What does aoe m4, has anything to do with shaman for ranked ?? I don't understandTelen wrote: Wed May 13, 2020 5:05 pmdps means damage per second. How much damage you can get into a timestamp between heals, guard strip or healer silence/stun. Shaman it is low. Thats what kills. Scoreboards are very bad basis for judging efficient damage. You can put 50k damage and kill no one or 7k and kill someone its all about the time it takes. If it was all about damage changing Magus would be #1 dps by a long margin so why do they mostly play havoc. dps.thedonkeykong332 wrote: Wed May 13, 2020 4:21 pm How can you have low dps if you top damage charts?
When I said top I meant I'm number #1 most of the times.
even if you have a spell that does 300k damage after 6 mins only, you still rock the dps chart because u dealt 300k damage in a sec brah. lets say we divide 300k / 360 = 833 dps, but i'm going out of context here since there isn't such spell in ROR.
shaman dps = sustainable damage from dots + brain busta bunch of waaagh burst with tactic = amazing damage. whether you are being super focused in a ranked match, you still deal damage, if you have space your damage is doubled simple.
Also Shaman have no damage morale but aoe t4. Thats a massive problem for finishing.

You go after people and put gork sez stop(M1), and do lots of burst + sustainable damage.
Or you can suck ap with your ap drain ability, and if you want situation aoe ap suck as well.
You can go the gork tree m4 for the 1.8k damage, knockback but its not worth a while saving for it.
and for the author of the topic you said dps shaman sucked, so I gave a good comment about why they don't suck in ranked, 6v6s situation.
and Telen and myself were having a civil discussion until this guy came talking out of his arse saying nonsense, so I gave him a simple answer and he took it personally lols.
The reason why I'm doing all of this, because there is a certain hate for dps shaman for no reason at all, a lot of mi spread information, and clueless hate, like yourself btw author. and I'm playing a shaman, so I'm tired of seeing this, BS sorry. there are situations where shamans shine and when they don't this ain't one of the moment they don't.
Shaman dps = burst+sustain
Sustain = dots
Burst = brain busta + bunch of waaagh with gork tactic.
Having knockback 2 detauns (aoe + single), heal debuff,30% movement tactic, and silence = extremely strong & viable.
Obviously good gear is required.
I am all for good discussions but when BS spreads then let the lols begin ^_^.
