I will add Specialization and Self Regrowth + Pet Haste at Troxx's request. It still doesn't change the outcome. It just increases the time on both encounters equally.
Criteria
=========
1. Two Level 58 Shamans. One is an Iksar root/rotting, the other is an Ogre with JBB.
2. Mob does 10 DPS while slowed with Togor's Insects.
3. 7000 HP mob, A Ratfink from PoM Rat Maze.
4. Both Shamans have Fungi Tunic.
5. Both Shamans have Regrowth on themselves, and Haste on their Pets.
6. Regrowth has an upkeep of 1.94 mana per tick on Ogres and 1.95 mana per tick on Iksars over an hour.
7. Celerity has an upkeep of 1.25 mana per tick on Ogres and 1.26 mana per tick on Iksars over an hour.
8. Mortal Deftness has an upkeep of 0.26 mana per tick on Ogres over an hour. The Iksar is not using this spell.
9. Average pull time is 3 ticks (18 seconds).
10. 2.2 DPS from Blight, Hammer of the Scourge for the JBB Shaman. A Shaman with 135 DEX (75 Base + 60 from Buff) has 1.3 PPM. Fight is 2 minutes, so 2.6 procs per fight on average. Halve that because JBB is halving the number of swings. Reduce to 1.0 to cover for the small time where the mob is rooted. Weapon would proc after the first minute on average. 544 / 2 (half ticks) + 40 (DD) = 312 damage. 312 / 132 seconds = ~2.4 DPS, but we can reduce it to 2.2 again to account for root. This is also not including the white damage from the Hammer itself.
Ogre with JBB
=============
- JBB (32.8 DPS) + Hasted Pet (17 DPS) + Blight, Hammer of the Scourge weapon proc (2.2 DPS) = 53 DPS
- 726 HP recovered from Standing Regen (3 HP) + Fungi Tunic (15 HP) + Regrowth (15 HP) over 22 ticks
- 1320 damage taken from face tanking (10 DPS)
- 22 Mana recovered from Standing Regen (1 Mana) over 22 ticks
- 158 Mana spent on 1x Togor's Insects after specialization
- 6 Mana spent on overhead from casting Mortal Deftness 1x per hour
- 43 Mana spent on overhead from Regrowth on self 4x per hour
- 28 Mana spent on overhead from Celerity on Pet 4x per hour
- 28 Mana spent on 1x Root after specialization to let pet tank for a small period
- 120 HP recovered from root. It prevents 80-160 damage at the beginning of the fight, depending on if root breaks after the first or second JBB cast
Total HP Spent: 474
Total Mana Spent: 241
Total Fight Time: 132 seconds
Total Meditation Time after combat: 66 seconds to recover 231 Mana. You are down -78 HP and -10 Mana.
196 seconds per encounter. With the 3 tick average pull time, the Shaman would be down -7 Mana after each encounter. Since you are not tied to the 188 second fight time, you can pull earlier if the pull time is longer. 184-190 seconds per encounter on longer pulls.
Iksar without JBB using root/rotting
=============
- 2x Envenomed Bolt (2665 Damage) + 1x Plague (1270 Damage) + Hasted and Regened Pet (17 DPS) = ~37.2 DPS when factoring in DoTs will not be active for the full fight
- 1426 HP recovered from Sitting Regen (16 HP) + Fungi Tunic (15 HP) + Regrowth (15 HP) over 31 ticks
- 651 Mana recovered from Sitting Regen (21 Mana) over 31 ticks
- 640 Mana spent on 2x Envenomed Bolts
- 300 Mana spent on 1x Plague
- 158 Mana spent on 1x Togor's Insects after specialization
- 28 Mana spent on 1x Root after specialization
- 100 Mana and 30 HP spent due to losing 5 Sitting Regen ticks while casting the 5 spells above
- 121 Mana spent on overhead from casting Regrowth on self AND pet, 8x per hour
- 485 damage taken to pet (1880 damage - 1395 regenerated from 45 HP a tick)
- 158 Mana spent on Chloroblast for pet to counter the damage above after specialization
Total HP Gained: 1396
Total Mana Spent: 854
Total Fight Time: 188 seconds
Total Recovery Time: 6 seconds to recover 21 Mana. Canni 4 would put you at -84 HP and -34 Mana after combat, so you would need to spend 6 seconds recovering to end up with -38 HP and -13 Mana. Pet would be at -100 HP, but will recover after the pull.
194 Seconds per encounter. With the 3 tick average pull time, the Shaman would be at -10 Mana after each encounter. This assumes the Iksar Shaman never fizzled, missed a sitting tick aside from spell casts, never got a spell resist on DoTs, never got a root break, and never got hit during a root break.
Realistically the JBB Shaman could start a new encounter 12-18 seconds earlier if they know that the pull is going to be long. Shamans should not be at 100% HP while pulling, but we are assuming this just to remove the possibility of HP drift across multiple encounters. The DoT Shaman will be spending the full 188 seconds on the encounter, or they will lose some sitting ticks from pulling early while the pet finishes off the mob. The JBB Shaman does not have to worry about fizzling for the most part, missing sitting ticks, spell resists on expensive spells like your DoTs, and root breaks which cost HP and Mana to re-root the mob, + loss of sitting tick. This is why JBB is better. You end up saving a good amount of HP/Mana per hour by removing these RnG factors from your gameplay. A resisted JBB cast from time to time costs no mana. A resisted DoT would cost 300 mana, which means you need to spend time out of combat recovering it. This counteracts the occasional JBB resist, which would extend the fight by 8 seconds and cost zero mana.
