JBB, is it really that good?

Yeah 240 mana or a 260 hitpoint nuke is a pretty difficult decision to make (It's really not) and it does matter if you're a bad player especially when you're giving out "advice".

Must suck to suck /shrug.

Good luck elf pals, ZoOOOOm!

Shamans find the time to cast Torpor, Slow, Malo, Epic, Bane, and Pox in-between cannibalizing.

If you can't find the time to cast JBB, you simply need to improve your ability to weave spells into your cannibalize routine. Remember that you aren't always re-applying DoTs/Debuffs, since they take time to finish.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPxeOVuX0G8 - When fighting Ionat solo, I cast 33 Torpors and 121 Cannibalizes, which means 4 Cannibalizes per Torpor. I didn't need more than that to win the fight. That means you only need to spend 18-20 seconds on Torpor + Cannibalize per minute. You've got 40 seconds to do other things.

It's not a good idea to always be cannibalizing on a tougher fight like Ionat. You need to maintain a certain HP percentage to avoid getting killed by a few lucky double attacks in a row. That means you are sometimes waiting for Torpor to tick you back to safe HP levels. If you have nothing else to cast in that time, you might as well throw in a JBB cast or two.
