You disputed this quote, but it's not about a single target situation, this is just about grouping. Do you still dispute this?

When he says "grouping", he leaves it vague. He claims that you can never root rot in a group, so I doubt he is including that into his equation. If he wants to admit a Shaman can root rot in a group, that will change my assumption on what he means.

If a group is doing trivial mobs for XP and the Shaman is allowed to root/rot the whole time, the Shaman can give a Mage a run for their money DPS wise. In these kinds of scenarios you don't need a Cleric to be healing the Charmed pets. You are basically soloing in a group at that point.

You can either concede that when talking about "grouping", no one (including you!) is talking about a shaman root-rotting off on the side, or you can concede that when Crede described your position as "a shaman could put out dps similar to a 60 focused water pet mage in a group", it was accurate.

You can't have it both ways.

I can have it both ways, in fact. There is nothing in the game that stipulates you cannot root rot in a group, nor has any evidence been provided to suggest it is a problem.

I'm glad DSM can find groups that let him go off on his own and root rot stuff, but I find the whole concept pretty repulsive.

I know you personally don't like the idea of root rotting in a group, but that isn't relevant to the fact that you can root rot in a group. I was specifically talking about root rotting in a group.

Crede was not describing my position as "A Shaman could put out dps similar to a 60 focused water pet mage in a group while root rotting is their primary function in a group killing XP mobs". I am not sure why you think I have to accept his generic statement of: "A shaman could put out dps similar to a 60 focused water pet mage in a group", when it is incorrect and brings with it incorrect assumptions about what I said.

To give an example, let's say you agreed with me that root rotting is a viable method for soloing. You might say something like "I enjoy root rotting". If I simply posted that as your view on root rotting, it would exclude your opinion that root rotting in a group is bad. As you can see, your position isn't simply "I enjoy root rotting", it is "I enjoy root rotting in solo scenarios, not group scenarios".

This is entirely off-topic to the point I was litigating, but I have in fact made my position clear on root-rotting, both grouping and soloing:

It's also a lot more interesting to me. Root rotting is sitting around waiting for the mob to die, then sitting around waiting to med up. I'd rather be standing up and swinging a club.

Have a chuckle with me at this amusing coincidence!

Ah yes, I remember that thread[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I agree with you that root/rotting is less exciting than melee. It does produce good results, however, which is why people use it.

One of the reasons why I like Shadowknights is because they have a heavier focus on melee, while also having access to some nice Necro spells. It would be nice if the game balance was more in favor of melee instead of casters. But alas, here we are.

Not a chance. I need at least one more reply.

[Seducio]

Min/Maxing was figured out long before Green dropped.

This silly thread of opinion vs opinion is designed to never end.

If you get stuck in this thread realize you have better things to do with your time.

[Seducio]

If you notice DSM being stuck in any thread. He actually doesn't have anything else to do with his time.
