More idiotic strawmans. I know perfectly well. Stop acting like you are smarter or more experienced. You aren't. You're just burying your head in the sand. Classic low rank fool who is scared of thinking there is something wrong with their play, so they don't improve it and stay hard stuck at a lower rank. Quote:

Even IF you want to be using Malo at the start of the fight, then you should STILL be casting Malosini after it, as that's 200 mana and more impact as compared to 350 to recast Malo. You especially need to be using it when you're also weaving the poison DoT into fights. Your failure to do so is yet another thing you did wrong in your sad video where you act like you played correctly and proved something (you didn't). Quote:

I have no problem with criticism. I would love to learn something from you. The problem is you are simply responding to this thread because you are mad, not because you have worthwhile information. You just have some weird urge to try and prove me wrong in any way you can, but are failing miserably and showing how inexperienced you are. Quote:

Malo is the best spell for this fight. I haven't seen a significant difference in resists between Malo and Malosini on WW Dragons, even 6+ Dragons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPxeOVuX0G8 . The resist chance numbers you are throwing around for these fights are wrong. Quote:
As for your taking damage while Maloing comment, you do know that WW Dragons AoE right? If I was kiting the dragon trying to land Malosini, I would also be taking damage and getting dispelled. Quote:
I also already disproved your idea that you can "weave" Bane into the fight. It costs too much mana to maintain both Pox and Bane consistently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD-PCJ4tCII Quote:
Show us a video of how fast you can kill WW Dragons. I am waiting.

If you're using the disease damage spell then I assume you're also using insidious decay so that's another step worth of sitting-spell swapping--casting and a little more mana use.
The difference in resist rate between malo and malosini on the nest 4's is minimal. The wife uses malo just because it'll definitely land and she's critically allergic to math, but it works fine. On the occasions I'd had her try using malosini I can't say we noticed any great difference beyond it occasionally resisting the first try....that's the kind of thing you're going to need to do a lot of parsing to identify the true value. Those 4's aren't really hard enough to be a good litmus test. Quite often on those 4's the wife slows first, THEN malo's...and truth be told usually it lands anyway. Neordla is enough of a jerk (tougher than ayillish in my experience, in spite of the on-paper stats looking similar) that malosini is preferred, although typically only after doing malo first. | ||

Did a video using Zuranthium's suggestions, and it played out exactly as I have been describing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Pro4F0B0I
My pet is pre-parked with haste. The first issue that occurred while making this video is I was blind-sided by multiple mobs as I was cresting the cliff due to not being invisible, and had to gate. More time was wasted than saved due to the lack of invisibility. You can see the Wyvern Huntress attacks in the chat box at the beginning of the video. The reason why this happens is because objects do not block agro line of sight in outdoor zones. The video shows the reduced visibility that occurs during snowing, and it nicely showcases one of the pathers that can come close to Hechaeva. Luckily it was an Ice Burrower this time, so it won't agro when I pull Hechaeva. It isn't always an Ice Burrower, and if it is a 4+ Dragon you have to wait until it leaves the area. Malosini was resisted twice before landing, so I didn't "save mana" by not using Malo. I also used Insidious Malady instead of Decay since that is the same principle, and it was resisted once. Total time saved was 3 minutes. The only reason why the last half of the video is shorter is because I got lucky and Hechaeva ran on to land rather than into the sea. This means I can kill her faster because I can re-apply my DoTs without getting line of sight blocked by the water. I have another video that is 16 minutes long showing how to kill Hechaeva faster by rooting her instead of letting her run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLhe3KQXke0&t=0s This reinforces the 3 minutes saved compared to my normal strategy, because both were sped up by using spells in the last 20% of her life bar. When killing WW Dragons for an hour or two, 3 minutes each will not give you enough time back to make another kill when taking into account recovery, running into position, pulling, etc. The riskier nature of this strategy also cost me more than 3 minutes in having to gate and run back. This is the problem Zuranthium, you are simply thinking in terms of saving time on the kill, without thinking through anything else. As I said earlier in this thread, I could indeed shave a minute or two if I tried harder (these videos are not me trying hard at all), but in the end of the day it's a wash due to other factors. Consistency (Getting 3 kills an hour for example) is better than higher risk strategies that end up losing you a full kill due to bad luck. The other thing you probably don't realize is my Shaman is fully raid geared. So it's a bit easier for me to attempt a riskier strategy, as I have more methods of reducing incoming damage (higher AC and Resists). Another reason why I prefer my safer strategy when making videos is because other Shamans will probably not have my level of gear. I would rather show a safer and more consistent strategy in my videos that is easier to use for lesser geared Shamans.

And yet you are STILL wrong. If you are in a long fight where Malosini changes the chance of being resisted from 5% to 0%, then it is correct to use it, as stopping even one resist in the whole fight is a net benefit. Quote:

Your video once again only shows you playing suboptimally. You aren't using Torpor properly, it should be up perma to maintain the engine. You are also dancing around like a clown at the start of the fight. You pull incorrectly as well, why are you constantly spinning around looking at the Dragon to cast? You need to keep your back to them and immediately run forward after casting. You took extra damage for no reason. Quote:
