You have yet to

You have yet to name a camp that needs a Shaman despite your claim that you could name more than one, and you have provided zero evidence of a Shaman root-rotting multiple mobs parallel to their group, despite your tens/hundreds/thousands of posts claiming a Shaman can do so to improve their group's DPS more than a non-Epic Mage could/would.

Ahhh … a walk down memory lane

Mage Velious Pants = clickie Burnout III (pet haste)

A Mage can pump out massive sustained DPS for hours on end using literally no mana and by pressing two buttons per mob. Throw in C2 and downtime medding and the Mage can also toss in regular nukes for even higher DPS. A focused 60 water pet positioned for backstabbing is very close if not greater than epic pet DPS and is very attainable for every Mage main.

The Mage is easily maintaining over 100 DPS while day trading, doing laundry, gardening and lifting weights. Meanwhile DSM's keyboard is catching on fire from pressing buttons so fast trying to Canni/Torpor back the 800 mana he is blowing each kill. StarCraft world champions literally salivating over this man's sustained APM and click speed. Korean teenagers making pilgrimages to his house to learn his secrets (he tells them nothing, he just whispers "I did it all for the Fungi"). Even still, despite his best efforts, he is easily smoked by the Mage's DPS in real world scenarios.But his quixotic crusade persists. He must spread the gospel of Bane and Pox. It's worth it to him to be recognized as the only DPS Shaman in the history of EverQuest (in his delusional mind at least).

A pattern has emerged as I find the funniest yet most on-point posts. It’s the same person each time …

As of the bottom of 34, DSM is up to his eyeballs and arguing with literally everyone but Danth who has struck a neutral and somber/mature/balanced tone.

Pocket clerics have not yet entered the discussion. DSM still arguing for shaman being the 4th, not the third thus replacing the cleric. Why did his mind change so thoroughly as to discount the value of the cleric? Hmmm…

People can check the post history to find out about cyxthryth, and decide how truthful he is about the post history.

He will continue to bloat the thread by reposting these things over and over, regardless of what the post history actually says.

430 out of 437 of his posts are in this thread alone.

Troxx continues to dodge the question about poclet characters.

Why do you need pocket characters so badly? You have yet to answer that question.

I've answered that many times already. You can check the post history.

Pocket characters are a common part of P99. Anybody who wants to min/max their solo game, static group, etc. is going to have them.

I'm sure you know at least one Enchanter who has a pocket cleric camped nearby for a res. Why would said Enchanter suddenly give that up in a static group?

I'm glad someone is doing a re-read & can point out exactly when you provide evidence of Shaman root-rotting and let us know precisely which page it's on. I'm sure that's something they'll be watching for! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
The camps that "need" Shaman too!

I’ve read the whole thread I think twice - plus skip backs and smaller re-reads. He never provided anything other than napkin math and solo fights. He never, to my knowledge, ever demonstrated root rotting multiples adjacent to a fast moving group … even for a short period of time. For dozens of pages we encouraged him to go join a fast moving group and show what he could do - and did not. Only napkin math divorced from reality.

Of the videos he showcased, he shows himself almost letting his group wipe out with 2 enchanters in Howling stone in a breathtaking display of god-awful asshattery - i think it was even in the first 2-5 minutes of the video.

If you haven’t read this thread from the start, the first 50 pages are eye-opening. The other 460-480 pages are mostly recycled arguments from the community and an endless amount of dodging, making of demands, goal post movings etc

Stipulations:
-4 characters
-all have to be casters or priests

Not 4 characters + a bunch of pockets. That’s as absurd to the point of this thread as changing the other stipulation to allow for a tank, melee or hybrid.

Why do you so strongly need to have pockets? Is it because the shaman will need a pocket cleric? Cause the cleric does not need a pocket shaman for the group to be 100% successful.

It’s ok bro. We know the reason you are dying on pocket_cleric hill. You’re just too proud to be honest about it.

See? He dodged again about pocket characters.

This goes back to Troxx's false claim that solo videos cannot be translated into group scenarios. This is part of his tactic to dismiss all evidence. This false claim is why he says I have no evidence for root rotting, which is untrue.

The howling stones video he keeps referencing actually disproves this claim, which was the actual point of the video. I showed I could sustain Direct Damage DPS across a two hour group session while doing other Shaman duties, in the same manner I showed Shaman Direct Damage DPS in a solo video.

Thank you for bringing that up, and showing you didn't read that part of the thread.

Ooo page 38. Zura has so thoroughly debunked DSM that we see the first episode of caustic copy/paste reposting. 3x on one page we see a copy/paste of wall-of-text garbage.

Danth spanks him lightly for this at the top of page 39

All other duties? Like how you failed to heal the enchanter less than 5 minutes in and left him at 3%, saved only by the skin of his teeth because someone else saved him? We all saw that video.

As for you sustaining damage, I can promise you it was less than what a mage pet (probably even unhasted) could do.
