FSI is overrated garb

See? Gotchas. That is an expression saying "you can't win". I am not literally saying I want to win. But again, this is the only thing you can do since you aren't actually showing evidence to support your position.



I've posted loads of data. You simply ignoring it isn't an argument.

You just need to accept that in a video game, which is built on rules and math, there is a right and wrong answer. There is a best and worst racial. I am not sure why this bothers you, and you must force your belief on people that there is "no right answer". That is factually incorrect.




If you don't believe me, please quote me where I said FSI was life changing or required. You won't find it.

There’s no way to actually prove FSI is superior though. If you had a million hours of shaman logs on an ogre, and a million hours of shaman logs on a troll/iksar, what exactly would be your rating criteria?

Getting stunned just means it took you longer to cast a spell. But regen means you will have more mana to cast spells because you don’t need to cast torpor as much. There’s no way you could possibly tell how many times FSI saved your life either. Even if it did, why would that make it better? A rare death here and there from a stun doesn’t make it better. This is what you fail to realize.

FSI benefits on a shaman are all theorycraft. It doesn’t equate to anything. We can show that an iksar monk can probably pull longer than a human monk with regen ticking. And also tank better with the ac bonus. There’s nothing we can actually measure to say FSI is better on a shaman. I wouldn’t be surprised if the troll snare necklace has saved more lives than shaman FSI. We can tell an ogre warrior can actually position better and generate more aggro in the long term with FSI.

I’ve said it before like many others. FSI is a benefit in that it removes the annoyance of getting stunned for shamans. That’s it. And it might make you a better jbb caster. But spamming jbb isn’t shaman min max.

You’re attempting to “win” an endless debate. I don’t know why you’re so set on trying to prove FSI is king. It’s not gonna happen. People already have made up their minds on which is better to them.

I am not sure why people keep thinking I am arguing FSI is life changing. I have never said that, and I have repeated myself hundreds of times at this point.

Uh....k.

Lol Crede is right though. Regen for a class than can Canni = mana. Trolls and Iksars basically have FT4 while standing over the others. Often I canni down to like half health and just run to the next spot a few zones over. By the time you get there you are almost full health and saved a torp.

Free mana you don’t have to click a snare/heal for is nice too.

Yeah, this.

The problem is you don't get free mana if you aren't regenerating, and you fully recover before the next fight. Torpor is the equivalent of FT150. The difference between FT150 and FT154 is basically negligible due to the number already being so high.

A Cliff Golem takes 6 minutes to respawn, and you will fully recover your HP/Mana in 3 minutes. You are still waiting 3 minutes for the next spawn. Not regenerating HP or Mana. A Troll and an Ogre are no different in this scenario.

And if you want to canni to half health and regenerate across zones, you don't need Troll Regen to do that. Regrowth + Fungi Tunic will work just fine in that scenario.

The snare clicky sadly is also bad. It has the worst snare in the game, a long cast time, and a 30 second duration. You can't even use it to snare, camp, and come back to a mob that is now single. You'll still need a clickie/proc with a longer snare to do that. For mobs that gate, most of them can be fought on their spawn points to prevent that.

Lets take the shaman stuff out of the tank sub forum?

The context here is OP made this thread due to another discussion in the priest section. That discussion was him hijacking a thread about JBBs to talk about FSI vs. Regen. This thread should have been started in the priest section to begin with.

Here is part of OP's original post in this thread:

Due to how soon he made this thread after his last post in the priest section, and his specific reference to Ogre Shamans, this is obviously a spill-over thread from the previous discussion, in the wrong section.
