Math doesn't show mobs hp regen. Only 1 root break, on a mob with 7k hp and casting the bracer 20+ times?

I've brought up these points, and they are all a problem for the DoTing Shaman, not the JBB Shaman. That is why JBB ends up being better.
1. When it comes to mob regen, JBB spamming is higher DPS on average than the DoTing strategy. Chances are the fight would last longer on the DoTing Shaman's side if mob regen did end up extending the fight for a few seconds. The fight is longer (more regen occurs), and all of the DoT's would have worn off in Troxx's example by the end. If they needed to cast another damage spell to speed up the fight, then they would also have some extra recovery time at the end.
2. I agree root breaks are a problem. I've said so many times, even in the post you quoted lol. That is why the JBB Shaman only assumed that the root would last 8-16 seconds at best. The only side ignoring root breaks is Troxx, because he wants to make root rotting look better. His assumption is that root never breaks and damage is never taken from a root break, which is obviously incorrect. This would slow down the DoTing Shaman, while not affecting the JBB Shaman. The JBB Shaman does not need to root every fight. I just threw it in every fight to show Troxx that you can significantly reduce the remaining damage per fight if needed. Personally I never needed to use root and pet tanking to recover after a fight in PoM rat maze. I only used root for parking adds away from me.
3. Spell resists are low on trash mobs. You don't even need to malo them. An occasional resist on JBB is really not a big deal. You just need to spend 8 more seconds casting it. Conversely, getting a resist on a DoT means you are down a full 300 mana, and now need to spend extra recovery time in-between fights. They would need to spend 6 seconds casting the DoT again, plus recovering the 300 mana, which takes longer. This again slows down the DoT Shaman.
As of this post:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=465 - Troxx is still wrong, even after all the back and forth. JBB is better than root rotting from 45-60 on all shaman races that can use it. Ogres will still level faster from 45-60 with it than an Iksar would leveling from 45-60 with root/rotting and without Epic.
Hopefully he will finally admit he is wrong about something.
