To encourage profession diversity, all 9 professions must be brought to a raid. 1 profession may be duplicated.

You can impose that on your own groups that you create.

Aren’t you even a little intrigued as to how it would turn out?

Nah, everyone already knows the answer.

If you religiously believe that the meta, and only the meta, as dictated by god, the founding fathers, qtfy, and metabattle, is the only way to defeat any raid boss ever, then you know this would just be nothing but disaster.

If you are not quite so taken by faith rather than reason, you know that people would still clear the content, comfortably, at about the same pace they do now.

2 chronos, 1 of every other class 99.9% of the time.

1 chronotank. 1 glint/jalis berserker’s revenant. 1 PS warrior (condi). 1 condi engi. 1 condi necro. 1 berserker’s thief. 1 berserker’s ele. 1 berserker’s gaurdian. 1 druid. 1 boon-share nontank chrono.

We have 9 classes and 10 spots so enforcing a 1 of every class rule just means the only thing to “see how it turns out” is which class people bring 2 of, which will almost certainly be chrono.

That’s forcing, not encouraging you kitten. Besides, any exp raider can foretell how disastrous it would be. Think b4 you talk.

If you get any random Joe then yes it will be a disaster, get people who play those classes most of the time and it’ll be perfectly fine.

If 10 people cannot pump out over 50k DPS between them something is going hilariously wrong and it isn’t the fault of the classes.

Let me spell it out for you cause u dont kitten get the point. It’s worse than the “pidgeonhole” meta we have atm. That’s how bad it is. I don’t care if people could pull qt numbers on each profession…its just bad and 100% forced. At least now a few classes change depending on the encounter.

Yea. Forcing particular comps would be a really bad move by ANet.

Especially some sort of comp that doubled up professions. Like some sort of reflection comp.

A mirror comp is not required by the game. You can enter raids in any comp that you want. ANet in no way whatsoever requires a certain comp in raids.

If you somehow think mirror comp is mandated, you
A) Don’t know what mandated means
B) Clearly haven’t seen the 10 X class raid video’s

No I got what you said, I pointed out that it wouldn’t be a disaster as you said, people who can play different classes at a decent level won’t have any trouble.

Then again I took the OPs suggestion as more of a challenge not a “ANet make it so” proposal.

This. Encouraging would be fine, but that requires ANet getting their balancing halfway right. Forcing any kind of class composition is about the dumbest thing that’s possible.

Thats not encouraging. Thats forcing. While I’d love much more class diversity, I want it to be encouraged by balance from Anet and not forced by some stupid rule. The Mirror Comp is a balancing problem, something that can be solved by balancing the classes and we’ve seen Anet taking the steps in the right direction, even if the steps are too small to make a big impact.

Forcing diversity could also make some boss fights awkward.

That’s just a minor issue. But what if no one wants to play a certain class, which will probably happen rather often when there are 10 people and 9 classes?

You don’t raid, or you LFG for that class? That’s the logical implication of the requirement.

Yeah better take the rule “10 of the same class” – that will give us some build diversity =)

Not going happen. However you can get a guild group going that doesn’t exactly follow “Meta”. We cleared 2 wings yesterday (didn’t manage to finish 3rd due to #Anetserverlags) while running no eles for most boss fights o.o (teef ftw!!!).

That being said i think the biggest mistake Anet did was limiting targets affected by mes/war/druid buffs which resulted in static 2 mes, 2 druids 2 wars + 4 dps (lol eles) comps.

Some other folks have already said it, but to reiterate, this would be more restrictive than what we have right now.

Very silly suggestion, it would also likely escalate meta build toxicity since each profession would have to bring the exact build for the boss in question, you still wouldn’t see a raid group bringing alternative necro or guardian builds to fights for instance.
