An Elemental question - Blue Tracker

#0 - Nov. 1, 2008, 1:20 a.m.

First of all Happy Halloween!!

I read in a beta post that you and developers think fire makes the difference for elemental dps at 80.

My question is Does this statement you made consider gear progression?

The concern for elemental shamans who wish to raid is that our DPS might be about par with boomkin and Shadow priest when we first start doing Naxx. providing we are equally geared ( blues and some bage gear for example) and are using the best raiding spec we can and the best spell rotations that we can. But when we the same classes mention above and us are all in Full naxx/t7 gear that our dps no longer be on par but will fall a great deal behind.

We just want some assurance that you and your team will make sure that not only will our dps will be on par at 80 but will remain on par with boomkin and Spriest and slighty behind the pure classes as we progess thru t7 t8 and t9 content

Thank for attention to this matter

In our testing, Elemental did single-target dps in various levels of Naxx gear that was on par with other dps specs.

But since there seems to be a concern among Elementals that they don't scale well with gear, I'll put a blue on this thread to give them a chance to explain those concerns.

Q u o t e:
The only thing I don't like is when he responds once, ask for proof to claims, then proof is presented, and he doesn't respond back.

There are literally hundreds of posts in this forum. I'm not going to respond to every one, and certainly not multiple times to every one.

I do read them all though. Reading them is much faster than responding to them all.
