The real answer is that Fungi is simply always better for standard xp group content 99.9% of the time.

Vindi does win fashionquest hands down.

Troxx makes random claims with no evidence again. Hopefully he will explain himself.

The reality is damage spikes affect high level players, and are problematic. 30 HP from two ticks of Fungi will do nothing when you have taken 500 damage from a spell and 500 damage from multiple max hits within 12 seconds. Resists could reduce that 500 spell damage to zero, and AC could reduce 100+ damage from the max hits. I'll take -600 damage over -30 damage any day in a group with a healer.

When you have Vindi and Fungi, it's trivial to switch between the two as needed. Keeping Vindi bagged in high level groups is simply done out of laziness. It's not based on evidence showing Fungi is always better.

It’s EQ, there is a disclaimer for every situation. In general the less people and less healing power the more fungi’s and invig clicks help. Assuming people aren’t geared to the teeth.

Unless your low-man is a monk/warrior and ranger or something though I don’t think it’s a make or break situation.

The best part of having a fungi is altquesting with it. The best part of a Vindi Bp is having an excuse to do something else with the Fungi. Thats my own justification typically.

Also anyone with both fungi and vindi bp should just experiment. Then they can save napkins for batwing crunchies with their Qeynos Afternoon Teas.

The only time I'm using Vindi BP over Fungi while leveling is with a cleric and a slower. Even in that perfect scenario, you're splitting hairs and more or less making your cleric feel better by casting a few more CHs.

Plain and simple.

Say OP is duo with a shaman, or trio with shaman and rogue/mage/whatever.

The shaman has to do a ton of work. Using a fungi will help immensely. Any scenario with no cleric present its fungi by 100 miles.

There is no amount of paper napkin math that is going to say otherwise, no need to complicate a game from 1999.

Vindi bp used to be so pretty
Now it's the worst fashion,even worse than a fungi

Unless your getting ch from a cleric with excess mana,or pulling in a zone with lots of casters(hole, seb) fungi gonna win out.

I have both.

Fungi is just better in groups. All the way up to 60. There really isn’t much of an exception. Dmg output is low enough that it offsets a good chunk of it flat out - a lot more than ac ever would. R This isn’t the type of situation that requires an exercise in calculus.

Raids? Vindi all the way.
