Im not gonna claim that every1 is like me and like to progress in a raid iven if that means playing the optimal spec rather then what im familiar with, but im having a hard time believeing that im alone in thinking so.
And does it really matter if a boss dies in 2.50 or 3.05? probobly not..
does it matter if all 6dpsers in a 10man raid have inferior specs? pulling only 80-90% of what they could with another spec? YES IT DOES
Do you think your healers will thank you for making what should have been an easy 5min kill instead go near or mby even over the 6min enrage timer because the 6dpsers play "the spec they enjoy"?
This has so to do with so much more then (shortening the leght of fight). Higher dps helps the overall progress, and in my experience (again it may be that i have a truly uinque experience of the 10Million players in wow, but i dont think so) that makes the raid alot more happy then not progressing even while playing their favorite specs.
I whould think every1 wants to progress? are you saying that is something that only the server 1st players want to do? I whould think (yes i may be wrong, some ppl rly just wanna watch the world burn) that every1 wants to progress, and intentionally underpreforming doesnt help progress.
eh? so, you find it more challenging to play and preform good as fire then doing fine as arcane.. did you just said that you find it harder to play good with 1 spec then bad with another?! isnt that pretty obvious? its like saying its harder to run fast in a forest then walk on a street.. i dont think any1 will argue that but i dont see what it have to do with anything.
And as for easy seems best.. im still 3rd on firemage ranking from a kill 2 moths ago prenerf (was rank 1 at the time), but since the nerf i havent even gotten close as so high with firespec. Yet as arcane ive been getting closer and closer until yesterday i beat by old record with 215k dps on our elegon kill. (and no you will not find the latter on on wol cuz the only1 in our guild that upload logs is on vacation :<)
You seem to think arcane is only better if your a bad player.. trust me that isnt the case, it preforms better for any1 who have half a brain to manage their mana (wich appaerntly is not you.)
