...I'd take you up on that challenge
lol srsly tho, this thread is 10/10 entertainment. Now I'm an arcane mage, but FB/FFB as an "offspec"??? wtf is that? I see top5 WWS records on patch have an arcane mage on top only because the fire mage keeps up a 5 stack... not to mention the fact that the arcane gets tricks of the trade halfway through... all that and the fire mage is averaging ~50dps lower on a 7K+ dps fight? if thats an offspec, sign me up.
btw SP is never valued lower than haste or crit in any situation, and haste for arcane isn't as black and white with glyph choices.
1.) Look at the thread date.
2.) FFB is an offspec gear-wise because the optimal gear-set is very very different.
3.) FB isn't an offspec gear-wise to arcane except that people generally swap in dying curse for fireball.
4.) Nobody ever said SP was less than crit or haste. Anyone who even thinks of that deserves to get their Character deleted.
5.) If someone says Haste is better than crit they are generalizing. You should prioritize haste gear over crit gear as a general rule of thumb, but the true mastery of optimization is when you have all of your stats in perfect balance. http://elitistjerks.com/f75/t42476-opti ... iscussion/
By the way, the term off-spec is relative to the user. To a FFB mage arcane/FB would be the offspec. Offspec doesn't mean an inferior spec, simply a different one, and the fact that you don't understand even this simple fact caused all validity of anything you say to diminish.
If you're going to try to correct people, make sure that you're not the one who needs correcting first.
