Shaman slow Tagar vs Torgor vs Turgur

[Troxx]

In 60 levels I can’t think of any practical, level appropriate situation where I wish I had Tigirs loaded. Low duration lower percentage slow where you now have 3-4 mobs now beating on you and not the tank.

In a multi sutuation without mez I’d rather pop a real slow on one extra at a time and then root park it quickly before moving on ... or root one have tank back up root again etc until all are cc’d and slowed.

In my entire Shaman career I think the only time I've used it was when I had to pull a room full of mobs, like when I had to pull one of the adjoining rooms to basement in HS. I think I've also maybe used it once for a quest that spawns a bunch of mobs (eg. like many of the ring quests, although I don't think I used Tigir's for them specifically).

As others said, most of the time when it might be useful you don't have it memmed. The times when you know you'll need tend to be times when using it would be a bad idea: I often died trying to pull four (five?) mobs at once with Tigir's in HS basement, and for most quests if you use Tigir's you'll also agro some quest mob you're trying to protect.

Just like our AoE rain line I wish Tigir's had a good use, but I have yet to find it.

Togor gets resisted quite often while Turgurs does not.

If you are killing fast enough that Togor's isnt falling off and you aren't 60 with Fungi and Torpor use it over Turgurs. If you have Fungi and Torpor you will probably always use Turgur's, just because its up by default. If you are getting enough resists that you have to use Malo I would switch to Togor's, unless again mob isn't dying before slow wears off. If mob cannot be killed before slow wears off and your using Malo line you might as well use Turgur's to prevent fizzle/resist/untimely wear-off. If it is a raid mob you are probably always using Turgur's as other classes at the raid will have the smaller slows down, IE rangers/chanters/necro/warrior's and others. Shaman is about being efficient for the situation so they all are different, but you should be considerate of how much mana total you spend per mob and see if there are ways to reduce that.

They get resisted at an equal rate. Neither has a -MR component.

There's one time that I ended up using Tigirs a good bit. Trio with a Chanter/Cleric. Get the Kobold Champ from the upper camps in Velks as a pet. Bring him back to spiders. Train all the spiders you can get to the top ledge of velks were you have some room to move. Have the chanter aoe stun/mez everything then you slow everything with Tigirs. Then start making a conga line of rooted mobs. After you have some separated start epic clicking as many of them as you can to get the damage started. Mulch through them with your champ, reapply slow en mass when it saves mana. Super fun to have 15 mobs going.
