I was just wondering, as a frontier guild, if the dual-speccing and other changes made to the classes, you guys were thinking of bringing more hybrids to your raids. Stacking them, I guess is what I mean.
I understand that blizzard is greatly decreasing the cost of bringing a sub-optimal composition, so that you can bring in your most 'skilled' pve-ers. But as a mage who has often sat out so that the raid could get an extra healer in, or a shadow priest, or a warlock, etc., I guess I'm just sort of skeptical about whether raid stacking will really be a thing of the past. Blizzard has spread the utility around to some extent, but I'd say a 2nd, 3rd moonkin, brings alot more to the raid then a 2nd or 3rd mage. And then we're kind of back where we started. Anyway I don't want this to be QQfest, I'm just wondering if you, as an example of a frontier progression guild, is planning on bringing less pure dps to your raids in WotLK.
What are your thoughts?
