Nice to speak with you Jesus Christ, such place for debat and argumentation hahaha.
I don't want to be mean but if you convice anybody with a speech like that it's sad.
As we told you no difference between TTW and FFB in the fact of raid 10men, one loss 3 hit and the other 3 crit (assuming nobody get any raid buff)
FFB as more proc pyro.
http://rpgworld.altervista.org/335/mage.php Let me know where from in the mage FFB built you get that more crit chances
About bugs: we get since approximatly 4 years the most important debug which shuted down the FFB spec (TTW affected by attack slowing) so this is not any sort of bug which come and go....
For the part "i'm telling you from my own experience", idk how much you have but to my point of view you didn't made enough experience on TTW, because we are here 2 experienced mages argue with you without getting any sign of an open mind on your side.
You think because we play endgame TLK we walked not through the gearing stages and exploring world things ?
So I'll give you an idea of my own experience and I'm sure sky have as much experience as me if it's not more. I play TLK since 2011. I up and geared 7 mages during this time on at least 4 differents private servers. I have lvled up as Frost as Arcane and as Fire, I have played early 80 as Arcane as FFB as TTW and even as frost PVE. And I have played end game TLK as TTW as FFB (when it was bugged) and a bit as Arcane.
And overall that my personnal experience not things told by other ppl.
But I don't established my point of view only on my experience, I have meet a lot of people (mages) and debated with them (true debats not non argumentary ones). Moreover we all did maths, sometime ppls less then the others but all time when the arguments are correctly put on the table, we all agreed on one way of thinking. Because this is a game, a program, all things are written no randomness here, so no places for intuitions. You can have an intuition, but if you cannot bring solid arguments to confirm it you cannot give real credit to this intuition, because in program/game all things can be proved.
Sorry for ppl which have to read that (because this is not the subject), but that type of behavior really goes on my nerves.
