Hi,

I specifically said they had different tasks. Obviously it will not apply when they have the same task...

Yes, and what you are missing is that neither condition applies. You used a bull#$%& assumption, either intentionally or through ignorance, to bolster your argument. I used an equally bull#$%& assumption (except I knew it was bull#$%& and pointed it out) as a counter example. The reality falls somewhere in between, and unless you can enumerate how many members of which groups have to succeed in what, and give something better than 99% (out of your ass) percent probability that they will succeed, then your arithmetic may be right, but your mathematics is nonsense.

though I have never heard about any encounter where different raid members are working to achieve a goal and only one has to succeed -- except for healing and to a lesser extent, dealing damage. This is not a problem when considering the shift between 10 and 25-man raids, as it's solved simply by scaling down the healing and damage required.

You understand nothing. My claim isn't that only one needs to succeed. My claim is that both "they all need to succeed" and that "they all have a 99% chance of success" are both crap. Ignorant use (i.e., "torture") of mathematics.

The situations I am talking about exists.

Bull#$%&. The general situation might exist, so feel free to argue that as much as you want. But if you want to use precise numbers in a precise manner, then get ready to back up your claims or expect to get blasted.
