Let's see those Stanos parses DSM. Go root rot 4 Stanos. How about Seb protector? You've been arguing about best 4 casters at lvl 60 (you conceded shaman wasn't good enough below 60), yet you're showing parses of you root rotting lvl 40 mobs. Pick a real target.

You missed the discussion. Please read. We were talking about Sebilis, so I am using mobs that a Mage would typically be fighting. You aren't bringing a Mage to Fungi King, you are bringing them to disco. The only difficult camp a Mage would be used for in Seb is Juggs for CoTH.

I have plenty of videos showing me fighting tougher mobs on my youtube channel if you want to parse those hehe. Remember though that my DPS will be lower because I also need to face tank the mob. In a group I don't need to do that typically, so I can focus on DPS.

I will argue this one even though we're more broadly in agreement: If the guy plays a mage, it happens to be what he has, his buddies aren't going to tell him to stuff it and stay home if they happen to want to do myconids sometime. So this time, he goes to Fungus King, ideal or not. The wife and I have had friends on unusual-for-the-zone characters tag along with us any number of times. So for this specific discussion, I think we shouldn't discount it. The group's going to make do with what they have.

Of course, but this discussion is about ideal classes. Obviously a group of friends will do what they want with what they have. You could do Fungi King with a lot of class combinations, but that doesn't mean Mage is better than Shaman if you had to pick one.

Sort of: It was about an ideal group, but for use overall, including taking said group to places where their characters might be individually unsuited. If you're stuck with a magician at fungus king, even if you'd prefer something else, it's an interesting discussion in its own right to see what it can do and how to make the best of it.

It's a big game. None but the most determined magician advocates aren't going to concede the shaman's going to be better when this same group heads over to West Wastes to fight some dragons.
