Why would I use Blast of Poison and not Ice Strike if I wanted to blast something as a shaman? Blast is a mediocre mid-level spell, am I missing something?

Z is just being silly. He can't even math right.

My guess is he is using Blast of Poison due to it's lower cast time. If you were killing mobs every 8 seconds or so it's not a bad choice because Ice Strike's cast time is 7 seconds vs. Blast of Poison's 4.5 second cast time. Ice Strike would be harder to land with such a short window.

We should test, and stream this live.

I can play my enc, DSM can play his shaman, Troxx can play his cleric, and we just need a focused mage/epic mage

Do a seb grind for a few hours with parses/logs running the whole time.

Name a time/place and I'll be there.

Edit: Add in a second enc as well, since we pretty much assumed we had at minimum 2 enc at all times here.

Yeah that would be fun! It would need to be on a weekend. Troxx could be on his Mage if we can't find another.

Exactly. Z is somehow thinking the group is just going to be running through Seb at bard speed slaughtering mobs.

The Shaman will have time to Canni/Torpor in Seb lol.

Magician with a 175K manna robe, 800K epic, raid loot click boots, etc had better be pretty flippin good. Sheesh, at pushing near to a cool million plat value not even counting any other spells or slots that makes a shaman look cheap. I think Troxx's more modest character is a much better representation of what we can consider baseline.



Think a lot of folks are so used to "grind up levels, hit 60, retire and start new alt" that they perhaps aren't as used to doing stuff the way 60 smallmans usually do. Chain-killing is usually not needed and even fairly busy areas like Velketor Broodmother, a high-damage quad-man like this one is going to run out of mobs before the cycle starts anew. If you're more constantly in combat it's usually going to be something that's living for awhile.

Danth
Agreed.

The fact that you guys think kill speed in Seb is the metric that defines "best" is telling.
