    Why would I have a frost spec for PvP when I don't PvP often? Sure when I do have a PvP spec it's great but if I want to optimize my raid performance by going AoE Fire/Single Target Fire I lose the ability to do dailies without a huge amount of pain. Hell doing the Bloodgluch quests in Twilight Highlands on my level 84 still mainly ICC gear level ret paladin was easier than it is on my full 346+359 fire mage.

    I don't know how hard it is to solo on mage, but I find it hard to believe no one would team up after a quick /1 lfg. The only quest where teaming up slow you down is the escort, spiders silk, and crocodiles skin, and two of them arent up every day, and the 3rd one can't be that hard solo.

    Even if it's not as fast, you can probably get away from that place in less than 20 minutes (unless you get all the gayest one). People won't naturally team up, but I rarely find much resistance if you ask.

    How do you only have one spec, those are the ppl that i never invite to my grp for anything. If they too cheap to spend 10g on a dual spec w/allows them more versatility, then i dunno, then they just scream bad player to me

    You don't need a spec tailored for dailies, you just need one tailored to not suck at dailies (which I doubt fire is that bad btw). With any sort of talent mod you can make a profile and save it so that it takes all of 5 seconds to change your spec, then you're off and save 10 minutes or more while doing your 12 or so Baradin dailies, and in the meantime make more from the quests in gold to pay off the cost of the spec change.

    How do you think dedicated raid healers (who often have 2 healing specs) do dailies?

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I think they just said they have dual spec but one is single target fire and another is aoe fire.


    Which is also crazy but ya.

    I don't really know any healers who do dailies to be completely honest, all of the healing trinkets are retarded easy to get compared to every caster DPS trinket in the game. They opted to skip doing 180 dailies in a no fly zone and having to respec for a 346 to a 359 upgrade where as caster DPS rarely can afford to do that.

    Lots of healers do dailies, they just bother to respec for them. After all, all healers have the ability to run a dps offspec in a pinch. And, for all except paladin, the gear is almost the same. They don't sit around and whine about how 66 gold is breaking the bank, or whine that their dps class isn't any good at killing shit. (Which is lmfao; as a mage you can't kill shit? Bigtime l2p on that claim)

    Bottom line, you just don't want to put in the effort. Boo fucking hoo. Suck it up.

    You must not know many healers, not everyone does those dailies for the PvE trinket. If it's really that big of a deal, wait until a game ends and join a group, or invite the random people killing the shit you need as you pass by. Or simply offspec frost (AoE/single target fire specs, lol).

    P.S. It's not hard killing shit as fire

    While it's true it's not hard to kill shit as fire, to be fair the mobs in the little dungeon areas of Tol Barad can respawn crazy fast and fire isn't exactly known for it's ability to keep shit off you.

    That at worst means you do one daily a little bit slower because you can't stay in the good spots for the prison food crates. Warden is camped almost always (hell, you can probably train all your mobs onto the AoE spam and they'll die), and prisoners for kill quest spawn outside too.

    How the hell am I supposed to gear up in heroics when half the time we wipe on the first pull, and the other half of the time I'm kicked right on zone in because "there are too many melee." If I had a nickel for every time I've waited 40 mins, zoned in, and been kicked just because I'm a melee without even given a chance to fight anything, I'd be a rich man. Looks like the only way to gear my dps is to spec into tanking and roll on all the dps pieces.

    If the group kicks you for being melee then they are doing you a favour, since they are obviously too dumb to get through a whole heroic.

    best option atm is to do normal dungeons, get 333s and get rep for 346 peices from rep vendors, get 2 pieces of pvp 356?s for set bonus all the while grinding TB dailies for a 346 weapon at least, then start in on heroics(still gonna get kicked by guild runs and tanks that leave at start due to less-than-optimal setup tho, could definitely use a fix so that you don't get a banned from queue for 30 mins if the pt ends in the first 5 mins as long as you aren't the first person to leave.)

    In general though, waiting 40+ mins for a chance at heroic gets tiresome. The only real things to do are TB dailies or a craft like archaeology. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse that the TB dailies take 3 times as long because you can't pt in queue (kills more wait time, but it's still wasted).
