Best 4 person all caster/priest group

[Gloomlord]

Well, why even bring up root rotting, regardless? All it does is serve to make you look like an even bigger idiot.

If root rotting is not included in your data, and your data says that mage still does a fair bit more, then you yourself have provided evidence that shaman is unwarranted in a group which includes an enchanter and cleric, the strongest duo in the game.

I'd wager most people in this thread, too, are highly skilled and have played P99 for years. Nearly every single one of them disagrees with you. Your "appeal to authority" fallacy has no merit here.
