Answer my complex questions?

OK, I can tell from the other thread you're big on statistics...which is great.

But why ignore your downtime? Casting that many more spells there's more scope for resists (you're not factoring in the malise line), there's more scope for root breaks/recasts.

Shaman pets don't dual wield and are usually light blue/green con to its owner... they're not going to be great dps, free yes, but don't overplay their damage :/

If we had a 44 shaman and a 44 cleric with identical WIS, I'd totally wager a bet that a cleric would get through more undead mobs per hour than the shaman.

In my eyes you're not doing more damage per hour because you're spending longer on each mob to get that damage put out, and unless you think you can maintain full mana or close to it by frequent canni'ing through the fight or chain pulling I just don't see it. You can't speed your dps up without casting DD's, and the amount of canni work to keep up would set you back in heals or downtime to regen it.

I can't see it, sorry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
