There are some key dpsers in raid that show the ability to hit the ranking pages, but myself I have a difficulty doing that. It's not necessarily that I'm incapale, I was #2 with about 10.3k~ dps on Rotface the other week. However, on Festergut I can't even come close to 10k even if I did my rotation perfectly, our raid composition requires I stand at range and thus dictates I must eat a vile every single time my eclipse procs.
As a caster I am possibly one of the most effected by random unplannable movement. If I know ahead of tiem I can reduce the damage loss by moving when I need to dot and inching there. When it happens "hey you gotta go, sorry!" as soon as my eclipse procs I lose so much damage it's rediculous. So when you start considering about casters that can stay in and other things like that, consider I am capable of 10k in a tank and spank, and am shit on by rng movement more than anything.
Even though I have strong dots, you are not the only one that suffers. Mindflay is hands down my strongest spell and roots me to my position for 2+ seconds, if I move and clip it it kills my dps. Also my strongest dot requires 1.2 sec to cast it and my other dots do marginal damage compared to it. So basically if I have to recast VT because of the randomness of my rotation when I have to move or it is time to cast MF, my DPS drops very quickly. So what I am saying is most skilled playes that dont have to move at all or target switch would always do way more dps, this is just the nature of the game.
Better reiterate, "The numbers represent the median of the top 20 effective DPS/effective HPS numbers from players of each spec, per fight.". So more "best" than "expected".
I can be around tonight, but like in my last post I probably wont eb able to come tomorrow unless I have an infection or something. Going tomorrow morning for the pre-op stuff for my wisdom teeth If they do remove them tomorrow i wont be on for that raid but If they just do xrays and reschedule I will be on.
I will be available tonight but since I am assuming I wont be availble tomorrow you can take someone else. I'll be around and would like to go though :D.
edit: I assume by monday that the pain wont be so bad so will assume I'll be there for that raid, but seeing as all the people I know that had to goto an oral surgeon to get their wisdom's removed tell me horror stories, I really dont know.
reedit: Looks like I'll probably be available tomorrow, called them to see what they would most likely do and they probably wont be cutting them out tomorrow.
Come to raid this week with a full understanding of every boss, the boss's abilities, and how you need to react to them. Spending an hour getting people the gear they were told to get five days ago, then spending a half-hour explaining the strat every night, without fail, is getting very very very very very very very tiresome.
Likewise, I'd ask that if people REALLY want to raid, they start organizing their time such that they can come to raid on time, and stay for its duration.

Disrupter — Tue, 03/02/2010 - 12:06I'm still not feeling well but sleeping the last day and a half away, can't sleep anymore, so we'll see how I feel at raid time :(.
Sorry
talisdar — Tue, 03/02/2010 - 08:10Gang, once again sorry for my mistake last night, it is rare that I make them. I was working with very little sleep to boot.
