The World... of Theorycraft

Now anyone who knows me, and especially anyone who knew me before I quit (for hints, see my last update) knows that I like theorycrafting. Hell, I keep Cheeky's on a quick-link on my Quick Launch bar in Windows. I love math, love theorycrafting, and love analyzing the class for all it's worth. Part of the "Effort" in Stabilized Effort Scope, y'know?

Well, today's going to be a bit of theorycraft. Some things that have been flung at me on the forums got to me, and I started thinking about what they were saying. And, well, I think they're wrong. (Then again, I think anyone who makes an insulting statement without backing it up somehow is wrong, so there you are) I'll go and dredge up a couple of them - they mostly stemmed from my assertation that all I enjoy is PVE (which is true, aside from a random battleground to distract me from leveling). Let's see... *digs through post history* Ah.

"If you were actually about PvE, you wouldn't be specced Marksman. Especially Marksman with Silencing Shot."

Now, let's look at my Armory again. I've given you a nice link to it, don't be scared of it. I'll wait.

*feeds Fenix*

See my level? 64? Right. Now, my belief - and if someone can prove this wrong or make me think differently, feel free! - is that, until level 69, BM Hunters aren't putting out as much DPS as I am. Why? Because it takes being level 69 to have enough talent points to have both 5/5 Serpent's Brokennness (We on Stabilized Effort Scope will never call this by its real name) AND 5/5 Mortal Shots, considered the only reason to touch the MM tree outside of Go For the Throat. Now, maybe I'm just insane, but that seems like a good reason to be MM at least to level 69, myself.

Oh, and Silencing Shot? Silencing Shot is amazing pre-raiding. I can't tell you the number of twitch pulls it's been a godsend on. and I can't wait to see how it performs in Heroics. Once I get established in a raiding guild, it MIGHT go away for a second point in Combat Experience... but we'll see.

There were a few other choice idiotic comments in that topic (such as "lol have fun in zangarmarsh and maybe qq about how2.4 will make you hit 63 slower"), but that was one that really lodged itself in my brain and made me repeatedly say "Uh... no, I think you're fucking retarded".

Well, most posts on the WoW forums make me say that, so... :|

I did like how there were a few raiding MM Hunters who came in and lambasted that post, too. Keep up the fight, guys! ^_^;
