Guys,you're going off topic again.

This thread was off since the beginning as Grimjoe thinks that bc meta possibilities weren't exploited.

If Smolderforge was patched to 3.0+ ,a patch before the release of WOTLK officialy but with WOTLK talents , i guess that would give some more diversity.

grimjoe u stupid

Okay, so basically, me saying that people should be going outside the cookie-cutter bullshit is somehow off-topic, and makes me stupid.

The logic of you idiots legitimately makes me question why I even play here, like the community here is so full of plebeians it's ridiculous. I simply think it would make it a bit more interesting if we could see something besides ShS rogues, cookie-cutter priests/locks/mages, fucking mix it up and do something different. Running the same bloody specs is boring as fuck and it just shows how fucking bad people are for needing to run these meta specs.

Don't tell me I need to prove that these specs are effective, people have proven it time and time again, Don't tell me I'm bad for not posting proof I can make them work myself, just because I don't have a video to back it up it doesn't mean I haven't already.

Honestly, you kids these days.

Let's make a table with the benefits and handicaps of the "original" specs you're talking about in comparison to the basic specs.
You'll easily see the reason of such "non-original" specs.

The example of shs is the best, high mobility, high escape possibility, high dps, cd reset, cd reduction, etc.
Is there any spec which will give you all of this ? No.

Anyway, you were probably successful with your original specs, against guys who weren't better than you, not saying that you were better than them.
If you face someone better, which isn't that hard for you I guess, you'll see how the hell the "non-original" spec will beat yours.

That's completely wrong, from when I was on retail in TBC, to the years I've played 2.4 pservers, I've made these specs work in BGs, 1v1, arenas, and world pvp against both good and bad players.

You're obviously too retarded to sit here and argue with about it because you've got this standpoint that just because the specs been made by someone at some point whether or not it was public, proven to work, etc. etc. etc. it means it's unoriginal.
It's not just about being original, it's about being DIFFERENT, outside the fucking box, it's about not doing what everyone and their little brother is doing. Fucking plebeian, christ.

I completely understand what you mean ,but this will never happen here. The majority of people here aren't even that fluent in english or read what their talents or abilities do. They just copy what they see from other players or just use the new talent and gear option. Besides TBC and patch 2.4 is old and pretty much everything in terms of talents or style of playing has been tested and seen. People don't want to put effort into learning something ''different' when they can just use something simple. It's the same in real life too. If a book took you 2 days to read and the movie is only 2 hours which would you choose ? They're almost the same ,except for the book requiring more time to read and having more details. And yes exactly those details in the book make the difference ,right ? But people would still watch the movie instead because of the amazing ''effects '' = burst,damage, (call it whatever you want ) it offers. Simple and easy.
