People keeping losing the message. The mage is there mainly for malo + pet. The pet is really good on charm breaks and malo helps reduce charm breaks. Because there are 2 chanters, the value of this is doubled. The added utility and DPS are secondary to that.

People have suggested Necro instead, which is a fair argument.

I didn't lose the message. Shamans can Malo (a better Malo too), and the Shaman pet can off-tank Charm breaks just fine in Seb. DPS-wise a Shaman can indeed keep up with a Mage if you split your efforts. Even just root/rotting two mobs gets you to the low end DPS of Troxx's Mage. A Mage offers nothing of value over a Shaman in most of Seb. CoTHing to Juggs is a good point, but that is only one camp[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's 15 pages of DPS arguing that shows otherwise.

I don't know what happened in your life that you feel like have to control every thread on p99 forums, but I wish you the very best in getting it back on track.

The math is quite clear DPS-wise. 100 pages of people trying to deny it won't change the math.

But you said it yourself: the DPS is secondary. That makes Mages even worse hehe, because a Shaman can offer the exact same Charm break safety, plus they can also slow and heal. If both pets Charm break, having two healers means you can heal both Enchanters at the same time if necessary. Plus Shamans have AoE slow hehe. Just slow the broken mobs if it's an emergency.

EDIT: I may be wrong about Haste overriding Slow. I am thinking of the other way around, where Slow overrides Haste.

You have a strange idea of how forums work if you think I am "controlling threads" lol. I am offering information, and people who don't like me for whatever reason want to chime in to attack me. Stick to the topic and prove me wrong with logic and evidence.
