JBB, is it really that good?

If you are unable to re-apply your Epic buff every time it wears off on a tough mob, that simply shows you aren't very efficient with your spell usage.

In order of importance:

1. Stay alive
2. Maintain debuffs (see above)
3. Apply damage

Failure at 1 makes the rest irrelevant. Failure at 2 increases the likelihood of failure at 1. Any efforts made at 3 imply you are winning at 1 and 2.

When it comes to the application of damage, Bane is >36 dps for a single 5 second cast. EB is 26.6 dps for a single 6.1 second cast. Pox is 19.33dps for a 5 second cast. Epic is a back loaded (most of the damage comes in the last third of its duration) 15.83 dps for a 9 second cast.

So yeah I don’t sweat it if I lose a couple of ticks of mana-free epic dot between refreshes because it does have the least returns on time investment.

Then again, maybe I don’t sweat it because I have plenty of mana because I’m not wasting my time clicking an 8 sec JBB?

Food for thought.
