Shaman - Fungi Covered Great staff

JBB is overrated.

I had one, was disappointed. Sold it ... then won another and sold it too.

It has a niche value for soloing 45-51 and that’s pretty much it. At 60 the math has been done and saving the cast time an investing on dot casts, torpor, and canni IV wins out.

For groups? Shamans that neglect their primary duties to JBB spam are just bad.

It’s a toy and not functionally worth the price.

I disagree.

Not everyone will get their shaman to 60, and if they do they won’t necessarily have big things like epic/torpor. OP is 54 and can’t even afford an ikky bp yet.

Jbb is a fantastic item from 45 until a shaman has all those things you mentioned at 60. That’s a pretty massive gap for an item that’s not that expensive, sells quickly, and is just fun to click. If you’re solo spamming this it’s putting out almost as much damage as bane is, for free. Puts out over double what an epic does in the same time. Getting epic eventually? Great pair them together solo if you need to burn a mob down quicker.

If you have any intentions to solo it’s worth getting IMO. and Even in certain group settings it’s great if a shaman has nothing else to do and wants to add in some dps. Not hard to get a group buffed and slow mobs which leaves the shaman with little to do if there’s a cleric around. And It’ll be more sustained dps than a wizard probably.
