Quote:Yet imagine a 10 man Illidan with the same difficulties you find in 25 man. How many people do you think would actually be there in 10 man that are there in 25 that really shouldn't be there in 25 man, but there is enough people to cover their inabilities to allow them to be there?
About 3-4. They are either our friends, or we need their class.
Who those people are is made very evident when their constructs get in the raid, or they are the first to die to Archimonde, every attempt.
Quote: 25 man has some leeway for slack, but 10 man (if made as difficult) wouldn't.
One of our three ZA healers frequently, and correctly comments that we are, in fact, on a two-healer run.
One monkey in a ten-man won't kill you. Three monkeys in a 25-man is a very similar ratio.
More people covering for you isn't the factor - it's ratio of people who know what they are doing, to people who are carried. And that ratio transcends group size.
Until you get to Gorefiend. I'd much rather do that fight with 10.
