However, this goes back to the point I make in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kYEDUOoKU4 . For most spell caster mobs, you can just tank spells with high resistances. You can also use line of sight to avoid spell casting. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS3uoIHTu_c I can show an example of how to prevent mobs from gating by fighting them near their spawn point. The first mob I fight in this video is a pather. You cannot fight him at the end of his path, because he just gates. Instead, you can fight him near his spawn point, to prevent gating. So I completely agree that the CT necklace could have some limited uses in very specific scenarios, but it is pretty common to use the two tactics above to take out spell casting mobs. For CH mobs, if you have the runway to fear them, you can start blind kiting them before 40%, so fear is not really required there either.

Only Cazic Thule Shamans (Trolls/Iksars) can get the fear clickies for Animals and Undead. Most Shaman races (except Iksars) get Slam, which can do the trick if you are lucky. Shamans do get https://wiki.project1999.com/Charm_Animals , but that isn't very useful since it is for animals only, and you can only charm animals up to level 33 with this spell. I am not sure if there are even that many animals that do spell casting. Usually Shamans need to deal with spell casters directly. Using Line of Sight in dungeons and high resistances to tank spells are generally the best options. Your pet bashes, but that is extremely random, and not reliable at all to try and interrupt a specific spell. https://wiki.project1999.com/Blinding_Luminance you can use blind to do what is called Blind Kiting. Landing the blind won't interrupt a spell already being cast, but if the mob is not next to anything on it's hate list, it will run around just like a fear. This means they will not cast any more spells until the bind wears off, or something on their hate list becomes close to them. This strategy doesn't have a lot of areas where it is usable, since you need a decent runway for the mob to run, and for you to stay out of it's way. I did use this tactic in Cobalt Scar on the Sirens there, to prevent them from charming me. This was when I was around level 52.

No matter how experienced the main tank is, those are not related. If you don t want to eat rampage, don t pull and/or wait for others to engage before slowing/maloing.

For 6+ Dragons in a small group, you don't have the luxury to wait for the tank and dps to build agro before slowing and healing. The tank will die if you do that. Slows need to land ASAP to maximize the mana you save on future healing. Maybe a Warrior using discs could do it, but you don't always have a Warrior tanking.

I agree that Shamans in solo/duo/smallman situations generally want to slow stuff ASAP. I like telling the wife to cast as soon as she's in spell range and as quickly as cooldown permits. If your tank is a Paladin or Shadow Knight or similar high-hate class then that's no issue, but if you're running around with a Warrior or Monk or similar melee who generates less frontloaded threat then the Shaman's probably going to be getting hit.
