on an un CC’ed caster, and the DPSer is tunneling on the disarmed phys dmg mob that you have a sunder on, and had threat on but obviously isn’t your primary kill target, you’ll know it’s the DPSer tunneling.

You can always make a macro and bind marks, if you’re playing with people who are new and need that sort of thing.

Marking Targets

Assigning raid markers and letting the group know what they mean can be a good tool in your arsenal, and quite helpful. Here’s a priority list macro for telling your party the markers and their assignments that you can customize however you’d like:

/p Markers and kill priority
/p {skull} primary kill target
/p {cross} secondary kill target
/p {moon} sheep target (please mage)
/p {triangle} hibernate or roots (please druid)
/p {square} distracting shot to frost trap (please hunter)
/p {star} twinkle twinkle

You can also assign these though the menu under key bindings > target markers. Or, you can create macros, e.g.

/script SetRaidTarget("target", iconNumber);

where iconNumber is:

• 0: no marker
• 1: Star
• 2:Circle
• 3: Diamond
• 4: Triangle
• 5: Moon
• 6: Square
• 7: Cross
• 8: Skull
