The most efficient way to kill Paineel guards on my shaman.

[Tobius]

Returning player. Forgot a lot how to play this game but wasn't good before I left.

I'm generally killing the 3 skellys around paineel bank on my shammy as it should be chill and semi afk.

With my characters I generally have hotbuttons listing spells.

So I have a list of my current best buffs and duration, so I cast them all on myself longest to shortest.

Then I summon my pet.

Then I switch to my fighting spell set.

My biggest bit of downtime is obviously mana regen

I can canni/canni dance but that requires clicking when I'd kinda like to afk.

Basically if I sometimes end up oom but never too wounded (with ikky and shammy regen) should I forgo buffing myself (other than str to carry more shit)?

Should I just nuke stuff to keep it simple.

Cast order.

Scourge (DOT)
Tagars Insects (slow) (no need for snare they don't seem to flee)
Envenomed breath (dot)
Listless Power (debuff)
DD (winters roar)

They are usually quite dead before I get to the DD, making me wonder if the dots are pointless.

Weakining it with a debuff causes less damage to me? and more damage on it from meele but just saves me hp right? Which I don't need.

Without running some kind of parse what's the best way to do this?

Are dots only good for longer fights? Should I just nuke em down?
