If you have a 10-man raid and your mage is hitting above 2k or 3k or 4k, depending on difficulty tier…why does it matter?
If our frost mage can’t out-DPS a tank, then that’s the issue. Our frost mage out-DPS’s our VDH tank every time. I don’t think this is as big an issue for average players as this thread is trying to make it out to be.
If you’re currently in the world first race or hoping to get a server first in a mythic raid team, then you have valid points…and should not be rolling with a frost mage.
If, however, you’re in a heroic raid group like mine, clearing the normal tier like mine did and then easing into the heroic bosses…bring the frost mage and just make sure they’re banging out more than 3k.
