RDM the unwelcome DPS :(

[RiotSiren]

Like before i agree with everything said here. Rez in other content is fantastic and I enjoy the utility a lot in non savage content. The only point I want to make on this thread is about savage content, the party finder and community gatekeeping. As stated in the initial post im not a theory crafter so pure balance isnt my objective here. As far as rDPS goes Im definately not arguing that we should have an equal amount to classes without non-dps utility. Shortening the rDPS gap would be very nice and most of the classes feel fair to me in regards to DPS with the possible exception of the current top 3 DPS's. I'm in no way stating that RDM can't complete the raids because all of the classes most certainly can! I just want to be able to do savage content without being refused because of the class I enjoy the most.

I very much value your opinion (and all others on this post) and thank you for supporting the mix of ideas!!!

Same!

I agree you should not be excluded just because your class choice. What I'm saying is even if you are really pushing for rDPS you shouldn't be excluded. RDM does about 100-200 less rDPS then a MCH at the same skill level, which only amounts to a roughly 1-2% difference, which is not even noticeable. The reason I brought up casual content was that balance doesn't happen in a vacuum, taking away RDM ability to chain res in savage takes it away EVERYWHERE. The res is a big reason why the class is very popular with more casual players and taking it away to give RMD more rDPS would make them very unhappy.

All I'm saying is fiddling with RDM ability to support is not really a viable option with out making alot of players very upset. I really hate to say this is a player issue and not the devs fault but it sort of is. Looking at the numbers RDM is actually pretty fine right now and players, ever the hard core ones, should not be excluding it from their groups.

Unfortunately things wont change until the perception that RDM is "weak" goes away.
