Ok, but can you admit that even in this scenario, both the Shaman and the other members of the group would each be getting better XP if the Shaman were just root rotting solo?

What you are...

Can you think of any conceivable scenario where it would be beneficial to have the Shaman join the group only to "root/rot [mobs off to the side] while doing little else"?

Wouldn't the Shaman and...

I think the general problem is that:

1) You overestimate the abilities of the Shaman class. You do this through a bit of rhetorical slight of hand, whereby you change your arguments in favor of...

Tell me if I'm understanding your thinking correctly. Here is basically what you've been saying, as far as I can tell:

1) Shamans are great group DPS, because they can root rot different mobs off...

Of course it's a silly argument, the point is it's inherently a silly argument to start talking about pocket ANYTHING when you're discussing a 4 man group, because at that point it becomes an...

If you want to talk about a Shaman Torpor tanking, slowing, healing and pulling like you did in that video, that's a different conversation than a Shaman DPSing. Obviously a Shaman can do those...

Do you really think that landing a single 675 DD nuke per kill on mobs with 6-10k HP counts as "sustained DPS"?

In the video, you made plenty of other contributions to the trio besides DPS, so...

Speaking as a guy with a 60 Wiz, I'd definitely agree, with the caveat that they really do feel pretty terrible to level in a group. You just can't contribute much in those scenarios. Quadding is...

For a large portion of this thread you were claiming that a Shaman could out-DPS a Mage in a 4 man, all-caster/priest group (as per the title of the thread).

I'm really appreciating the 11th hour advocacy of the Wizard (with Rend Robe ofc) specifically for porting around and sniping.

The Chad Wizard vs. the virgin Shaman.

I love this thread.

If DSM doesn't come back I'm gonna start making the case for the Wizard as the 4th man (with pocket Shaman out of group root rotting).

At around page 800, DSM is going to admit that the major utility his Shaman brings is SoWing the group before they zone into Seb.
