The problem is that its just not true. Using a JBB costs mana.

You are not medding, you are not cannibalising. You lose mana every time you click a JBB. The opportunity cost for a Canni-dancing L53 Shaman for every JBB cast is 150 mana**. That's a LOT of mana for 253 damage.

** technically you should adjust this for the cost of maintaining Chloroplast but you get the idea.
Myth? Well you are welcome to your opinion, but I used it extensively and found the JBB very useful.

I might have given the guy too much info, but wanted to explain how I found it to be quite beneficial.

The nuke hits fairly hard, and as I said I solo'd with it and found it extremely useful.

I even solo'd the paladin guards in Felwithe, always keeping my mana high by mixing the JBB in once my pet got them down to 90% hps and held aggro.

I think he could buy it, try it, and see if he thinks it's useful or not. He can easily resell it if he doesn't like it.

There's a reason why people mention the JBB and the fact the Iksar race can't use it, and that's because it is a fairly decent item that at the very least can help you level.
