For once Ohshiftson and I see eye-to-eye on something. Thatās refreshing for a morning.
Heās correct, and all you doubters will disagree when youāre actually doing end-game content. If youāre not utilizing your classes full potential in a raid, youāre a selfish player - period. This comment will now get grouped with āmin/max elitistā, but that couldnāt be further from the truth.
If youāre coming to a raid, you should be utilizing the best spec for your class. Hybrid DPS serves no real purpose in the group, other than for utility purposes. They can all be substituted for other DPS classes that can outperform.
Why should a Ret Paladin take gear from a Fury Warrior? Why should a Feral (cat) Druid take gear from a Rogue?
If hybrid DPS are in a raid, they should be the bottom players to receive any loot, as it does not properly optimize the raid.
@ me if you will. Iām ready.

huh?

If you can create a method that can make the spec work, then why not? The op has literally linked a video showing they can make it work and even top the meters.
You talked about carrying, carrying what? If iām topping the meters and iām being ācarriedā, then what about everyone below me?
People are going into raid with greens, no flasks, no enchantments, with 20 people, people not even 60. I think having a pala in your raid will be the least of your concerns.

Butā¦ the meters manā¦ the meters.
Thatās likeā¦ the ONLY metric in the entire game.

Seriously, theyāre reaching at this point.

If you are a ret paladin in a raid there are 39 of your guildmates and friends in there with you. By playing ret you are not performing your optimal duties and punishing your friends and guildmates. Yes YOU are being the selfish player. If you want to run around solo reck bombing mobs you can do that to your little heartās content.

uuuuuuuh no.
you have a meme class with an extremely specific gear list, full shopping list of consumable (including the MCP) doing as much damage as your regular, unbuffed mage after a weekend of BRD farm.
This video point out how the best of the best ret paladin can beā¦ is your run-of-the-mill mage.
if you donāt see how people still laugh at thisā¦

The next subject should be how holy isnāt just the best pally spec but one of the best specs any class in the game can roll and how any player not smart enough to recognize that shouldnāt be in the raid at all.
We recognize it. We just donāt want to play it.
Next?

For funsies I looked at the Smite Priest thing, and thatās literally all it is. Even if you had the green light to take up a debuff slot for Holy Fire, you wouldnāt use it because its less DPS than just casting more Smites.
Although to be fair, Smiting for 670 every 2 seconds isnāt horrendous (this is unbuffed, with Phase 1 BiS with a focus on Hit/Crit over raw SP), and if you got real crazy and had a Ret available to give you Sanc Aura and judge Justice, you could do pretty decent damage of around 450ish DPS. Alas, no critical strike damage talent really hurts the scaling despite the spec getting 10% Spell Crit for free from talents (which is pretty huge).
Too bad the Smite-to-Heal spec wonāt exist for a looooong time. I liked that build.

whats a ret meme? i never started to hear about memes until all these private server players start saying it.
What?
In what world is having friends a list of checks and balances? A series of exchanges?
āOh, Iād better flagellate myself and play in a way I hate otherwise my friends might hate me.ā Dude, if your friends are gonna be sour because you played something you like, theyāre not your friends.

So because Iām playing feral dps instead of resto, I canāt use the tools my class provides me optimally?
I canāt innervate healers, pop tranq if the group needs it, battle res, or give melee a 3% crit bonus and additional armor debuff?
If you ask me, I think that taking a warlock in a very melee-favored raid such as mc is a dps loss, considering you provide next to no value outside of your soulstone and CotE.

Replace āmemeā with ājokeā and you get the concept. Just a new term for an old idea.
