If you've been a recruiting officer or guild leader or whatever, you've been there. You're desperate for fresh blood, you don't get any nibbles, and then out of nowhere you get a totally sweet package deal along. Maybe they're husband/wife, or best friends, or roommates, or whatever. They're everything you want, though. Dedicated, experienced, talented, willing to transfer...
Only the classes they play don't fit into your comp.
Yeah.
There are a few ways the neighborhood friendly recruiting officer can handle this. One, she can explain that right now one or both of those slots are currently taken, and welcome them to run a different role or one of those alts they've got floating around. Two, she can tell them that unfortunately unless they're willing to have one of them run as a social there's no place for them in the guild. Or three, she can grumble and make the switch herself, even if it means switching to an alt she hasn't played, may or may not like, or...whatever. Because some swords are worth falling on, and if the ultimate goal is having a full raid force that shows up every night and gets the job done, you do what you've got to do.
So. For the one person that watches my stream, who probably doesn't even read the blog, I'll be healing on my shaman through the end of the xpack and into MoP. Resto and Enhance have changed juuuust enough that I've got fine tuning to do on my playstyle. FORTUNATELY, there hasn't been a huge stat priority shift in those specs, so...yeah. It'll be an easier 5.0.4 transition than my Warrior had. ^_^
Later this week: Roxi learns not to put metal things in electrical sockets, and Roxi drinks the kool-aid.
