Default How useful is Jaundiced Bone Bracer?

Favorite race is Iksar, and I'd love an Iksar shaman.

Thing is, they can't wear the JBB, and I'm told having it is immensely helpful.

Purpose of this thread is to find out what the Shaman experts believe about this item.

What can you do with it that you can't do without it?

It's great from 45-50, then less so when you can click epic. Still useful to get to 60 but it's mostly worthless in Velious with more cold resistant mobs and higher mob HP.

Useful, but doesn't give you some ability to kill stuff you don't already have as a shaman. It will just take more time without it, but without it you can root/rot and med when you would be in the middle of a click cast. Also, not using JBB means fewer broken roots, and less tanking to do.

*Assuming your mob doesn't resist it.

Canni/Torpor/Bane or Pox is probably more efficient expenditure of time once you get Canni IV.

Playing Shaman without JBB is far from the end of the world. If you like Iksar and don't want to roll another race don't worry about it too much.

A friend of mine actually rerolled a level 40 iksar shaman to play as an ogre, in no small part because of the JBB.

She never got a JBB.

She regularly wishes she had dat regen tho.

I'm debating rolling a troll sham as my next char.

I still use it at 60 depending on what I am fighting.

It is useful in such a scenario: mob is very high lvl (58+) and hits hard enough that you have to have torpor on all of the time or nearly all of the time. Because of the mob's high lvl, it is also very resistant even with malo. Therefore a bane of nife might be resisted 50% of the time.
Also note that such high lvl mobs have a lot of hp, so you need to mana to keep your health up over the long fight and eventually for reslow(s).
In such a case, I would have a hasted pet, epic dot, and alternate a chain of jbb/canni until either torpor or epic or slow need refreshing.

The idea in the end is that all of your mana goes toward slowing mob and healing yourself while all of your dps is free.

I've made it to 57, almost all solo, without one. Even now, I'd rather save plat for spells then get a JBB. I'll get one eventually, but it isn't a priority.
