So fire was op as and got nerfed, now you look at epeen and worldoflogs (i.e. tsulong and lei shi logs) and u see arcane mages topping (some) charts. Do arcane mages need to a nerf now too?
6 stack camping needs to be killed, yes.

They have already started killing the camping with the PTR thats out making scorch weaving not viable so they are doing that, fire is viable with gear and frost is getting a buff, for a pure dps class you would think they wouldnt mind a spec being the best in dps but I guess people are just idiots
Just because a class is a pure dps class, they shouldn't be best dps in the raid. It should mean that you're got 3 different specs, played differently and competetive performance in raids.
playing a hybrid should mean that you're able to perform Healing/tanking/dps according to the situation, while being competetive in those situation.

Why? why should pures always perform near top?
Why should someone see other people with same skill and gear lvl always be above them in dmg just because they are "pure"?
You get to do dmg in 3 different specs, with 3 different rotations, play style and whatnot. paladins and priests only got 1 actualy dps spec. Which means once we get tired playing our dps spec, but still want to play the class, we'll just be screwed.
Pures get several options for dps specs.
Now, i know that you're fucked if you want to try and heal/tank but cba to lvl a new character, but we're fucked aswell if we want a new play style.

Agree. I have always believed that the pure DPS classes (Hunter, Mage, Warlock, Rogue) = DPS; hybrids = Utility. Though they should not completely destroy on meteres but stay competitive. I feel gimped as a character because of low DPS where as say a warrior/shaman/priest/monk/etc have the ability to switch to a completely different role.
When I look at Raidbots the top should be Hunter, Mage, Warlock, Rogue (not in this order).
IMO
How much stronger is 6stack camping with scorch comparatively to resetting with ABarrage? Any input on this? I'm kind of late to the party.

No mage spec is so lacking in DPS that you'd do better to reroll and start gearing up again from the start, even if druids or any other hybrid class are inching above you, please stop with the hyperbole.
and this is why I can never PvE... why... WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT A NERF WHEN A CERTAIN CLASS DOES MORE DAMAGE????? The goal is to kill the boss correct? Then why would you have to put on your elitest pants and demand a nerf when it's better that mages do more damage so that the encounters are over quicker... I just don't understand the logic... If you're going to be an elitest in WoW... then PvP, because PvE is no sign of skill.

Arcane doesn't need a nerf, 6 charge camping needs a nerf, which it is getting.
