Wait Silky so you're saying if you're a shaman tanking a mob, you DONT want torpor up all the time?

I'm struggling to understand when that is.

We are still waiting for you to show us how to play. So far you are too cowardly to do so, and continue to concede you have no idea what you are talking about.

Thanks for showing you can only provide insults.

I didn't say that. Nice strawman. Please read next time. I said you don't want to cannibalize all the time, since damage spikes can kill you. On Ionat I average 4 cannibalizes per Torpor, with Torpor up all the time. It's silly to think you can always cannibalize the full 1200-1500 HP on a mob that can deal 800+ damage in 8 seconds while slowed.

I'd rather have epic first. Most shaman have it well before 60.

Most people would prefer to have Epic before 60. I leveled to 60 with JBB because Epic was too expensive for me to buy, and my guild was getting bad luck on Tear drops. Sometimes you need to compromise.

Having Epic at 60 doesn't allow you to kill anything new. If you level to 60 faster, and then you have to farm 40k by killing guards because you don't have Torpor, you didn't really save yourself any grinding.

If you have Torpor at 60 and no Epic, you can farm all sorts of camps like Fungi King to get the money needed to buy Epic.

This whole thread is just about people with different death risk tolerances, right?

Like if you want to give yourself the best chances of dropping a rare mob with a guaranteed drop, you might want to make sure your health stays above X% at all times and it might make sense to JBB more.

If you're farming a common mob with a rare drop, then you probably want to churn through them faster and so you're going to dot and canni more.

Either option is fine depending on what risk/reward you are going for.

What am I missing?

You are correct. Nice summary. Sadly a lot of posters here are trolls, and simply cannot communicate like normal people. They will bloat threads for no reason.
