Background: I am in a Horde guild currently on Nefarian. We have killed Chromaggus the last 3 weeks, most without issue (I think 4 or 5 attempts until we got him the 1st time, then 1 or 2 shotting him the other 2 weeks). This week is our first Time Lapse. We attempted him twice(?) Monday night and got him to a whopping 95% or so. Re-evaluated what we were trying, adjusted, moved locations, and had several < 10% wipes last night (Tuesday).
Our last wipe was at 1%, probably around 20-30k HP left (he had been 1% for quite some time). All the tanks were dead, everyone was scrambling to drop all the damage they could on him and get the kill. We fail. Now, while this is frustrating, it doesn't actually make me angry. Shit happens, sometimes you wipe. What *does* make me angry, and in this case, downright fucking IRATE, is when people cost you a kill and a wipe because they are either slacking, or they just flat out fucking suck. We are talking in /p after the wipe, and someone notices damagemeters. Now, I always watch other rogues with CT_RA when I play, because I like to know when people die, so I can tell other people to ramp up damage, or tell them to Vanish when people start getting direct aggro flashes, etc. Because of this, I know that only one rogue was dead before the wipe was imminent (2% or so). We notice that the rogue in DEAD LAST (of rogues only, and not counting the one that died) basically cost us the kill.
For comparison sake, I have 7 Epic items that I wear for non-FR encounters. Bloodfang Hat, Pants, and Belt, Nightslayer Gloves, Quickstrike Ring, Drake Fang Talisman, and Vis'kag the Bloodletter. I dealt 182,500 damage to Chromaggus. The rogue in question (who will be.... spoken.... to today) has NS Chest, Shoulders, Belt, Hat, Pants, Onyxia Tooth Pendant, Corehound Tooth, and Perdition's Blade. 1 more epic than myself, possibly the best dagger combo in-game, and at least 110 energy (which can actually make a difference on an in-and-out fight like Chrom). Total damage dealt: 111k. Now, I am *always* first on every fight except Vael (damn you backstab), and occasionally Firemaw if I get screwed with non-resists, but even with that taken into account, there's NO WAY IN HELL I should deal 64% more damage than someone with equal/better gear to myself. That just doesn't happen, unless they aren't even trying.
At this point, I really want him /gkicked, because he's just a waste of gear that could be going to people that give a fuck and don't suck.
Cliffs: 1% wipe on Chrom, slacker rogue could have won the fight by not sucking, but didn't. Ban slackers.
