But you will tell a newb, with a statistically infinitesimal chance of making it to raid gear, to put their starting stats into INT instead of STR, STA, or even DEX which is horrendous advice. We know from past data that most people drop their hybrids around 45-52, at a greater rate than other classes. You proceeded to spend 60 pages consistently minimizing the contribution of increased output, with is directly proportional to sustain, in favor of a tiny amount of max mana that might some day be useful when fully raid geared and raid buffed.

There, in page after page, you weighted max mana comparatively highly against various other considerations, and here, page after page, you consistently minimized max mana against various other considerations, because it suited your rhetoric and whatever point you were making. To the extent that you're now both noting that a hybrid should almost never run out of mana, and yet recommending it as a priority stat for iksars in the same post.



Glad to know +HP is optional because if we all play perfectly we'll never die. Bonehead logic, this could be said about any non-output stat. Don't forget rangers are usually DPS and there is a massive opportunity cost to stand there for 4 seconds hard-casting a snare to save 15 mana. Yes you can cast it on pull, but you can also get in a med tick in on pull and generate a lot more than 15 mana.

at least someone else out there is seeing what im seeing when it comes to DSM lol
