Exodus didn't always hide their logs as I remember shin pulling numbers I could only dream of. Shadow is the kind of spec that even the lazy and or retarded like me can play it well enough and crush the regulars.

They're probably doing it to hide their Deathwing kills, race is over but easier to make fun of stragglers the longer they take to get 8/8. They'll make 'em public eventually for rankings, plenty of people there capable of getting top-10 parses.

I haven't really seen Shin rank in ages, probably because Exodus doesn't post public logs anymore, but he was damn good back in ICC days with his vids. I would have to say Iapeto is better then Shin these days though in Exodus.

Think he went Disc for a while, but I haven't really kept track tbh. I was only there for about 6 months in '09 so I don't recognize 2/3 of the roster nowadays. But Shin (spriest) / Kaywarrior (warrior) / Kripp (hunter) / Hyped (mage) / Reckful (rogue, think he left a little before I did) should still be some of the best players at their class in the US.

They been posting, just not that many. And I wanna say Shin just isn't raiding that much anymore either cause he did like 1 H Madness kill then nothing after that.

You have to be careful though, just because you see people put up top numbers doesn't make them the best in the world. Most of the top stack groups and buffs to help one or two players rank. I promise I could put together a 10man group and do top 20 numbers even with my shot gear comparatively. You have to look through and see how many tricks people got or if they got ungodly good rng. Note my 51k on zonnozz with Stam food and flask.... Really good rng.

Shrug, I had the number one MM hunter rank on Saurfang 25 normal (lol) for about 2 months during ICC. But it's not one or two players, aside from freak accidents (which do happen) kill times are usually the biggest determinant for ranking in heroics (no one really gives a shit about normals). A guild that can kill a boss in 4 minutes instead of 6 has a huge advantage in uptimes for BL/pots/etc (and lucky streaks of RNG stand out even more). But consistency counts too, if someone has top-10 parses on multiple boss fights throughout different tiers chances are they don't suck (like the guys I mentioned before, a lot of them are also like 8-time gladiators or something stupid like that). Healing rankings are more guilty of stacking, most of the parses are people solo-healing crap.
