This whole thread is just about people with different death risk tolerances, right?

Like if you want to give yourself the best chances of dropping a rare mob with a guaranteed drop, you might want to make sure your health stays above X% at all times and it might make sense to JBB more.

If you're farming a common mob with a rare drop, then you probably want to churn through them faster and so you're going to dot and canni more.

Either option is fine depending on what risk/reward you are going for.

What am I missing?

It's not kill speed, it's being able to do other stuff while your dps is on a timer rather than a recycling click. Also, every time you stop clicking the bracer, your dps drops. Even one torp and two canni's then click again it's not a 8 second click it's a 19 second click (or 14dps). For sake of discussion though, the opportunity cost of a JBB click is almost 3x canni4's with a GCD click.

Bane is a 5 second cast, it does 1648 damage in 42 seconds, it's 39dps and is one click. For a class that survives mainly by canni/torp dancing and balancing hps in with hps out and maintaining mana the idea of stopping making health or mana to lock yourself into a bracer-click dance is the anthesis of efficiency. And again, if you arent clicking every 8 seconds it's not 33 dps.

In a perfect world, I get it, using mana to do dps when you can just save it to heal isnt ideal. You need to debuff though so that's mana. And even 200mana for Torp will slowly drain your blue bar. What works with a monk-shaman-duo doesn't work properly when you're getting hit and the DD is breaking root.

I provided multiple videos for you. You can take a look at them and maybe try to learn something instead of being snarky. The videos show the same exact thing the logs do and more. You can see my HP, Mana and what was happening.

No, what a log shows is a second-by-second account of your casts, spell effects, and spells wearing off. You know this, but you dont want to post it knowing people would tear it apart.

Assuming anyone would take the time to care after page 30 when apathy has become petrified.
