I was testing affliction spec today over my usual destruction spec.
I noticed it's a total sham just by multi-dotting your tricking the meter into giving you higher DPS which isnt efficient in a boss fight.
In a boss fight you wanna do your job and nuke the proper target asap to finish the fight much faster. It seems recount doesn't take time into consideration and all the people are just praising affliction and simcraft. The fight is more than numbers.
For example on Beth'Ilac I was affliction my DPS was literally 5k higher than destro spec but it was a total sham as we finsihed the fight longer and I see this because im wasting time dotting every spinner, instead of burning SKULL and being efficient and switching to the next target. The fight takes longer..means its wrong.
Long story short In destro spec we finished the fight almost 30 seconds faster with the same variables. IMHO affliction is just dotting useless things and making the fight longer and manipulating their DPS to have higher numbers on recount
Does anyone agree?
