This is how I canni dance. I dance every other tick using a Macro. You just need to click the macro once and then click your GCD item once between the first and second canni cast. Two buttons every 12 seconds. This works for canni 1, 2, and 3. You can squeeze two canni's in between one tick, so you don't have to try and cast canni once per tick.

Details are in the video description, but I'll copy them here:

Interesting thanks. Can you macro the GCD into that somehow (i.e., one click of macro does canni, GCD, and second canni)? Or is that getting into illegal on P99 range

canni dancing is 100% not required to play shaman

It's required to play with maximum efficiency, most especially before Torpor.

I liked my shaman but canni as a mechanic fucking sucks and pretty much single handedly made me never want to play a shaman again. It should have been a lich form type thing

A single huge HP/MP conversion with a significant recharge time or placing that effect over 4 ticks is the way to do it. It gets so tiresome to hear the sound of the spell so much.

Nothing you're going to be doing before Torpor requires playing at max efficiency.

You're just a dumb dumb "on paper" tryhard. Next.

Yes it does. You will not be able to keep the maximum number of spawns camped without full mana efficiency, whether that means solo or in terms of what a group will be able to do depending on your mana. And during certain chaotic pulls, having the mana for an extra heal or not can mean the difference between life and death.

It's not "required" by anyone for any class to play the best, people can go at their own pace, but it's always a difference in the power ceiling a character will have. I like to maximize my efficiency, it often feels bad to do less. It also feels bad to canni dance constantly, or just to spam canni in general. A lose-lose scenario for playing a Shaman, but there are countless things in the game that can be designed better.

real shaman just canni down without sitting and then bind wound up just saying xD

easiest to level would have to be whatever was needed most in a group setting, so basically any of the priest classes, including a bard

hardest to level would be any off-race melee class, like a human SK, or some kind of elf warrior instead of ogre for both

and of course the most fun is the necro and the mage, not too much pressure in a group and can solo just fine
