I’m asserting that as a shaman healing is probably the most important thing you could do, giving the enchanter a chance to recover and buy time so they could use their own toolkit to get things under control. Other choices exist but when you are the only thing that could save them from death … yeah I’d heal my ass off.
Some of the Alternatives:
You could root a mob, but the stunned or casting enchanter probably isn’t moving. Mob is rooted but still beating down on the enchanter who still hasn’t been healed. If the non-pet mob was rooted or being face tanked by the shaman or shaman pet this might save the enchanter if they aren’t stunned or casting and you rooted the charm pet hitting them. But now the pet is rooted for 3 minutes.
You could cast a single target slow, but now their pet is slowed and the ench still isn’t healed and any other mobs are still not dealt with.
You could cast AoE slow, but with a
5 second cast time (plus any lag in situational awareness and imperfect player reaction time) your enchanter is either dead by the time it landed or got things under control before you finished casting that slow. If the enchanter survived- again they had it under control before you finished casting.
You could do what you stupidly did in that video and start casting malo, stop when you realize it won’t land in time or help …. And end up with 3% health enchanter who was only alive because ANOTHER person saved them.
You could use blind which is, admittedly a very fast cast spell. But would it be on your bar? If the enchanter stepped back would the pet path off stupidly and aggro even more stuff?

Quit playing games. Shamans have a broad toolkit and all of us have been around long enough to know them inside and out.

Ok professor, educate me.
Your ench partner is at 100% health. Your enchanter has a hasted, quadding high dps pet and charm breaks. The mob summons (or doesn’t summon but root broke cause this is a “pickle”). The enchanter is now being wailed on by the pet and the mob. Or an alternative scenario is that ench gets a bad pull. 2-3 mobs incomming and pet suddenly breaks. All 3-4 mobs (one a beefed up pet) are on the loose.
Please keep in mind that the alternative partner here (cleric) would just fire a longish duration AoE stun to fix the “pickle” in 1 seconds worth of cast time. Even if the spell resists, mobs are now on the cleric who can take a few rounds and backup DA giving thr ench precious time to recover.
Ok professor. Educate me. What do you do?
And … go!

So riddle me this professor … what would DSM do?
Once you provide your answer please explain how that is better than a 1 sec aoe stun that locks everything down followed by superior fast healing as needed. Remember that the cleric also has at least one other no damage fast cast single target stun to use.
Unfortunately I don’t think you’ll reply. As stupid as you are I do think you’re smart enough to clam up when you know you’re wrong.
