Not going to continue the argument but I have to say that your having to redo j-boots on an Inny kill is a super weak example.

And Having to keep SoW on 40+ people on a sky raid is also weak. Where exactly does everybody need to run to constantly?

Even if you only log on to raid, and you logged off with a fresh SoW, every old world raid target in the game is dead before the 36 minute duration of that sow has elapsed (with the exception of CT).

Sorry, I'm calling it as I see it. Call it a necessity if you want to but it is in fact a convenience and when speed is actually of the utmost importance then it's an inferior buff to SoW.

I remember a debate on these forums way back when somebody tried to convince me that "if you don't have a manastone then you don't care about being good". I will honestly say that in my opinion the j-boot argument being put forth has less merit than the manastone argument did.
