Guess I should’ve clarified what specs and periods I meant that were times where we performed well. Yes you’re right, there are a few(more than).
Anyway, not getting into that now as this part of history matters less.
I should mention like above, that the class in general does well with dealing with mechanics during fights.
A downside due to later trends in terms of fight design is that we see many of them where it’s favorable to be able to multi-dot or deal with several spread out targets at once. This is not something that the class does well with.
Focusing down targets and stacked AoE, we can deal with.
But the above, not so much. And until we get some extensive changes to existing specs or until we get something like:
#[Suggestions updated] Pre-Legion Survival [4th spec]
…I don’t see the situation changing anytime soon.
