I was listening to a podcast in which class leaders from Nilithium,
Method, Death and Taxes etc discussed various endgame-raiding issues.
So? Why do people listen to these guys? In the past
I've seen Nilithium treated like prophets with the holy
scriptures. They're just the ultimate in obsessive
compulsive guild disorders, no reason to worship them.
There are undoubtedly other guilds without the same
level of public relations and self promotion who've
finished all the raids while using different tactics,
probably while having more fun.
Yes other guilds could use different strats, but the boss fights
usually only have 1 or 2 and rarely 3 different methods to take them
down. most have to do with positioning, not with spec or group make-
up. All boss fights since pre BC had optimal group make-ups. And yes
their word isn't the last word on it, but having the amount of
experience they have they are probably making valid pts on group make-
up as well as spec. Just like the best Arena teams currently have no
Druids on them. Even though I've seen a 5v5 made entirely of moonkin,
and figting a droood can be painful as hell. For whatever reason the
best classes for Arena (at least represented by the best Arena teams)
Seem to be Warr pallys and Shammys. I don't Think any of these end
game guilds are saying its the only way, but in their experience its
the most efficient way.
We've all been involved or watched the videos of the crazy group
makeups. 8 man Ony's, shadow priest tank only. Ret pally Hand o'
rags tank Nef etc. etc. but these have only been done when the gear
is already present, and the raid is so well geared and tuned to the
fight dynamics that improve is possible. But when your first going
into a raid, inevitably their is a tested and true way that blizz
designed the fight to be pulled off, only after you've got Kara on
farm do you or whatever raid/instance your in do you think "hey why
not have X class tank Y boss for fun." Until your in the epics you've
previously farmed from that guy those "non-optimal" group make-ups
rarely succeed.
