I've said it before and I'll say it again:

If you're tanking a wall of at level mobs, you're dead.

If you're tanking a wall of green mobs, if they're beyond a certain range their bash not only rarely hits, it also doesn't stun.

The thrust of what you say is true, but come on, it doesn't just flip between one state and the other. There is a middle ground of levels where mobs can have a chance to stun you AND you have a reasonable chance of surviving a few of them.

Not relevant to ogres, but you'll occasionally see low level clerics grabbing a bunch of weak xp mobs, to kill them with repeated word of pains. From my observations they have to take steps to mitigate their lack of FSI - they kite the mobs into a ball (which also helps to circumvent the cool down on PBAoEs), let the mobs all get into melee range at the same instant and then after that first wave of attacks/bashes they begin to cast their pbaoe.

Is there scope for JBB shaman to adopt similar tactics? Are ogres better because they don't need to eat the first wave of attacks? IDK. I'm not sure how relevant killing swarms of greens / very low blues with JBB is tbh (since JBB is the context of the discussion).
