So for a long time I was obsessed with gear score, uber leet gear, and getting gear out the arse. This went against every philosophy of my guild and they always kept reminding me that gear doesnt make the player, player makes the gear. Now I dont think im bad with my shammy in dps or heals but I had a revilation last night, got into a PuG for HoL as healer.... yay, we were one dps short and the group leader wouldnt invite a mage due to a low gear score (low figrativly speaking for refrence his gear score was 1500). Mage did really good, our DK dps couldnt figure out a whirl wind to save his ass, he did die a lot but he was a good sport about it. Tank did a good job, the uber elite gear score obsessed leader was only pulling 1400dps.. Then we get to loken and everything goes bad, they think they are uber dps and opt to just stay in for his lightning nova, now I should have been able to heal through his nova but for some reason I just couldnt heal through it. 2 wipes later we do it the old fashion way and clear it and leave.
A lot of lead up I know, but a few day's ago I was running dps in a guild HoL run to help a guildy and awsome guy/player gear up to be ready for naxx, he was healing never had a single problem never had a single death. Everything went flawless and except for a malestrom weapon chain heal or 2 on loken (which is never out of the ordinary) he did a phinominal job healing, mostly in blues/greens. So this was a really good culture shock to me to not worry about gear, gear score and just focus on players abilitys...
In my honost opinion gear score is the worst thing ever invented...
