Okey, Balance druid is currently top 1 dps, if you don't top the damage you are bad balance druid. There you go, thats what you wanted me to say? Thats not true, but there it is.
Overall Mythic HFC in pre-patch, these specs are doing better than balance druid;
-Fire Mage
-Shadow Priest
-Sub Rogue
-Ele Shaman
-UHDK
-Assa Rogue
-Feral
-MM Hunter
There are currently 12 different DPS classes, 6 of them does overall better damage in Mythic HFC than Balance.
But as it is, this data doesn't support the argument that there are better specs than balance druid.
Didn't I say "Balance shouldn't be topping the damage currently, there are better classes currently" - I think thats pretty accurate argument. Sorry for bad English.

When I said Balance druid is nearly the worst, at that time in HFC statistics only WW monk and Retri were worse, so I felt like being worse dps than 8 of 11 classes being better than balance is like balance was nearly the worst. Now Balance statistics look much better, warriors and locks are behind us already. You quoted me saying that balances shouldn't be topping the damage currently and claimed I said balances are worst, so I got confused.

No, I am sorry if I am hard to understand, it's because of my bad English. I just ment that if BM will do 100k dps and MM will do 200k, will your guildleader let you play BM on progress boss?
I don't buy it that just two days ago (ie after the reset day raids that are currently the vast majority of mythic raids) the statistics were that much different (especially since I routinely look at them and they weren't).
75th percentile:

Above hunters, warriors, paladins, monks, on par with warlocks and above enhancement shaman (you can't say "but elemental is better" because one is melee and the other ranged and they are not interchangeable).
90th percentile:

Same (and improved even) picture. And then you also have to factor in the padding that specs like Fire, Ele and perhaps Unholy inevitably (by design) do in contrast with our performance in priority targets and which makes pretty obvious we're in the strong spectrum of specs.

Fastest goal posts this side of the Twisting Nether.
Just how good does Boomie feel with the artifact?
No, all you were trying to say is that balance sucks in the pre-patch (your post is there for everyone to see) and now you're just moving goalposts. Balance, while not the strongest spec, has been pretty strong throughout the pre-patch (which, admittedly, I didn't expect, given the major impact the artifact has on our spec).
You played Balance on beta? You tried how balance ramp up works in mythic+? If you did, then you know balance will not be fotm for mythic+. Sorry for telling the truth. Balance will definitely be good enough for normal playing, but world record mythic+ it might not be. How many balance druids you saw on fastest WoD CM runs? W/E I don't care anymore about balance, moving to mage because guild has too few mages and we have like 50% of our core on leather users.
What's the deal with people making those posts and not saying what content they focus on?
People are debating stuff without knowing what is OP concerned about: mythic raids? mythic+ dungeons? pvp? How hardcore progress?
Kinda, from raiding standpoint most of apps are declined or players benched not because they picked the wrong class but because they fail at the one they picked. People can rank grey logs in every class, especially fotm class that has a lot of ongoing competition. That will keep them out of decent guilds.
Since guilds cannot fill every ranged dps spot with mages (and probably don't want to due to loot distribution, that would force them into using PL to gear all the mages), other range dps classes will always have a place. Even ele shamans or whatever is the typical underdog of ranged (yea I know in 7.0 ele shaman isn't bad, but was before).
