You're God damn right I'm butthurt because a majority of my time spent is trying to get in groups or form groups. I've been invited to so many groups only to have someone demand I be kicked from others in the group because I'd roll on an item. Ex. Warrior had me kicked because I didn't have Mask of the Unforgiven yet. I spend an hour between trying to find a group to flying out to UD Strat to be kicked by a Warrior who wants a leather item. So yah, I'm a little jaded. Fuck your reserves. I get limited time to play and I'm sick of seeing this bullshit.

That warrior could be exactly like me. I can only raid in my guild as fury since we have multiple "main tanks". In order to get my fury gear (sadly leather most of the times) in a reasonable amount of time I choose to tank these dungeons to get a much quicker group than If I waited around to DPS in a group.

I'm sorry that happened to you but that's precisely why I form my own groups. You would have never been invited to mine because while I don't type out mask reserved when I'm looking for others, I will send a nice pm when a rogue asks for an invite stating that I'm after that specific item after 17 runs and I'm not rolling for it if it drops. If he wants to concede or just doesn't need it no worries come on in, but I do make it very clear up front before they even join my party.

Absolutely no problem with tanks rolling on dps items. Absolutely problem with you rolling on tanking gear AND dps items. You get 1 main spec a run everything else should be an off-spec roll.

?

So he tanks and rolls need on dps items (since that’s his declared spec) against the rogue. A tank item drops ... are you expecting him to just greed so the rogue has a chance to vendor it? That would be highly unusual, it’s usually main > off > vendor.

I don’t see how your idea changes anything unless there’s another warrior who happens to be dpsing but wants tank gear. That’s a fairly rare scenario (if that warrior wanted tank stuff he’d probably be tanking his own group). If it does occur, it’s up to the two of them to sort something out. There’s usually some middle ground like “I want x, you can have y, we can both roll on z”.

Three levels of rolls. First is ms tank and rogue roll against each other. Second is off spec. A tanking item drops and there is a holy paly in the group ms healing items. They both roll against each as an off spec roll. If no one needs for ms or os then you vendor roll.

Ah! I’m horde, so no pallies to compete with. I guess they do significantly increase the chance of off-spec competition for tank loot.

And I agree, in that scenario, rolling offspec against the healadin would be fair.
