Quote:Something I've long wondered about is why what any class can do solo, by themselves, out and about in the world has anything to do with the price of tea in china. Who really cares? Out there, it's just you vs the mob you have chosen to pick on. Some do it faster, some do it with less downtime, some are just more fun, even if they aren't "the best".
It matters, Mir. While you're out farming the best elites for drops and cash to get your epic mount, the best I can solo on my T2-geared warrior is crap compared to what you can do. I have to farm a lot longer for the same rewards, mainly because solo-power, your class is broken. I don't see you farming on your priest. Wonder why? People who pick X class for raid reason can get resentful of the hunters who say 'oh, I only had to farm <a third the time you did>, since I could kill <x mob that I can't touch> <three times as fast as I can kill a lesser one> <with very little downtime>.
So, yeah, it does matter. There shouldn't be that huge a disparity between what classes can do solo.
