It's been bit since I posted anything here on the blog, but last night something happened and I just have to put it out there. I made the switch to my new guild, Dirty Hordes. I love my new guild, we raid on Tuesdays and Thursdays which works out really well for me since that's the only time I'm on. I also picked up my tier 4 gloves out of Kara last night (yay me!). Ok, on to the post about a fellow mage in the guild.
We were doing our Tuesday night raiding thing in Kara. I was informed that another mage would be coming along, and as it turns out, a firemage. I was thinking "cool, a little competition." So I zoned in to Kara, got a look at the mage's gear, which exceeds my own by quite a bit. She's over 100+ spell damage on me. I really didn't think it would be much of a competition, but about half way through the instance I realize that I'm out dpsing this fellow firemage by quite a bit, and I have no clue why....So I check her spec, and I begin to find my answers. Everything about her spec says she is trying to be a hybrid of some kind for pvp/pve. So I politely (and I mean politely) ask her if she pvps. She responds, and I quote "I only raid, I despise pvp". Huh? So I reply "I just noticed in your spec build that you have some pvp talents and thought maybe you were a hybrid build". Her "What, I don't have any pvp talents in my build". To which I pointed out that she had blast wave, blazing speed, impact, and of course to get blast wave you have to waste a talent point on pyro. She in turn tells me that she got her training from one of the best raiding mages on the server....I almost fell out of my chair. She says blast wave is her most potent aoe spell, to which I reply....not exactly, that would be dragon's breath. I'm trying hard to be nice to help a fellow guildie understand their character a little better, but it's just not sinking in. I point out the fact that I have less spell damage, yet I'm out dpsing her by such a wide margin it could only be her build that's holding her back. She doesn't like this, and we end the conversation on a good note, with me just conceding the fact that it's her mage and she can screw him up however she wants, I mean build him.... What do I do here? We need her to put out the damage, and if I had her gear I would be close to the top of the dps charts for raid night, but I can't get this person to listen at all.... I guess I just have to let it go and hope that we don't need her to really crank out the dps for any fights that she's ever in with us on raid night, because it will never come.
