Hi everyone!

I have taken some days to figure out how i feel and want to keep going in the game.
I have played my mage for 4 years. I have played all speccs and know my mage well in that point. Today in raid enviroment there is only 2 speccs that is playable. Arcane and Fire.
Fire is fun in that way that you have dots and can do decent dps when running. Arcane is more about burst but terrible when it comes to movement.
For me its fire that is a decent specc to play that fits mostly all fights in Dragon Soul.

But for firemage mostly everything is about RNG i need to crit 2 times in a row to get a instant pyro. I have 10% chance to procc a fireblast (impact) that can spread my dots. This have started to be a pain for me that i always have to realy on luck. Lately i have totaly lost the feeling of to play my mage. I just get frustrated when i know the fights and how to maximize my output but many times i dont crit and dont even get my Fireblast to procc so i can split my dots i can manual cast living bomb on targets but that is mostly a dps lost because of inner CD.
I have played many classes and i can say that close no class have such bad aoe in way of RNG. Fire can rock you can do hell of damage if you have luck in right time in the fights. But also give you tears when you just wait and wait and wait and when all is over you get your crits and procc..
Arcane is different you dont suffer at all of RNG. But you dont have any dots and you cant dps when you run. Arcane is ok in some DS fight but will be far behind many classes so as i see it arcane is just a booring 1 buttom pressing.

This have made me come to a decision and that is i will quit playing my mage in raids from now. We have a good range setup even if you dont have me. And as DS is pretty easy now with all nerfs you wont miss a mage. Shamans have there totems to also make up for my buffs. And now you dont need all buffs to do the bosses.

Im fully aware of that boat is important with the dragons but as it is my mage so far just done decent in damage output. Shamans elemental as we have 2 now do good with there chainlighting.

I dont want to let the raid team down but as it seems now fights start to be pretty easy and we overall have good dps.

What am i planing now
Xhaidy will stay in the guild but i wont raid with her. Of course i will help you if you need a range.

I will start playing my DK as main.
If guild want me to stay raiding here i gladly do that. I enjoy raiding with all of you. Im fully aware of the situtation and if you tell me that you dont want my DK in the raid i will find a new home for Xilens.

I hope you understand why i do this mayby doesnt like it but atleast try understand it. I will not expect a spot in the raid so dont feel bad to decline me. Its just a game and the most importants is that you always have fun and do what you feel is right.

A new day has come and i want to be a part of it!

I'm disappointed in you considering you told me just a short time ago that Anbhas would be your final guild in WoW. Trust issues with people in WoW is one of the major reasons why I've been transitioning leadership away in recent weeks because I simply can't deal with working in a team where people lay their commitment so lightly.

There's nothing else to say at this point other than to wish you well Xhaidy.

Oh - I dont read it that way at all Liam. He pays the fee so he can play what he wants, sounds to me he isnt enjoying mage and we dont want anyone playing what they dont enjoy surely?

I see he recognises how this might look but I dont see what else he could write, taking it at face value. Doesnt like mage anymore, want to play dk - understand if no place for him to raid as dk. Doesnt sound like an ultimatum to me.

Guild is perfectly entitled to say no place for another melee and recruit another mage or ranged. Though Dk on boat would be good if CAl not tanking and dk ? v good on spine.

Upto guild to decide what it wants at the mo. - probably not another regular melee dps, but Xhaiden is a very good player and I think keeping on the books is to our advantage but possibly as a social mage.

Don't really know what to say other than good luck in whatever happens dude.

Personally can't see melee helping much when the current melee are forced to sit out more than anyone but that's just my personal opinion and everyone else may disagree!

Good luck dude, love you :)

I think at the end of the day people play whichever character they want to, unfortunately the raid team require a mage more than another dk. Obviuosly a mage replacement will be required, but I'm not sure there is really an available melee slot. I guess depends if your happy doing the alt run or finding a new raidspot for your dk somehwere else.
Anyway good luck

Hi everyone!
I can´t say anything about your feelings or thoughts about my decision. But I am aware of that you don’t want me to be a melee DK in the guild.

But now I have gotten some response from you and I understand that you don’t see me to any benefit in the raid team. I accept that even if I don’t agree about the discussion about Range favors. Sure there´s two fights that favors range but otherwise it also favors melee. A DK is in some ways also as a range because of my dots that do much damage. I think I have shown that pretty well in many of our alt runs.
Of course I wanted to still go on in the raid team but as a Death Knight, or at least hoping to do that.

But as we stated from beginning :
“The guild was built on a philosophy of creating a relaxed friendly environment, power sharing amongst all founding members rather than a leadership hierarchy and a goal of achieving strong raid progress efficiently in a 3-day schedule”
And your word is the raid team law and that is how it should be. (Sorry for repeat it but it’s a way to lead that I like)

I´m a raider and always will be, that’s my main goal in the game. Even if I now have some other values than just have the best progress and try beat bosses first.
I will stay in the guild with my mage as social but I will now leave with my DK. Nothing big in this except that you won´t have a bored mage in the raid.
But Xilens says thanks for a enjoying and learning time.

I hope you won´t get angry and kick my fiancé Wantja from the guild. She has a goal to be Exalted and get the nice bird so she have done a lot of rep to help up the guild to lvl 21 as me with Xilens :P
And to use scarrs word
Love you all don’t hate me :wub:

/x
