I hate the negativity and lack of confidence. Yes we got screwed hard in the DPS department in TBC but were exceptional tanks (something that was much sought after in Vanilla). Now we lust for good dps, and Im pretty confident that it will come. Skill wise we may not even be done yet, who knows still a few months to go.

Regen here is replying to a pessimistic TimWischmeier and he tries to shine the good sides.

This fact angers me even more.

Blues stated that we will be forced to change spec to change role (as every other class). Anyway having to respec when performing a different role is not only fair, but is the reason that will put us together with rogues and mages (if not above em) as top single target dps.
In fact, there aren't more excuses that prevent us to reach them. The "supreme raid utility" (brez and innervate) that we bring is underpar (or maybe just "different grade of usefullness") to the utility that those 2 classes bring.
For those that still don't know, mages bring

Focus Magic - talent - tier 3, arcane (it requires 10 pts, but pretty much all the mages were goin for AT LEAST 18 pts in arcane)
Increases spell power of all raid members by 150. Last 1 min or until 50 charges are expended.

while rogues got

Tricks of the Trade - spell - trainable
The current party or raid member becomes the target of your Tricks of the Trade. The threat caused by your next attack and all actions taken for 6 sec afterwards will be transferred to the target. In addition, all damage caused by the target is increased by 15% during this time.

We're still not sure about the final version of these spells, but surely the utility is looking HUGE. Prolly better than innervate and brez.

Adding to this that they both have some aoe dmg ability, while we have noone, we should have also the right to be ABOVE em as single target dps.

Now, i really don't understand why other classes and even druids still state (in this forum and also in others) that kitty dps should be raised, but only to 95% of rogues'. Someone to 90% (?). Someone else to 80% (!?!). I can understand the random ebayer mage. But other druids... even other ferals!

Did 4 years of "master-of-noone" made us so masochistic?
