Original Post:

In my opinion, fire damage should be capped at 1000. You can say it's too harsh, or cripples fire mages' competition with frost--whatever; none of that matters, because you're missing the simple fact that it's possible, and if it's possible, people will do it. If you disagree with this simple, unrelated fact then I [assume a dismissive and flippant attitude toward you.] If it's possible, players will do it. I was a mage since I got my first alpha email in December 2003, including a dwarf mage, so I don't need a lecture. Little side story, my friend is mage class leader, and he does some DPS in raids. He doesn't always do as much as rogues, but with invisibility there are basically no limits now. Fortunately his AE and sheep abilities warrant bringing him along most of the time. But if he couldn't DPS well or AE or sheep I just wouldn't find it worth bringing him along. But over all I am not concerned about fire mages overtaking frost mages or vice versa. These are completely true stories by the way. The moral of the story is that I don't even know why mages would argue with this, because a 1000 cap on fire damage simply allows them the opportunity-solution to work on their other stats such as stam, spell crit, and agility, so really it's helping mages.

This is basically a summary of what Jayde has posted in his last ~3 replies on this thread. He's a class balance troll who has single-handedly ruined this thread with defensive-class-balance-posturing and pure sophistry (If it's possible, people will do it, you cannot dispute this, therefore the other unrelated thing I said is true-- sophistry 101). How is he not banned? If I had an obnoxious sig, could I troll all I wanted too?
