And arguments such as yours that are implying that we should be okay with the trade off of our util for increased dmg is going to make me assume you've never gotten a brd to 70.
(I checked, you haven't.)
So you don't care about how your job plays? You don't care about your rotation? You'd swallow an inedible rotation as long as they gave you a support kit? Also, I didn't even imply anything, all I said is that the BRDs I've come across seemed to be doing very good DPS. I didn't say you had to be content with it or whatever, just thought I'd share what I've seen so far. I'm not sure why you are getting this defensive over my first post which was totally harmless.
