Exactly. Thank you for agreeing that Vindi BP can be globally better. Thank you for agreeing that you've seen the pattern of Torpor Shamans picking Vindi BP over Fungi Tunic. If most people agreed that passive regeneration was better at level 60 with Torpor, you wouldn't see this trend.

The logic used to explain why Vindi BP is better is the same logic used to explain why FSI is better:

"The random chance to reduce a damage spike is superior to consistent minor passive regeneration on a Torpor Shaman".

There is no false equivalency between Vindi BP and FSI. If passive Regeneration provided more benefit than a random chance to reduce a damage spike, Torpor Shamans would be keeping their Fungi Tunics. Remember that Torpor Shamans are willing to give up 13 passive regeneration to get a random chance at reducing a damage spike through Vindi BP. It's not a stretch to say that they would give up 8 passive regeneration for the same thing through FSI. There is no real way to determine how much Vindi BP is actually helping over Fungi Tunic, but people seem to reach the same consensus that Vindi BP is better.

Thank you for answering the question. As you can see, the trolling wasn't necessary.
