Ah I must have missed that somewhere. Everybody else has been discussing chain pulling.

I have mentioned high end targets multiple times. I have used Ixiblat Fer and Fungi King as examples. If you can think of harder targets a 4 man caster/priest group can do, please let us know.

I agree we should be talking about high end targets. But there a Shaman is even better.

In a group where you are killing a hard mob in 120 seconds, the DPS difference between a Mage and a Shaman shrinks to 20 DPS on an unslowed mob because a Shaman can use their DoTs to full effect. Hard mobs are probably going to be slowed, so the DPS window really shrinks to about 10 DPS (less hits = less DS damage), which is basically nothing. Shamans have the superior Malo, the superior slow to Enchanters, and the superior ability to tank with Torpor. There is literally nothing a Mage brings to the table on a hard target other than 10 DPS and CoTH. A Mage easily loses on most hard targets, unless you are doing something like Chardok Royals where you are using CoTH as a pull strategy.

Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder / Asperger's Syndrome:

Tendency to think of issues as being black and white, rather than considering multiple perspectives in a flexible way

They have difficulty with semantics, such as understanding the meaning of words within different contexts. They may not understand that you “love” pizza in a different way than you “love” your mother.

They have an obsessive, consuming interest in one subject, to the exclusion of others. Examples include knowing every fact possible about The Beatles, the Federal Papers, Buddhism, train schedules, cycling, the stock market or Star Trek. Their obsessive interest may even be something that could land them in hot water, such as explosives, deviant sexual interests, computer hacking or firearms. A celebrity (or even YOU) could become their special interest and experience unwanted attention, harassment or stalking.

They can come across as “The Professor,” because they have a tendency to go into long, pedantic monologues about their obsessive interest, not recognizing the other person is bored or isn’t being given a chance to speak.

They come across as arrogant.

They cannot “read between the lines,” so they interpret everything literally. Their thinking is concrete.

They have difficulty in generalizing. This is known as the “forest through the trees” issue, or, more aptly for someone with AS, the trees through the leaves.

When they hear a difference of opinion or an attempt to explain a different perspective about a situation, they become defensive because they see it as conflict, or a criticism of who they are. They can become quite defensive when asked for clarification or a little sympathy. The defensiveness can turn into verbal abuse as the man with AS attempts to control the communication to suit his view of the world.

They are always right. ALWAYS. They will frequently say that you are being irrational or illogical.

You often find their behavior exasperating or even infuriating. You may find yourself saying, “You’re not listening to me!” or “You don’t understand. You think you do, but you don’t” or “That’s not what I was saying; you’ve come to the wrong conclusion,” but they will continue insisting that they do understand, perhaps telling you that you’re the one who doesn’t understand—even when it is your own experience or feelings that you were trying to convey. This is the main thing that frustrates partners of people with AS. First, it’s the lack of understanding and empathy; then it’s the lack of being able to understand that they don’t understand; and then it’s the insistence that they do understand and that you’re the one who doesn’t get it. You will feel that they don’t really “know” you or “see” you (they don’t; they aren’t able to), and you will be unable to resolve any conflict you have with them.

Although they may first appear to be highly intelligent, you will notice that their knowledge is restricted to a few narrow subjects and is quite lacking in a general sense. Among individuals with Asperger’s, those with high intelligence are a minority (just as they are in the general population). Their reputation of being highly intelligent is a myth.

You claim to care about DPS, but you don't want your group members to DPS (lol).

Yelling randomly about autism.

PlsNoBan is back to yelling about autism as a derogatory remark because he lost the debate (again).

I am not always right. The data is simply in my favor for this discussion. The math isn't hard, and easy to double check yourself.

Enjoy increasing your unfortunate post history by claiming anybody who disagrees with you is autistic. That is your most favored method of argumentation.

Chortles Snortles is just trolling again, as usual.
