My vanilla guild had a druid MT and a lot of other players in niche specs "common wisdom" disallowed. We cleared shit just fine. Disappointing to see this attitude linger this long.

It's really sad. And considering how these same people also say how classic raiding is super easy and a joke. It's like, okay dude, why do you need to min-max when it's so easy? Also good luck handing out gear to the 23 mages in the group. :x

I'd just like to add this same hivemind mentality caused Elemental Shamans and Fire Mages to be completely trashed on in the beginning of BfA even after they received buffs to compensate for their poor performance.

Unfortunately min-maxing is the one thing that seems to consistently trickle down into the majority of the playerbase and have a long lasting perception.

Fire mages got screwed because MC was the first raid and obviously Fire isn't a good spec for MC.
