I don't think him bragging about his superior DPS while his groupmates are trying to arrange a rez is going to endear him to them! Much better for the magician to compare him and a shaman in a happy perfect fun time when nothing's wrong and nobody's in danger, stick to the thing the magician does best.

The velketor boots suffer badly in fast kills due to the slow cast speed--only get to use it once per on those 30 second kills. Burnt staff is probably better in that environment and the shaman bracer will out perform either probably. Fast pulls benefit the magician because fast kills make the pets' contribution proportionally greater and the magician has an inarguably superior pet. The shaman'll like slower pulls or longer kills where his damage over time spells and incredible mana recovery rate get the most mileage while the magician's sustainable damage doesn't actually increase and his burst leaves him out of commision a lot longer than the shaman's recovery takes.

Well said.

Clearly, neither of you understand math.
As I said before, it is you who's math skills are lacking. My "napkin math" is matching the real in-game data:

I just don't understand why people think it is difficult to math out this sort of thing. In video games the math and rules are fixed and cannot change unless you cheat, or the developers change something.
