My shaman has neither epic nor JBB and had no problems leveling. It's quite nice but it's more or less just a tool for leveling faster. It also adds some good utility at 60 when soloing. I do cry when I see shamans chain clicking their JBB in groups where their time is better spent slowing, healing, buffing, canni-ing and meddling.
Even in a duo I'd wager you'd do faster over time just by playing the support game with a hasted max summon dog pet. I parsed the level 49 pet at max summon, stat buffed, and 40% alacrity around 15-20 dps in Karnors. I could have afforded a JBB, but i prioritized an ikky regen bp and saving for a fungi over buying one.

I got one for free (YAY) yesterday, and since my shammy is mainly wearing banded with a few cheap WIS items at lv39, the AC alone is worth a lot to me. I look forward to some very decent mana-free nukes in a few levels!

I would consider it useful in certain situations, as others have said. When I leveled my twink shammy it was an extremely useful tool to finish off mobs when you have 6+ root/rotting and didn't want to cast another root/epic click. Also extremely useful against higher level summoning mobs as Triangle (Svenn I believe?) has stated. It won't make or break your shaman, really more of a convenience tool than anything else, especially before torpor makes your high mana costs DoTs more worthwhile.

still nice at 60 when
1. you need a mob to die 2. it will make your dots require one less tick to finish off a mob if 1 is true and 2 is false, i just ice strike

Since 52ish I really only use JBB to finish off merbs when my dots have faded and its not mana efficient to re-apply (since mob is so low HP). Or if I am main heals in a group and want to add a little extra DPS without burning mana.
Granted, I'm not level 60..... but, IMO, the higher level you get, the less useful JBB becomes, and I only find it useful now to finish low HP merbs off. With that said, I still dont bag the thing, its always ready. JBB is pretty damn sweet though when you get it at 45 though. | ||
