Hello, i know Arcane vs Fire/TTW is the hot topic today, but I have another question/help I'd like to bring up. I've switched from a slow progression 10man guild to a 25man guild that is focused on progression (to an extent) since 2 weeks ago. From our raid lastnight, the 2 Arcane mages were doing pretty well and were pretty well ahead of me (which I still argue have to do with my lag and my lack of experience on the new content). Since this guild does not have the same people running in every raid every week, there seems to be alot of times that there's no Affliction Warlock (I believe...I don't see any ISB on the WWS for the 2 locks that ran) and no other Fire mages in the run. I haven't brought it up with the RL as of yet (I want to get my facts first) but for other guilds out there that do 25man's in a similiar situation, do you,
(a) Put up Improved Scorch at the risk of lower dps?
(b) If so, how signifigant is the loss of dps (what's more important to a raid team in your opinion, my amount of dps or my buff)?
(c) If you do stack Scorch, do you swap out the Glyph of MA for the Glyph of Scorch? Or just leave it, click on the Scorch 5 times?
I believe this may be a noob question, just trying to catch up to the rest of the mages out there since I seem to be behind. And yes, i did do a search prior to this but it seems like the posts are fairly out of date (the one's on this subject anyway).
