Haha not once did I ever say a epic shaman is not more efficient. Of course he is since he's using no mana except for roots. If it is an empty island of course a shaman would be best. Talking about most user friendly for crowded times on the isle in this thread. Can't complain about quadders kiting mobs when a shammy is slowly ticking away their health.
I'd much rather see a necro/mage burning thru mobs for faster turnover of the island..

its less obvious/overtly obnoxious than a bard or a quad kiter...but shamans can tie down an obscene amount of mobs with their slow and steady root/dot stuff.

the real annoyance when you share an area with a shaman is that it tends to take them (much) longer to kill stuff, so over the course of several hours you have fewer available spawns.

the world is so big though...why share if you don't like to? there are plenty of persistently empty camps that give exp and cash loot and are almost always uncamped on p99.

I'm not talking about efficency, I'm talking about speed. If there's only 1 mob, a Shaman will pour extra dots onto it and kill fast.

If there's 9 spawns, a Shaman can kill all 9 in ~5-6 minutes.

Who else is killing 9 that fast?

I don't think your average shaman on seafury island is going to finish 9 seafuries in ~5-6 minutes.

Enstill + epic and it's not too tough. 7 would be cake.

As a wizard with 4 mobs I can kill them in about 30 seconds, who else can do it that fast, talk about mob turnaround! med for 7-8 mins and kill another 4 in 30 seconds. It's all perspective man, if I have the mobs available I can kill faster than anyone, just a difference in methods

Similarly, I could churn through about 8-9 quads per hour if I was there during off hours. Certainly one of the more lucrative activities available to me. But again, the key is off hours.

Yah I was more or less trying to draw a comparison that my 6 minutes of gathering mobs for a kite, is the same as the 6 minutes it takes an epic to root/rot. People on seafury island are always just a bunch of fuckin grumps anyways. When I was there I would send tells to people, I would let people peel from my quads they had 3 and I had 2, I would share, and you know what I had a blast there

If you're pulling multiple mobs when other people are waiting on one, you're a dick. Very simple rule!
