Is there any other way to describe the following statement other than QQ?

"Do you know what wasn't present on any Wrath gear? Mastery. My DPS went down, and due to sup-par burst DPS, I was sat for the realm-first 25-man heroic mode Lich King kill."

Now, don't get me wrong. I love Shade, I think she is a great blogger and a wonderful ambassador for WoW, as well as being very smart and knowledgeable about not only the game itself but all the lore of it.

But that statement is pure, 100%, unadulterated QQ right there. Yes, it sucks that she was sat, but if I recall correctly, rogue dps in general was just fine after the 4.01 patch, I don't remember rogues in my guild generally having any problems. Someone feel free to correct me.

And the rest of the article is based around this premise of needing multiple gear sets and soaking makes you a hybrid. I disagree as I believe those mechanics have been in the game at least since wrath, I can't speak to bc because I wasn't around then but I think there were mechanics like that in there too.

I knew that post would get downrated, but you can't deny the truth of what is in that now completely blacked out comment.

inb4 this one goes to black too...

I had to copy paste your comment to a notepad. I hate the comment system on this site.
It seems perfectly respectful, and a valid opinion.

I agree with Shade that there is a problem, but I think she went about this conversation awkwardly. I don't know if I'd go as far to say it's QQ but it could have framed this discussion better. The entire section where she discusses the changes at the end of Wrath just before Cataclysm can be left out and her point still comes across.

Does it suck that she was sat out? Of course but Blizzard has never cared how a new expansion effects old content. So I get what you're saying.
