shm solo JBB question

[Snaggles]

Lowest root and keep clicking. I usually slow as well so you can send your pet out to speed up the killing process.

Going that way, if root breaks on a JBB cast the mob will run up to you and likely not have recycled the attack round (since it was attacking the pet). Usually you can re-root and step back after taking one (or no) round of attacks. This gets much easier with Turgurs since it lasts over 5 mins.

Fight spectres and spectral keepers,just sick pet and use cazic fear undead clicky

Spirit Quickening is presently awful, do not use it. Its haste is only half that of Alacrity, for barely more than half as long. It's a false economy. You end up spending nearly as much mana per hour for much less effect.

doesn't spirit quickening stack with haste?

The spell effect itself stacks on account of the stat portion stacking, but the haste effect does not. Can't tell you whether that's correct for the era or not, didn't play a Shaman back then. Right now, today, on P1999 the spell's not very good.

Regarding stacking, pretty much every clicky, spell or song is haste v1, none of these stacks, only the higher haste % is used despite if the buff "stacks" for stat reasons, the only haste v2 in game are the two ervaj line songs, which had low% haste that stacks but can't break the cap... And there's no haste v3 on p99 at all, so you can be pretty sure that haste never stack there.

so worn haste and casted haste dont stack?

[Polixa]

Posting to agree with those above who said just use the pet. I soloed with JBB and pet held aggro just fine. L45-55 I didn't cast root once whilst soloing with JBB.

Nope, talking about buff haste...
You can have one of each of these:
* Item haste (worn, not clicky or proc, these are haste v1)
* Haste v1 buff (clicky, spells or most songs)
* haste v2 song (ervaj line only)

For each category only the highest % will be used if more than one item/buff apply

Ex:60war with CoF, epop haste and with a bard singing composition of Ervaj: 36%(CoF)+20%(epop clicky) +10%(ervaj) = 66%
If the bard add vilia's chorus of celerity, it will "overwrite" epop clicky resulting in 36%+45%+10%=91%
Now if a chanter come around and overwrite epop with wonderous rapidity you will get 36%+70%+10%=116% but capped at 100% at lvl 60,meaning both bard songs do not add any haste at all...

[Legidias]

Reading comprehension...

There's 4 total types of haste. Each type stacks with a different type, but not the same type.

EX. Type 0 + 1 + 2 +3 stacks.

Type 0 + 0 does not stack, and only the highest haste% works.

Type 0 = worn haste (no buff icon).
Type 1 = most casted hastes (regular bard song, all ench and shaman hastes, and any item clicky that gives a buff)
Type 2 = Bard extra haste, in P99 only ervaj
Type 3 = Bard over haste, not in P99 (luclin+).

In general, you will only ever have 2 hastes, a worn (non-buff) haste and a casted (buff icon) haste.

Wait, so if I have SCHW on my shaman and buff myself with Alacrity, they don't stack? If that's the case, I'm selling my SCHW right now, lol.

No, SCHW is worn haste, Alacrity is buff haste, they totally stack.

But you're a Shaman: don't think haste increases to your melee damage will make a huge difference in your overall DPS either way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
