I misread several pages ago; I thought Siberious was recreating ArbiterBlixen's Magelo, but on review it looks like it was a separate one.
I apologize: you are correct and (on this note at least) you were reading the thread and I was the mistaken one.

No worries, it happens. Just try to not jump to conclusions so quickly.
As for your other questions:

You must be referring to something out of context: I've said multiple times in this thread (with explanations) how HP > Mana, both before and at 60.

I am just confused as to what you are trying to argue. Before you said you weren't really talking about Shamans under 60, but then you started talking about them again.

So to be clear: you did not do any high-end raiding prior to acquiring Torpor?

No, I didn't even have my epic. My key items were Fungi Tunic, Fungi Staff, JBB, Black Fur Boots, Shawl 7, and Othmir Prexus Totem. The other slots were just filled with normal gear, nothing from raids. This was all basically funded by killing guards. This was back when you could make 500-600pp an hour killing Misty Thicket Guards. Even just playing 1 hour a day equates to 200k a year hehe. That is pretty casual to be honest.

What "point"? You insisted your opinion was true without any explanation whatsoever:
If you want to convince me otherwise, just explain the situations that a 60 Shaman would be in where mana would save their life and HP wouldn't.

I have run out of Mana before due to bad resist chains, fizzling, adds, etc. Shaman spells are expensive. That is dangerous because you may not have enough mana to gate, and not enough HP to cannibalize safely. Having an extra 200 mana means you could land 1 more slow, root, torpor, or gate. That CAN save your life.
I have run out of mana before and after Torpor. Pre-Torpor running out of mana often occurs when you are root rotting, and root just keeps breaking due to bad luck. Post Torpor this can happen on WW Dragons if you get really bad luck with fizzles and resists. I have had to gate even when the mob was slowed because I was at half health and no mana. It would be too risky to try and save the kill.
