He's a dope.

A Hybrid unable to do any other role is not welcome in the other roles and so is just a poorly itemized shadow of a "pure" class.

Boomkin without a healing set is about as useful as a Warlock. Except the Warlock is better in DPS, mana, has a pet, can do more than just throw damage, and is actually wanted in raids.

My elemental set is crap, and it has around 600 SD and over 10% crit by itself mostly in blues no one wanted.
My Resto set is always on me, has around 1300 +healing and 120 MP/5. I have respecced to let the guild do another kara group and I have been the main healer.

Hybrids should be doing their thing and having the gear to help in extra roles. Pure classes complain and offer reasons why the hybrids shouldn't be as good as them with "But you can also do this." Well, if you can't you aren't even close to being a hybrid or useful.

You know, a bank alt with those extra herb bags could open bank slots for gear. Not like the herbs are always needed right away, if you can't make stuff with your current stuff, you need to fix your system.

My bank alt has a good 2-3 14 slot bags full of herbs. I carry a 20 slot herb bag. I never need to worry about having what I need as a good 3-4 minutes gets me what I need to make it.
