Hell you can play your spec in pubs or when soloing but when you have 20 people that want to kill a boss and you refuse to play the best build and rather stay arouns tank dps I would tell you to gtfo too. Maybe look for a guild with a more casual approach? Have been in guilds doing both myself, both work fine. The ones that would have people playing the best specs rather than whatever spec they felt like also usually had other restrictions, some good and some bad (high stress but damn i appriciate it when 100% of the raid has a working microphone rather than 2/3'rds) | ||

But i also think people should not be resentful for not having a raid spot because of their choice to play an underpowered sprc. | ||

If he's set on being in a cutting edge guild, then obviously a spec switch may be the only thing that can allow him to break into a raid roster. | ||

Not sure how much better some class options would be but I tank as Blood and we have generally DH and sometimes Warrior as other tank. I'm still bitter about gutting so much tools from Blood, but at the current level we do stuff it has been enough that it never really feels like I'm the one falling short on making progress. Overall pretty fun expansion despite the randomness. There's almost always more things to do even though the rewards tend to feel lacking when you get further. | ||

I think we ultimately agree on the same things. My main point is that there are plenty of guilds that are not on the cutting edge that are looking for any competent ranged dps right now, and if he's getting benched for people that are objectively worse than he is just because of spec, then there are progressing guilds that would take him in a heartbeat and appreciate what he brings to the table. If you're playing a bad spec but you're 875ilvl, show up 15 mins early with full consumables, get 80'th percentile dmg standard and don't mess up mechanics then there's a lot of value there | ||

I've fallen behind ilvl (855 where the rest of my guild is over 860) and have suboptimal stat distributions as well as bad trinkets (2 haste statsticks) simply because I can't get mythic+ groups. It's a self-reinforcing problem. armory link? | ||

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/doomhammer/Monkeyslayr/simple The 862 with 856 equipped is because I have 2 865 pieces and an 890 trinket (the shitty one off Ilgyanoth) that are DPS downgrades for affliction according to the sims. | ||

865 haste statstick probably isn't that bad (don't know warlock weights but 870 haste one is one of my best trinkets) You've only cleared most mythic dungeons twice even though we're on like the 7'th reset - just go run the regular mythic dungeons, they give good stuff and they give solid AP and legendary chance. A huge amount of items warforge at least +5 levels or socket even if you don't need much, as well. A bunch of people have done 10x more dungeons than you on at least mythic difficulty, you can see that in the statistics as well as in the amount of AP that you have. | ||

It's easy to get your two best stats from crafted gear but it's also possible to get 100% of one stat, just very rare - that's excellent for example with crit on fire mages. 865 haste statstick probably isn't that bad (don't know warlock weights but 870 haste one is one of my best trinkets) You've only cleared most mythic dungeons twice even though we're on like the 7'th reset - just go run the regular mythic dungeons, they give good stuff and they give solid AP and legendary chance.

Dungeonspammers have done 10, sometimes 20x more mythic / mythic+ dungeons than you I'm aware, I just have 0 time to play other than raiding and Friday/weekends, the last 2 of which I've had multiple other events I've had to go to. If I can't get groups together in the short time I have to play, I can't run much. Normal mythics are a thing, they're just a pain to pug the 2 I need the most (Court and Arcway). | ||

Mythic is tough but its one of the things I see that unless you guys were pushing for high world clears it should be more of playing your class very well. If they are dropping you because of one night then that's kind of messed up if it wasn't clear before that they might be dropping you because of your dps. My one thing I dislike is people showing up and not putting forth effort. If you put forth effort in a spec you like to play (even if it is not the best) and do good numbers, I would rather have you than someone in a better spec who doesn't put forth effort to play well. I haven't been in a high progressing guild since TBC though because of choice, but I still put forth the effort of playing as well as I can without breaking myself (I'm not min maxing as much as I could, using cheap enchants (150 instead of 200), dont have 375 food learned yet (lol Nomi burns everything)). I am normally pulling 260-300k on most fights (assa/outlaw rogue 859), but am only 3/7 Heroic with my guild. | ||
