'Sure, the game allows us the illusion of character customization as it currently exists, but that illusion is shattered the moment you try something unorthodox, like taking a Frost Mage into high-level raiding content. It doesn't matter how much you love playing a Frost Mage or how skilled you are; there is only one truly optimal spec out there at any given point in the game's lifespan, and you simply didn't pick it.'


Christian has basically tossed Frost Mages under the bus, with this statement. I don't share his opinions, and I resent that someone who holds his opinions is placed in a position where he can state his opinions as facts, and dis me (and other Frost Mage players) for our choices.

Our guild is farming everything except the new stuff from 3.2, and my DPS often pushes 4K, and just as often leads the meters. I supply far more than 'a table, buff everybody, and get out'.

And a side note to Mr. Gildenstern: If YOUR frost mages can't hit 3K, then you must be a friend of Christian's, and may Wow have mercy on your soul.
