Well, I play a WAR so I don't who is right about the SCH job. Although I can relate because I fall into that WAR v. PLD issue that always seems to be propagated by baddie-fear-mongers.

I define elitests into two categories:

1) They KNOW what they are talking about, and you should listen.

2) they know jack$#!%, they probably fate-farmed their way to level 50 and don't have much in the ability to think for themselves because they read (in such a half-@$$ way) all those technical 'theory-crafting' data and assume that just because they learn the word "mitigation" well above their school grade level, they think they have the right to judge those who fall into a lesser category.

Take heart that 99% of self-proclaimed elitests fall into #2 (no pun intended); if playing your SCH the way you do gets you by in the game then just roll with it (but be prepared to learn from a REAL elite when the time comes to advance, or you are going to find your stall really fast).
