Fear undead @2 sec cast is more valuble then a JBB
Fear kite for full dot damage and no JBB can save your life. Undead train? Fear fear fear gate
Never regret being the best shaman.

There aren't enough notable Animal/Undead mobs for the fear clickies to be worth it sadly. If you want to fear kite, you can get a bio orb, and that works on mobs over 55+. There aren't enough notable Animal/Undead casters for the interrupt to be to useful either.

The fear clickies would be a lot better if one of them was just a normal fear. JBB is better than the fear clickies because the fear clickies are heavily restricted.

I said not enough noteable undead/animals, as in named mobs worth killng for loot. When leveling, mobs are already easy enough. You don't need fear to kill trash mobs.

You aren't going to be fearing mobs in Hate. Leveling there is very dangeous too. Not worth it. If your root breaks while fear is still active you are going to have a bad time.

WW Dragons are generally immune to fear, there's only one or two that aren't, and they don't drop the good armor pieces. Killing trash in WW like the wolves isn't efficient for a Shaman.

For Howling Stones you aren't going to want to use fear on a Shaman. Only Oblations are casters in North/Basement, and they are easy enough to resist. You don't have FD like a Necro/SK, so getting adds from a bad fear is just going to slow down your leveling process.

In all of those zones it would be faster to just JBB spam a mob down while leveling if you don't have the money for epic.

Root + fear means those annoying undead casters won't cast if no one is in melee range right?

Would make HS basement or stuff in seb easier I bet.

This thread was about JBB vs not as in Iksar -
Having the fear clickies over the characters life is way more useful as an OUT of CLASS spell line-
The fact you listed the BIO orb as a counter is moronic at best and put of reach for most players. The quests for the Cazic symbols are not.

Like I said Fear in hate?? Yes to fear fear fear gate -
No amount of JBB clicks will save you from an undead mob train - spook undead @ 2 sec unlimited CAN and WILL.

Your limited (zero) experience with them shows how unimaginatively you play the game.

Like I have said JBB makes weak shaman

The amount of Shamans who have a bio orb is probably greater than the amount of Shamans who actually solo in Hate on a regular basis. It is a very strange argument to complain about the cost of bio orb, while seemingly claiming that soloing in Hate is something a normal Shaman does, especially one who can't afford a bio orb.

An out of class spell line is irrelevant if it doesn't help you in a significant way. Please name an undead/animal mob you think needs to be feared to kill on a Shaman.

You can also root/camp mobs just fine. I get that you think the fast cast time of the clickies helps you here, but you forget that a fleeing mob can bring more friends. I am not saying this strategy can never work, but having a bunch of feared mobs running around a place like hate is a gamble too lol. I have used the fear line of spells a lot, as I have a 60 SK. I understand the idea of using fear to help you survive.
