Jaundiced Bone Bracer - to buy or not to buy?

[EdTuBrutus]

JBB is probably the most over-rated item in the game. It simply does not offer enough DPS to be useful. Using one will lower your efficiency.

The best case scanario, of an Ogre Shaman in melee range can do about 10% more dps with a JBB than with a GFG (and about the same dps with a PWC vs giant sized mobs) BUT the meleeing Shaman can canni without losing dps (as the canni cast does not reset the swing timer).

If you are trying to Rot mobs then the JBB will greatly increase the amount of recasts you need for Immobolise/Paralysing Earth, killing efficiency. And even if root never breaks, it would still only offer more DPS over canni-dancing for extra DoT casts between L45 and L53 when Canni-dance offers more DoT DPS than JBB.

If you have 14k sitting there, buy an Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate which you can sell when you have enough of the balance for a Fungi.
