I only use canni 3.

Here is a typical breakdown for Yums soloing with epic.

I will have 4 mobs root rotting at a time at 56 using paralyzingly earth. Sometimes 5 but usually 4. The epic click is best during its final ticks so you never overwrite it early. The epic dot will last 84 seconds. So, here are the numbers:

- total elapsed dot time: 84 seconds per mob.
- root cast: 2.5 seconds for paralyzingly earth (maybe 2) with 2 sec casting cool down: 4 seconds total.
- epic cast: 9 Seconds, 0 cool down.

Send suicide doge in, 4 mobs engage doge. Cast root (2cast)+(2cooldown), cast root (2cast)+ (2 cool down), cast root (2cast)+(2 cool down), cast root (2 cast)+(2 cool down), cast epic (9), cast epic (9), cast epic (9), cast epic (9).

Total time so far is 60 seconds or 10 ticks. During this 10 ticks and assuming you've already canni'd down you will have regenerated around 200hp as Barb or Ogre or about 250 as Troll/Iksar. You will need to cast canni 2 5 times in order to bring you back down to where you were for the next round meaning, if you are dancing correctly, need to spend the next 30 seconds canni dancing in order to be able to "beat" your regeneration rate.

Canni 3 Allows you to beat your regen rate and maintain mana. Oddly enough, this scenario appears to show that canni 3 would be best with enstill vs. paralyzingly earth with canni 2 coming back into the picture at 56.

FYI you can be slightly more efficient if you take advantage of the 0 cool down on epic.

Canni 2 - epic - canni 2 - epic etc...

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Never actually got to the point. Illustration to show tedium of min-maxing with canni 2. Just use canni 3.
