They'd just leave bodies behind at points, so I got alot of skins. They almost flipped when I skinned one of the bosses (Lavanthor, I believe) and got 11 Borean Leathers (he drops 5-12).

My solution has always been: if there turns out to be another skinner in the group, I just skin what it's my turn to loot and let them have the rest; if I'm the only skinner, well, I just skin everything.<br /><br />I've been a skinner on both tanks, heals and dps (my hunter was a skinner once, my pally is a skinner, and so is my druid), and you're right, people don't wait. Ever. Some will if you actually stop and ask, but more often than not your request will fall on deaf ears. In which case, I just skin anyway and if they die, I reckon that's their own fault. In which case, if they throw a fit about it, my usual response is simply "Well, I asked you to wait for me to finish skinning and looting. That you chose not to, despite your awareness that I was going to be skinning was your own decision and the consequences are your own responsibility."<br /><br />I'm all for quick groups, but running blindly through the instance without even waiting for people to collect their loot rather defeats the purpose of running instances in the first place. If people are so impatient that they can't be bothered to let people finish looting, then I don't want to be in those groups in the first place, so getting kicked is perfectly fine with me.Lassirrahttp://www.thehuntersmark.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-2977083032031209722010-01-12T03:11:53.940-05:002010-01-12T03:11:53.940-05:00As a druid, never give clothies dibs on cloth.

Also due to quick pulls, there is less time to skin, and therefore dps is lower. I try and grab whats convenient, and a greedy fellow skinner makes me more determined to get there before they do next time, prove I can do it too.. and then dps while they still skin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-63870153555659787602010-01-11T15:39:59.650-05:002010-01-11T15:39:59.650-05:00I always hold down Shift to auto-loot when I skin....I always hold down Shift to auto-loot when I skin. It saves me the heartbreak of seeing the chitin or the arctic fur for a split second before someone else gets it. If Shift is down it goes into my bag the instant it pops up.<br /><br />That said, my druid doesn't get to skin much when I'm tanking. I feel kinda bad if I'm skinning a half dozen mobs while the party is sitting there waiting for me to pick up mobs for them.<br /><br />I might do a couple quick skins, but I only clean house if I'm dps.Hanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020803566446071455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-84272271454920681002010-01-11T15:28:31.408-05:002010-01-11T15:28:31.408-05:00I've been in allot of Heroics group as both Ta...I've been in allot of Heroics group as both Tank and dps and with skinners in group or without. <br /><br />Its easy if you ask knowing the instance and the mobs thats there at the beginning of instance if anyone else is a skinner. If your the only skinner then its fair for you to skin anything thats skinnable. I've never been in a group that ever complained about skinning ever. But ive been in group where a skinner wanted to skin the mob and i just didn't have time to loot it and he wanted me to loot it so he could skin. No worries i just help him out and loot the mob or if im next to it. Im never in that much a hurry i cant stop for someone to skin or loot. I usually loot everything that crap adds up to a ton of money and the junk you pick up to vendor or sell.<br /><br />I guess if there is more than one skinner you work it out between the two of you. Otherwise in all my Heroics i don't really care if someone want to skin the mob, be my guess and skin away if you want to. <br /><br />But just ask at beginning of group zoning into instance and work it out from there. I have mining on my Paladin. But for all the nodes i see in some instance i don't have time to mine. Don't bother me if someone else want to. Often i'm the tank and dont have time to detour and mine node, so if someone wants to thats fine. One or 2 nodes not going to break my mining habit.<br /><br />As for gear if your off spec man it depends of how you handle that, it can be tricky at times with dual spec. But often if you need stuff for off spec and something drops just wait and don't roll, but ask if anyone needs the item and if they don't they ask if they mind you roll need the item for your off spec or whatever since you can use the item as well. At least more courteous way to do it.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-49997653776442364042010-01-11T15:19:44.806-05:002010-01-11T15:19:44.806-05:00Definitely, same for mining nodes.Definitely, same for mining nodes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-27349239443924258392010-01-11T13:20:18.846-05:002010-01-11T13:20:18.846-05:00As a healer, I'm always lagging behind to skin...As a healer, I'm always lagging behind to skin things. <br /><br />The pally tank guildie will often charge ahead to engage the next group while I'm still busy, he'll almost die, have to use lay on hands, and yell at me. My response is "why on earth would you pull without the healer there?" (I don't hear him complaining when I turn the leather into leg enchants for him without charging him for the mats.)<br /><br />Nevertheless, I get that skinning can hold up the entire group, so often I leave mobs un-skinned to keep up the pace. I'm not thrilled about it, but it's the compromise that doesn't get the tank killed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-76326728890967876332010-01-11T11:42:10.409-05:002010-01-11T11:42:10.409-05:00Concerning the skinning, I used to just skin those...Concerning the skinning, I used to just skin those mobs that I was in turn to loot since that was all I had time for as a healer. As my heroics got to be more speed races, the only place I had a chance to skin was in Violet Hold during the portal breaks. By then, it was sometimes too late to skin because someone else had beat me to the punch.<br /><br />I finally dropped skinning for Jewelcrafting and use my little bank alt to buy me what leather items I need.Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944722986881594862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-60644797827255680052010-01-11T10:29:44.200-05:002010-01-11T10:29:44.200-05:00Well, I don't have a lot to say on the skinnin...Well, I don't have a lot to say on the skinning issue, but I've come across the loot situation. Over the weekend I had a guy in our group go ballistic, full-on cursing up a blue streak in NERD RAGE over my winning a roll on dps pants in Drak'Tharon Keep. First of all, he was 2 levels too low to wear them and was tanking. (I was on my dps DK alt.) I rolled "need" on them same as he did and won them, fair and square. He hadn't declared he was after those pants specifically. In fact, no one said anything the whole run until the end boss when the pants dropped. (Btw, why is it always people on Muradin that are the crazies?)<br /><br />My process, as well as my husband's, is to just roll on gear concerning the role you're playing or announce that you'd like to roll for offspec. Some groups don't mind, and some might. <br /><br />Just my 2 cents. :)Adlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835176243372633738noreply@blogger.com
