That isn't evidence of better DPS (you did approximately 55), nor is that classic EQ. Your roots will be breaking more frequently in the real game.

Lying about my position again. More proof of your trolling and/or reading comprehension issues. Also, we are talking about P99, not your memory of EQ. This video is real P99 lol.

You can check the post history. Even Crede read my posts correctly when he said "similar". It is a lie when people claim I said Shamans can consistently do better DPS than a non-epic mage. Here is a short explaination if you want the context: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...postcount=5729

This video was an example of doing frenzy while a group below kills trash. I never claimed that was my best gameplay. I was barely trying, and you say I did at least 55 DPS. Shaman pet would add another 15 DPS or so if I had bothered to use it.

And you don't need to take my word for it. Even Troxx, one of my biggest detractors, was doing 80 DPS with his Shaman:

The best focused water pet does around ~65 DPS from the data I've seen. If you are spamming https://wiki.project1999.com/Boots_of_Bladecalling that is another 35 DPS. So a "normal" non-epic mage is doing around 100 DPS. Damage shield damage is highly variable, depending on whos tanking, how fast the mob dies, if the mob is slowed or not, etc.

Most high level groups are not going to care about +30 DPS when compared to the utility a Shaman can provide.
