You’re so correct about the Aura of Confidence. If you act like you know what you’re doing, this can go a LONG way in having respect from your party members – or at least letting them know that YOU are the leader, tyvm. Even if you do have to ask a question or two, you’ll have cemented in their minds that you are The Leader already so it won’t be a big deal.

< am hoping it will blow away the current level of stagnation in randoms and get people think more and do more. I only hope that overgeared morons will not be able to steamroll their way to 85. I want to see them slam hard into the wall and learn to play again.

Good advice Rev, and you’re absolutely right about faster pulling actually making things easier in the long run – I tend to pull just fast enough that nobody has enough time to type “gogogogo” (faster if I can trust the healer). Plus, faster pulling can make life more interesting for the healer, in a good way – usually if I’m healing on my shaman with an over-geared tank, I spend more time DPSing than healing (earth shield auto-heals ftw).
