You haven't shown why restructuring my argument into this format will provide any new insight.

You cannot restructure your argument into this format, because you have no falsifiable proposition.

I keep asking you for your proof, and you keep declining to provide one. As far as I can tell, your argument is that FSI provides higher survivability in solo fights, while regen provides a real & quantifiable but negligible benefit. This does not prove that "FSI is better than regen". All it supports is:

It just depends what you prefer.

Here's a falsifiable proposition: In a solo fight against a WW dragon, FSI enhances the odds of a successful outcome more-so than regen does.

I'd attempt to prove that using Markov chains, where each tick is a state transition, and the state variables would be hp&mana for PC&NPC&pet, plus all buff/debuffs, and who is in melee range of whom. I'd use Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to generate a probabilistic proof.

But let's be real. I haven't seen you provide any evidence of enough mathematical sophistication to prove that 2 is even, so I'm pretty confident that MCMC analysis is far beyond your remit.

Where do you believe I am incorrect with regards to FSI vs. Regeneration on a Shaman, and where is your counter-evidence supporting your claims?

I believe your argument is persuasive. I do not believe it is provable as formulated, and I do not believe you could prove it, even if you could formulate a falsifiable proposition.

If you're happy to concede that this is an opinion, I have no objections. As long as you maintain that this is provable and proven, I shall continue to ask for the proof.
