PuGs. Oh, Glorious PuGs.

Have you ever needed just ONE more person to fill a run? No required class, just something that can poke at mobs. Last night I ran Blood Furnace with some friends. Me, healing at 63; My good friend Dugrel on his Prot Warrior, level 64; and a friend of his on a 60 Hunter. While we weren't to concerned about the run, we knew we needed atleast one more to smooth things over. Enter "swiftedge" the 60 Rogue.

When we summoned him, and I saw the 45 greens, I was ready to boot him and say we 3-man it. But alas, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He currently sits on my friend's list.

He sapped, which any proper Rogue does, but the big kicker came when the fighting actually started. He waited. He gave a good 5 seconds for Dug to grab aggro, then even opened up from stealth with a Kidney Shot to stop a Shadowbolt! That would be a new trick in my book, I'd never seen it used in such a manner, beyond starting the stun-lock that kills me.

When I got aggro from one of the minions a summoner produced, he ran back to it. He grabbed it, then popped evasion to tank it so I could focus on keeping the Tank and Pet up! He is by far the greatest Rogue I've ever run with. But I distrust somebody who can drop combat while everyone else dies, so that list IS limited... (Here's looking at you, Hunters! O:<)

So I guess the moral of the story is, never start off distrusting a PuG. Wait till the first pull to make assumptions. :P
