JBB, is it really that good?

It’s “free” sub 60 but with Torp it’s an opportunity cost. There are other things someone can do with that time. Like make more mana while waiting for dots and torp to run its course.

What people are failing to grasp is that time is a finite resource. Player clicks are often less than robotically perfect. Even if you could script the perfect rotation, which you can’t and it’s not legal anyways, I can’t imagine how you could fit in a JBB with efficiency. Simply look at Bane…it does 6x the damage and is a 3 second quicker cast. Torp heals for approximately 5x the DD of a JBB and is also a second quicker. This is math, not creative writing class…

If someone here can manipulate time and space I hope they are finding something better to do with that super power than sneaking in a 268dd click on an elf sim.

all the points you're making are not wrong, and make perfect sense in some scenarios
because sometimes using JBB can be a detriment if you should be casting or doing something else. i'd like to think most players can tell when its a good time to click or a bad time. Regardless its never a bad thing to have an extra tool in your toolbelt. Even if you don't use it often.
but with your explanation you fail to consider situations where a bane is overkill, or you don't need to torp or canni, or you cant canni because HP too low. There are so many situations where a free DD, even at 8 seconds, can come in handy and is the right move over something else that will drain your mana.

Some people do over rely on the jbb, or use it in bad situations just being lazy. but to just outright say its worthless or never worth the use just doesnt make sense to me. Gonna have to respectfully disagree on that.
