Raidboxers, why shamans?

[Vyndree]

If you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME. No where did I say it involved boxing, the claim was "virtually no bosses" can be downed by 25 of X class,

Actually, the title of the thread is "RaidBOXERS, why shamans?" -- hence my impression that they were asking for theorycraft/experiences of raiding MULTIBOXERS.

Furthermore, the prefix and postfix of the "claim" is...

While I can't speak on behalf of Sam or Prepared, I can tell you that there are virtually no bosses (especially in WOTLK) that you can steamroll by simply bringing 25 of x-class to a "raid"; some people are even questoning the viability of the 5-man shaman setup for WoTLK, especially with the pure damage that NPC warrior/paladin types are issuing in instances.

So forgive me if my IMPRESSION (nowhere did I say assumption, but the mockery was cute -- I wasn't aware that my post came off as hostile, only argumentative -- we ARE having a discussion, are we not?) was incorrect, but imo it was pretty realistic given the context and the quote to think that way. I'd also generally assume (yes, assume) that anything on a multiboxing forum that isn't in "off-topic" should probably have to do with multiboxers?

I didn't disagree on the fact that single-class soloboxers can accomplish these things -- 10 druids have completed Karazhan LONG before the patch. 10 paladins as well. Hybrids (with tanking and healing specs) tend to do the best when they don't actually outgear the instances. But I was under the impression that we were talking about multiboxers -- in which case any fight involving complex movement or immediate reactions would likely fail.
