It's always the tank or the healer who was responsible for everything that went wrong during a raid. The only way a party could wipe pre-BC was because the tank couldn't hold aggro, or the healers couldn't heal/dispel/cleanse quickly enough.
Blizzard has changed boss fights with Wrath. Encounters now require everyone in the raid to be on the ball. Now DPS has to put out a little more effort than to go through their rotation while they watch TV, talk on the phone or whatever it is DPS do while not paying attention to the fight. How many times has your DPS died to a void zone?
The fact is that the raid leader and the raid as a whole survive with the Scapegoat. There is a Scapegoat for every raid at the bottom of the blame chain and the DPS charts.
But how do you become the Scapegoat? It's your first time in a 25 man raid, you'll be the Scapegoat. As the first boss goes down, everyone will see your Emblem of Heroism achievement. The only way with this is hoping that you're not the only one. If you are, prepare for a long, lonely raiding experience as the Scapegoat.
The likelihood you will be dubbed the Scapegoat goes up 100% if you don't have vent or a mic, or you live in a tiny apartment with paper walls and your wife/girlfriend is sleeping right behind you. Some people refuse to get in vent even they have it, have a mic and live in a sound-proof room. These people are lazy and deserve to be Scapegoats. Get in vent, noobs!
Someone drops the Mutating Injection in the wrong spot and it wipes out all the healers and half of the ranged DPS. It doesn't matter that you're melee DPS stabbing Grobbulus in the back. It doesn't matter if you were off-tanking slimes halfway across the room.
Some positive idiot hung out on the negative side during Thaddius and the whole raid wipes. It doesn't matter if you were stealthed and AFK at the door. It's your fault.
With your abysmal DPS, the raid leader gives you web wrap duty on Maexxna. The main healer gets webwrapped and dies, the main tank dies, the off tank dies, melee and ranged DPS die, the other healers die, no soul-stone is up, people release and run back. Everyone sits, drinks, buffs up, hearths for repairs and get summoned back, all while you slowly wriggle your way to death, wrapped in a corner. You failed on webwrap duty, and since you don't have vent, noob, it's your fault. Geez, you're so freakin' terrible even Maexxna forgot you were there.
You may wonder why the Hunter with an idle dragon-hawk pet standing 2ft to the lest of the web-wrapped main healer was spamming raid char for someone to post the DPS charts in the middle of the fight instead of getting you out of the web wrap, but you can't. Even if you had vent, no one would listen to you. You're the Scapegoat.
The raid leader will designate the Scapegoat right after the first wipe. If you are one of the lucky ones who is not the scapegoat, then thank the Wow gods and immediately jump in the blame game. Offer reasons why you think did or did not X, and what he did do instead of X. This is so much easier when the gotas is unable to defend his or her alleged Xing over vent. Then you are free to postulate.
This is where general class knowledge comes in handy. Name one of goat's classes spells that would have been utterly useless in the fight. If is a Druid, tells everyone over vent that you saw him spamming Teleport: Moonglade over and over. If he is a Warlock, explains that you saw him creating firestones during the fight. You will get a few chuckles and appear like an expert and be immune to the Scapegoat label for the remainder of the raid.
You can report the DPS numbers from there. If the scapegoat is higher than you on the list, just say you lagged out during the fight. Say, OMG! Only did 900 DPS LAWL! Be sure to give the Scapegoat advice on how to play his class. Do this so everyone can hear it. You don't want to give him advice that's necessarily good or that will help him be better, you just want to be giving advice so you look like you know more about the game.
