So, Crawler basically got himselves into a corner now - if I remember right Endus/Binkenstein had some math going which proves that we're 10% behind the #1 DPS. I've no access to US forums, nor I have twitter, so its up to you to bring the elemental spec into the right position.Unless you can demonstrate that "scaling" is going to cause a 5-10% DPS difference between one spec and another within a single tier (say 13 ilevels or so), we're not inclined to mess with it. I'm not trying to dismiss the concerns, but it's become such a buzzword among players that I worry scaling discussions are drowning out other conversations.
Its no secret the fire mage is best scaling class, and elemental the worst one.
