Depends on how you define #1.

As a wizard I don't define #1 as requiring that I am the highest DPS. I prefer to have the raid be #1. That means I will cast my group buff that increases my raid group's dps in a fight, even though it costs me seconds to cast. In those seconds, someone else will be "dpsing" and I won't. Even though my own DPS will increase...it actually increase every caster in my group more than it does me. So I may be lower in the parse, when I cast it. So if I think only of me and making myself #1, then I wouldn't. But I think how do we beat the mob as a team, as a raid?

I want to do my part in that as best as I can, and in a hardcore raiding guild we expect others to do the same.

When I chose my sub-class AAs in EoF, I will be thinking about what makes the raid work MORE than what makes me look like I am #1. I love parsing high, but I have to balance that with raid goals including maximizing overall raid dps when it is needed.

You probably feel the same, but just didn't spell it out. If not, then , No, 24 egocentric, selfish, self-absorbed, egomaniacs, striving to be #1 without regard to the team, do not make a good raid or guild.

Sarcasm mixed with stupidity for the lose. It's clearly obvious why you are *not* an elite player though. I said nothing about a parser, this isn't lets shun my group responsibilities so I can top the heal parse. Nor is it I'm not going to cast my poison on someone because it gives them more dps and they might outparse me. This is about striving to be #1, in whatever it is you do, and having the motivation and fortitude to take yourself there. Some might call it that "it" factor. Some people just have it, and some people just don't, like you for example.

Nice reply. Keep telling yourself you are skilled. See? I can do it too!

that said, you're a fucking retard. go play a shaman on a raid, right there you are suggesting shaman in every grp and that the ae is hitting each person for 600~ dmg. have you actually ever raided before? or are you still sucking on darkons knob and getting his leet strats? every single ae fight a warden usually outparses a shaman, sure, single target, shamans can rock it up on the heal parse, that's np, but don't think you know everything about a shaman just because you came up with same lame shit outta your head.

yes DH does raid with a shaman or defiler in every group if they can do it. most of the time 3 of the groups will have a shaman class and one will be lacking.

also I would beat rlam on the heal parse while in the MT group with him more times then I did when I was in another group. Kaytala was generally in the "squishy" group and did / continues to do very well in that group.

there not all in beta.. 32 of the I believe 55 or so are actually in beta... thats why they allied with some french guild to have enough healers and bodies to be effective with the beta content. ( I named em all off to phal one night in cross server tells /yawn )
