“The best” 4 person all caster/priest group is going to be centered around the overpowered nature and capabilities of charmed pets. Dealing with charm breaks is therefore not “merely one facet” … it is a core aspect and absolutely critical to the success of a “the best” 4 person all caster/priest group.

It is just a facet. One that can be handled by the Enchanters the majority of the time. Dedicated Cleric support is not necessary, and you have provided no evidence to suggest otherwise.

For the first 59 levels of playing the shaman quite literally will not be Torp tanking. Once you hit 60, unless you are a pleb tier player you will be hunting in areas where the charm pets will have 4500 hp on the low end and 7k to 9k+ on the high end. The shaman won’t be torp tanking because you won’t have a shaman - you’ll have a cleric complete healing pets for absurd values.

The first 59 levels will be easy with the four player group, and Shamans can slow tank before Torpor. You seem to forget most XP mobs do not hit hard, especially after they are slowed. I slow tanked soloing all the way to 60.
Once you hit 60, most camps this group will be doing can be Torpor Tanked. For the camps that can't be Torpor Tanked, you can either use a Pocket Cleric, or run Shaman/Cleric/Enchanter/Enchanter if you want to do soemthing like Vaniki. That is already a camp at the upper limit of what a four player caster/priest group would be doing.

By the by, a torp shaman laser focused on torp tanking really nasty hitting high level mobs isn’t going to have the same reaction capabilities to help on charm breaks when help is needed.

You'll need to provide evidence for this claim. I can Torpor tank and react to other situations just fine.

By the by Id love to see you torp tank a protector of Zek in Kael arena. A cleric would not have a hard time keeping a big nasty pet up with complete heal

Are you claiming a group of four casters/priests is going to be doing this mob?

Concur with Penish. I find the argument not compelling. His insistence on pocketing a 5th toon because the shaman cannot actually safely get the job done on all scenarios is laughable.

Troxx will continue to hand wave everything away because he cannot counter my points. He continues to prove this with every post. His debate performance is poor thus far.
With that said, I commend Troxx's self control by not attacking me or trolling me. Great job!
