So its literally a lot less time spent on trash and more time running?..
Thank you for pointing that out.
Sure.
Until you hit a boss, which is where the difficulty lies.
Not trash 
No one is running directly from boss to boss without ever stopping. If you have more than enough damage to achieve that, then I would agree that trash damage isn’t going to make the run faster. You’re not at that point.
Again, if bosses are “difficult” to you, then the top parses in the world are irrelevant. Your group is not good enough to support Warriors. You should focus on Rogues & Hunters because they are much more forgiving to play.
But even in your own math, bosses are double the time of trash because you have to still run the distance.
So if bosses takes up OVER HALF THE TIME…
a group of top parsing warriors is still faster than a group of hunter and rogues.
Because they’d melt the bosses…which takes the most time?..
The top damage in that 14:28 run were 2 Rogues…
You’re arguing theoretically instead of looking at what actually happens. Reality doesn’t match up with your fantasy land.

so we’re no longer talking about top parsers?..
This link doesn’t have a single top parser.
Are we backpedaling arguments?..
Parsing is different from clearing quickly and efficiently.
When you are clearing quickly and efficiently, you look at boss + trash combined.
Boss parses are a retail thing.
Not surprising a retail avatar doesn’t get it.
Sir…
Nobody cares about quickly clearing the raid.
We’re looking at the DPS being done to the bosses.
Right. Because you’re a retail player.
This is classic. I’ll take quick clears over an hour long parse run any day.
-
are you in that top 500 though?
-
go look at the top parses, do yo think perhaps Warriors take 90% of the spots is because they can AOE taunt + retaliation while most classes can’t even AOE yet?

cringe.
sir…
Not even the OP is talking about speed clears.
We’re just talking about damage to bosses.
You came in here with your own narrative and moved the goal post.
Then make a separate thread about it.
I have been consistent at saying boss + trash combined is what actually matters in Classic and that metric is even between Warrior/Rogue/Hunter with a few Warlocks sprinkled in.
You’re the one replying to me and trying to say boss parses are the only thing that matter.
That’s not how it works here, Mr. Retail.
It is how it works here because there isn’t a single thread where “parses” are connected to speed clearing in classic SoD.
You’re the first person on this SoD forum connecting logs to “speed clears”
Go back to era, mr era.
Because boss parses are irrelevant in Classic. That’s what I said 20 posts ago.
The only people who care about parse runs in classic are retail players. Your average player just wants to clear it quickly.
This isn’t classic.
The bosses here matter much more than the “vanilla classic” ones.
I’ll take False assumption for $500 alex.
Forums > WoW Classic > Season of Discovery
That’s where you posted that comment, btw.
You’re the only person that cares about speed clears in SoD sir.
Literally nobody else has ever mentioned it but you in the 3 weeks it’s been out.
Everyone has used the logs to compare boss damage.
classic:SoD and classic are different games for a reason sir.
You can obsess over your logs and dps meters but my mates and I play to have fun not min max an easy game.
Brother, I can’t stand this guy but speed clears were a thing in vanilla because to parse you had have WCB and SF, and those buffs are 1 hour long. It required you to do both. But people were playing to PARSE not speed clear, they just HAD TO. Speed clearing was stressful as hell and not exactly a super great time.

At the point in the conversation where you said this you were the only one who had brought up blood frenzy, if you were getting deep wounds just for blood frenzy you would only take 1/3. But no one has been saying that they are saying take 3/3 because it is better damage.
