1: Well good thing sylv drops 259 gear so that fight has never been overgeared.
2: World first and 2nd guilds used 0 rogues on their kills of sylv but 3 and 4 did. Are rogues meta or not meta.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/charact...isqt#boss=2435 from the world 4th kill of sylv played ass on the first kill and sub on the 2nd kill(still ilvl 247) which if any of these kills was he playing meta? one of them? none? both?
Feral druid is the 2nd highest dps spec on sylv (2nd to balance). It brings different damage profiles and different cd sets (convoke vs frenzy). So there is reason to bring ferals obviously. Damage profiles vary on every dps in the game so you can extrapolate this to any spec. Hunters also bring no unique required utility or damage profile but are on the WF kills. While also not doing top ranged damage, why were they brought? Why are they still brought?
World first ran no resto shaman but my guild did (killed boss with raid at 250ilvl well below sylvs drop and also below 252 which drops from the rest of the raid) but we had another priest on roster. Why did we bring the non meta class? Shouldn't he have been sat? We weren't overgeared and we had a more meta class available. Nothing about his healing cds were required, we found use for them but the boss could clearly have been killed with another priest instead.
3: Yes or no question, much like the binary presented by your original statement. Unless of course you think both the following statements are true.
I can play whatever I would like in WoW without being deemed a "noob" or being sat
I can't play whatever I would like in WoW without being deemed a "noob" or being sat
edit: Here I'll spoil my point for you in the name of saving time. By using subcategories(which you are doing) you could argue canines are or are not wild animals exclusively. Canines are wild animals because wolves are canines and wild animals. Canines are not wild animals because domesticated dogs are canines and not wild. You are are arguing canines(not being able to play what you want without being sat or called a noob) is exclusively wild or not by using specific examples that are subservient to the overall point. When the answer is Canines CAN be a wild a animal. Just like some one CAN be sat for their pick/class/spec but its doesn't mean they CAN'T complete things as any class or spec. Before you try to turn this around into people should
always be able to play what they want without being sat.... no unless you think a raid of 20 holy priests should be a viable comp for a CE raid.

So you agree that you as an individual can play what you want, and complete all content without being called a noob or sat. thanks for the support.
