Hmm well I can see your point, and probably haven't noticed it because I
haven't been on many raids with my bard. But the shammy getting exp on
raids? *dies laughing*
What I would like to see is raid platinum distribution myself. In a month
of guild hunts, I've not seen a single pp... yet those rogues and rangers
"give it all to the guild" - yeah, right.
Everyone tells me that bards are bad at soloing, and that shaman are the
best. I can solo 10 times better with my bard. Personally, I think its
because people are very poor at picking out "soloable" areas and mobs.
What a shaman can solo, a mage will crumple on, etc. I guess I tend to look
at things like how long actual downtime is, the ability to handle multiple
mobs and play with a variety of classees rather than just damage dealing.
Kinda funny how things are on other servers and other guilds, SK's are like
the joke of our guild. We have 1 SK and 1 Paladin lol!
