Thus would not be something you would build your entire group around. An argument could be made for a 3rd enchanter or a necromancer. But a shaman is only a better option for very few things that are not worthy of building an entire group around.


We all agree shaman does not belong in the best 4 man caster/priest group. Can we end this thread now?
Someone didn't read the data, as usual. The Mage's DPS isn't significant, and this is an Epic Mage. A normal Mage may be lower. For 4.3 seconds to matter on a camp with 20 mobs that respawn every 30 minutes, you would need to be at the camp for 11 hours to get one extra spawn cycle.

In an Enchanter/Enchanter/Cleric setup, Mage isn't necessary unless you really want CoTH. They are just redundant DPS. The Shaman will give superior utility and open up more camps.

A Mage could help the group level a bit faster before 60, but a group with 2x Enchanters is already going fast. As I said before, you could even swap an Enchanter or the Cleric for a Necro if you want FD. Your DPS will still be fine.
