I don't see the word utility there. Do you want to walk this statement back? You need to explain why 50 DPS is irrelevant (Shaman DPS), but 80 DPS (Mage DPS) is relevant.

When you can't explain your own quote, you resort to insults again.

We've already established that the healing counts as the "utility", along with all their other spells which are not DPS.

And, for the last time, we've already established that DPS in 4th slot is not "irrelevant".

Yeah, I'm beginning to see what Plsnoban was saying. You can't be reasoned with. You've already lost the argument more than 100 pages ago, but you're so insane and unintelligent you can't realise this.

I am being reasonable. You just aren't explaining what you mean. I 100% disagree with the statement that Shaman utility is irrelevant. It opens up camps you couldn't do if you had a Mage. It also increases your groups survivability.

It is obvious you care about group survivability (and thus utility), or you would pick 3 Enchanters and a Cleric, or 4 Enchanters if you think DPS is the end-all-be-all. You cannot simultaneously argue a group with 2x Enchanters and Cleric aren't going to use a Shaman's utility, but it's too risky to bring a 3rd Enchanter, so you pick Mage instead.

If you want to claim Shaman DPS is irrelevant (50 DPS), you need to either show Mage DPS is higher than the current data shows, or show 30 extra DPS from bringing the Mage is changing your group in some fundamental way.

I am not sure why you need to resort to insults instead of explaining this.

Lol welcome to the thread. Honestly the best part about this thread has become new people coming in and telling DSM that he’s wrong and he writes unintelligible novels in response so the person just gets exasperated with him and then he starts insulting them.

Gloomlord has been the latest victim. Now the cycle shall begin anew.

Did you forget, in your complete insanity, that there are two enchanters here who can "open up camps"? Why would they need a shaman?

I am not sure why need to resort to childishness instead of admitting defeat.

Oh this is easy too. There are camps that Enchanters can't do.

West Waste Dragons are a good example. They AoE dispel (charm break) and summon, so they are pretty difficult for an Enchanter to do. I never see Enchanters soloing West Waste Dragons because of this. The pets an Enchanter can get in West Wastes are also not very good.

Shamans can solo West Waste Dragons, so they would allow your group to do them quite easily. As I mentioned before, mobs with high resists such as Ixiblat Fer and Fungi King are also mobs that a Shaman is good for. The Shaman can focus on slowing the mob while the Enchanters/Cleric keep the pets under control.

The Mage offers nothing other than DPS.

The WW wyvern huner/huntresses seem to be perfectly good pets, but yeah aoe dispel is a real deterent for enchanters.
