Lol, this has nothing to do with this thread.

Original poster already said his group decided on shaman/necromancer x2/enchanter so the thread's completed its purpose. Nothing left to do but shoot the breeze.

With respect to single target damage dealt, the magician wants the constant-activity group Shamwowi is using in his hypothetical comparison. Groups that stop for downtime lose a lot of value from the damage shield, the pet won't be quite as strong proportionally, and periodic burst will tend to favor the shaman in this group because the shaman's a near-tank who doesn't care if he rips aggro while the magician's a squishy who doesn't want to rip aggro off the pets so the mage has to hold back more. The magician can readily out-burst the shaman when he has perfect front-loaded aggro generation from something like a shadowknight but they don't have that here.

I recollect Shamwowi said he considers the magician better for experience grinds where constant-activity chain pulls have the most relevance. I don't know the gulf here is as wide as the arguing outwardly suggests.
