Don't you need to be grouped with the person you're trying to cast it on?

Yes

Aside from allowing Shammies to regain mana very fast and be excellent backup healers for raids (although I recall more than one tank saying "Let me die unsnared please!") with Torpor you can torpor yourself, pull a bunch of mobs with AOE slow, then root them at your leisure to epic rot. Between the lowered damage output from the slow and the constant 300hp pulses from Torpor makes breaking camps solo much easier... send in the torpored 55 pet to absorb all the HTs before the AOE slow for extra credit [You must be logged in to view images.

^^All the cookies for you

Costs 400 hp to cast a torp (through canni)

1200hp minimum HP restored per cast, 1500 if you land the torp at primetime (not including 200hp cast fee)

Thankfully, there's a pretty steep monetary barrier on this server that prevents all but the most dedicated (or twinked) shamans from having access to Torpor. I think there would be far less clerics if Torpor was purchaseable from a vendor.

Fewer clerics

Nah, as OP as Torpor is it ain't Complete Heal.

I think I paid 9k and two pieces of loam armor for my copy on red.

That's awesome. Too bad after you got it you still had to play on red.

Nah red isn't bad tbh. Easy to level up, easy to find groups. Things a shaman would want to camp are usually open. And if they are not pvp usually solves that.

torpor is incredibly cheap on red compared to blue because the economy isn't as inflated, and when we had a chokehold on pretty much all kunark raid content we didn't charge out the ass for it either

we had like 9 copies of torpor in our guildbank after like 4 months and sold them out for 10-15k a piece

Pretty sure that's where my copy came from.
