Most of these posts (for all classes) are simply garbage speculation on things that you haven't even experienced. I remember reading on warrior forums "OMG NO TG GOT 15% nerf zomg life is now over". Tested it myself, wasn't too bad, not the greatest, but still not as bad as everyone made it out to seem...
This is how I am viewing many of these "wow that nerf just broke my class" posts.
BTW Pyrostemplar is 100% correct. I don't know how you idiots think otherwise.
1. YES, IF you can heal (not saying you will) this WILL lower your dps in a raid as a full dps spec. Just because you can do it does make a difference. Think of it this way: why would ->ANY<- player EVER roll pure dps class if they can just roll, lets say a pally, and be able to tank / heal at gold cost and change gear whereas if they rolled rogue, only be able to do one of those.
2. Seems like all hybrids who complain (not just palas) expect to be doing same damage as pure dps counterparts. Never gonna happen. Any time that a hybrid class does more dps than a pure dps class it is a bug and it will be nerfed, so yes expect them.
3. Yes, i have firsthand experience. My main is a shaman. He is not top on the damage as enhance. If he is then usually the other players suck completely.
4. You are all idiots if you say your utility is garbage to a stupid meter. So you'd rather be wiped on that huge raid boss that you want loot from and #1, but hate to be #5-6 and have it dead because your buffs helped down it. Right.
You're just plain stupid if you think that you'll be equivalent to a dps class. No other way to say it.
