Brigand and raiding desirability ?

Yzyh · 06-10-2008, 12:22 AM

I know that having 1brigand really improve the raid DPS.
But the brigand class seems to be freacking popular (at least on my server its seems to be the most played class around my lvl. )

Its really cummon to be 2brigand in a group and in a 2group raid were always at very least 2 brigand if not 3 and 4 sometimes.

So I am wondering. Will I be able to join a raiding guild later on ? They are wiling to invite more then 1brigand in a raid ?

Bcuz if I can't be used for my debuff their is few class that can out DPS me.

Raids can use at least two brigands per raid force.

personally I would say 1 or 2 brigands are optimal! That is if the 2nd brig can time dispatches, and follows up!

A 3rd Brigand doesn't help to much imho, only makes things worse for the other two brigands in terms of timing Dispatch. I would rather take a pure DPS class over a 3rd brig, as it is just overkill

We run 2 brigs, both in JC rotation. More dispatched for everyone! :D Also, it frees up a brig to keep debuffs on a named in encounters where other brig is with scout DPS on adds/scripted encounters with rest of raid force.

Also, it is nice if someone goes on vacation or has other obligations.

As far as apping for a raiding guild--be honest. Talk to the recruiting officer, raid leader and/or guild leader and find out what they are looking for. You are likely to get an honest answer if they are a serious group. If they have 2 fulltime brigs, then you most likely would be sitting most of the time.

Once again, I have never seen anyone NOT want to have 2 brigs in the force. DPS classes, at least, will not complain. ;)

I almost NEVER Get Jcap.... Dunno why though.... And i'm normally the only brig in raid =(

Because your troubs are idiots?
If you don't get it by auto. then make a macro to your troub so you get JCap.
If you are a brigand then you should have JCap Immunity up at all times.

QFE. The most frustrating thing for me to do is to argue with a troub/shaman about JC or Alacrity. Makes me want to pull my fucking hair out.

I'm not asking for myself, I'm asking for the good of the raid parse you silly bitches... no other ability will increase raid dps as much as dispatch... RABBLERABBLERABBLE AIEEEEEEEEEEE

sorry, pent up anger >_<

When I'm grouped with our main shaman i get Alacrity regularly, but due to it being a group only spell, thats every once in a while.

Jcap.. eh.. I'll see what if i can't fix that.

Honestly what is the counter argument troubs use to giving brigs JCap, which increases raid dps which in turn means less attacks the mob does, less hits the tank gets, less heals the priest use, less mana the raid uses, and less time the raid takes to complete.

I just don't see wtf troubs think giving wizards or w/e else ( insert class here ) is better then giving a brig JCap.

Edit : Maybe I can see it on certain fights, I guess, but in general brigs should almost always get teh JCaps!

Brigands should ALWAYS be JCap Immune.
