When somebody gets so used to using a crutch that he can't function without it anymore, quite often he will convince himself that everyone else needs the same crutch, too. Of course it's not true,...

No, it doesn't affect feign. You can receive heals/etc as much as you like whilst feigned out. I make use of this regularly when duo'ing with the wife's shaman.

Also, dot damage running does...

Only time I save HT is if I expect the possibility someone might try to kill-steal something. It's useful to help with KS prevention, especially on the lower HP-type named solo melee's might be...

Don't need a cancelattack macro for using feign death. I've never used one. Easy enough to turn attack off.

Feign death fails on its own with the "fallen to the ground" message. It will also...

It possible the present policies for the guide/GM program may be influencing the lack of merge: They don't want their staff playing on the server they're active as staff on. With two servers,...

Right. I was curious if you tried to put it into exact values for expected actions-per-minute in the manner that you did the kill-rate calculation down to the second. We know the JBB is less...

Did you keep track of average actions-per-minute between the two play styles? It was a long thread; I might've missed it. To me that's more important than a few seconds here or there in average...

Your rounding to 1.0 instead of 1.3 should defacto compensate for the other issue brought up, especially if you also ignored white damage.

Worst case is when you get a few procs in a row because the effect of the second or third procs goes mostly wasted. If expected proc rate is .5 PPM (due to bracer spam taking up many melee rounds),...

The way you worded that it appears you're discussing procs individually. If you're accounting for it, then it's merely a muddled word choice issue, thanks for clearing it up. Due to the length of...

Point is that since it's a DOT, when you get multiple procs in rapid succession the later procs go largely wasted because the effects don't stack. Just refreshes the already longer-than-needed...

For what it's worth, my wife never obtained Canni2 on her own shaman--she used rank 1 until getting canni3 (and later canni4 with Velious). It was fine that way; rank 2 seems entirely optional. If...

There were a handful of iksar vs non-iksar damge intake trials (albeit, with tanks, not shamans) run back when P99 was in Kunark, but I don't know of any being done post-Velious. Since AC/mitigation...

I do not agree it reduces chance of a flip. If I want aggro, chance of a flip is already zero--can't go below zero. I understand where you're coming from in theory, but this is a case where theory...

I can answer this: Because the benefit gained from more aggro generation is not unlimited. Once you're already holding aggro, any additional threat, be it +1, or +1000, is wasted. Hence spamming...
