I usually admit when I am wrong though[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] That simply tends to get lost in the sea of baseless accusations I can easily rebut, due to a lack of evidence.

It seems to me you havent played a Shaman, if you think JBB is only a leveling toy. It is still quite useful at 60. The resoning is very simple: You cannot buy or generate spell slots. JBB gives you one of your best Direct Damage spells for free, without a spell gem. This is WAY more valuable than a bit of damage mitigation, because Shamans already have one of the best damage mitigation systems in the game with Torpor and a 75% slow. See my Cliff Golems video for an example on how you can use JBB to do damage to a mob, while not staying on the top of their hate list. This allows your pet to tank summoning mobs, saving you WAY more HP than an Iksar would: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=umuVBewCNgY

You're giving JBB superiority in this situation because of the safety net it's giving you when fighting a cliff golem [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. That's subjective. Better for you might mean safer, better for someone else might mean just face tanking a golem w/ pox/bane and not bothering with the measly JBB dps to get it killed faster as the previous poster mentioned. Again, just your opinion against another's [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I look forward to this tally weight revision though in your guide! If I like it I might ask you to create an SK racial guide, another hot topic!
