elemental dps...my 2 cents

[cyloria]

ok finnober i am going to point out a few things..

see who is taking the MOST damage in the raid even above the tanks it is shamans yes and you are the highest.

now look at this..See how much you took in damage from the blood beast. And you have thunderstorm that could knock them back.

to me this kind of thing to get amazing numbers..is ok if that is what you are after, but to come here and say that Elemental are fine after doing these kinds of things to get those numbers is not good for the elemental community. And it is hard for me to point out these kinds of things to you since you are kinda my shaman hero..But i also don't like to see us held back by those kinds of tactics and your epeen.

love cyl

its normal mode <.<
And our 2. tank take care of the bloodbeasts.. but his performance(latency) was kinda gay today... thats why i aggrod so mush with only cl-jumps.
Normally he has no problem keeping them away from me^^

Its not like I'm trying to wipe my raid only for higher numbers.. I'm doing this only if theres no risk an it^^

ok i understand you care about your raid. My problem is that when people look at you to see how well we can do. Which you have been what i try to be like for a long time now. And when the developers look at our top dps'ers and they look at your numbers they think we should be able to do that. When in reality most people don't have the guild support to take the most damage and to do what we want for our dps to be top..We need to do what is required of us. Which is to do what the fight mechanics normally call for...I am glad you can, because it makes me feel good to look at your numbers and dream..I just have a hard time with you saying we are great. When you have to go to such lengths to get your numbers. i do know you are a great player, but i do not think elemental atm are in a great place.

I'm not saying we're great.. but that we can compete :P ( under best circumstances )

It makes me a bit sad that i can do those numbers only in 25er mode... in 10men raids theres no way to have optimal support..

Sadly yes, I always have to drop ToW and can use Fire Elemental only on some trash packs. Also on Saurfang I am assigned to dps/knockback the beasts.
Still I broke my dps record last week, of almost 6k dps ^^. http://worldoflogs.com/reports/fwh3m...?s=4899&e=5173
