Confused about my roll in groups...

[Snaggles]

I’m a big fan of self-improvement and being friendly rather than trying to lecture people in my group even if they are not being optimal. It has to be repeatedly near-wipe mistakes before I’ll ever pipe up.

The ranger should be helping you (rooting for aggro and DS) and the rogue should be coordinating with you (ie: “should I get on the other side or will you turn the npc?”). Most people won’t toss protips so I’d chalk it up as a odd bunch. If they were really twinked they still should have been polite about it and explained the logic.

What level are you and what level were they? Low levels it’s a feeding frenzy; later on people generally stick to traditional roles. Some groups mix up the norms but at the mutual agreement of trying something different.
