Look, as a Shaman, what do you do when your slows get resisted? Which they will fairly often because it's hard to land stuff on an even con?

Again, I'll grant that if you're willing to spend long enough running in circles you can keep making attempts on a mob despite needing to make a hard resist check. But A) that takes forever, and B) even then, there's limits.

You don't have mana-free epic damage or JBB damage in classic. Your only "mana free damage" is your pet, and of course if you leave him alone with the mob he'll die fast. When you run out of mana, you have to sit and med (or maybe cann-dance, briefly, but no Torpor + Cann).

So you try casting on the lizard, and maybe you even get lucky and land a slow initially, but then he resists a bunch, and ... then what? You can run around and med up, but any damage you do will fade while that happens, and you're back to square one.

I'm not just trying to argue, so I want to be clear: I'm not in any way saying a 50 Shaman can never kill him. I'm just trying to understand your strategy for dealing with limited mana and a bunch of resists from an even con.
