FSI is overrated garb

Yeah that is correct, mobs do bash less. I do notice they tend to always bash as their first attack though, so FSI is quite nice when you are casting a spell with a long cast time. Even at max range the mob will close the gap and hit you before the spell finishes. Again that is why FSI is great on Shamans when soloing, it gives you a higher chance to land the initial malo/slow without wasting the 4 or 5 seconds it takes for the mob to run up to you. That will typically end up saving you more HP than the 80 HP or so you would regen in the first minute.

I don’t think anyone doubts the validity of FSI for shaman soloing. But shaman play style goes beyond solo, particularly shines the most in duos where you aren’t tanking. I actually think there’s an argument for iksars being the best overall shaman race which you admitted iksars were tied with ogres in your own tally guide. But needless to say, the debate will never end 😂
