if you are 163 fcr its pretty easy to stomp/transform/sw, it works while using hurri best since swirls + hurri insta stuns and they cant escape
although i'd only recommend stomping/shockwave against non block chars
i guess if you aren't using hurri, it's easier to escape after afew sw's with wsg.. a good cano will also help alot ;-))
it takes 30 frames of teleport->shapeshift->action frame of shockwave. If its easy to land that, its easy to land a tele-impale 0% ias war pike zon
Theres that big problem where the stun debuff can't kick in unless you land the whole combo, so it can't help set it up. Hurricane certainly isn't going to FHR anyone on its own. Maybe D/A/E zons, thats it.
the biggest openings you can give yourself are that volcano block animation, or bear smiting someone with normal FHR or knockback FHR, but even then you'll only buy yourself ~5-7 extra frames against most builds, enough time to land a bear swipe, not enough time to shapeshift and cast shockwave. And those openings are exactly what the shaman is built around, so it begs the question of what the pure summoner is doing better. If ur casting volcano, it might as well do real damage so you aren't reliant on one trick

i forgot to factor in deadly strike with widowmaker so there's a chance of 4k unblockable damage
And reliant on one trick is exactly what I'd call a summoner trying to kill people with 10 fpa 750 damage guided arrows, because neither 5% ctc amp nor 48% ds nor any amount of ranged open wounds and especially not "demon limb prebuff on guided arrow just for the fire damage" will make that any bit relevant. When you're plopping away at a 75/50 paladin and dealing an average 90 HP per arrow, you aren't even annoying him. You're totally reliant on your bear to do anything, might as well stockpile those rancid gas potions beyond that or get a harmony bow and try to kill people with 20 urdar revives via crushing blow
