he has a point about oak sage man..its life is indeed only added in some situations..in all others it's just part of your meatshield..I pointed this out in my earlier post that in some matchups oak sage is better..
ofc comparing it's usefulness on a shaman and on a pure ele druid is futile..pure els use wolves more often..oak gives each wolf more life making for a better meatshield..
He should use it as I referred to it..use it vs certain builds where it is useful..use spirit of barbs aswel vs characters wiuth whirlwind..when you then do get hit by a hybrid assa for example use oak sage while being defensive to thus minimize the effects of dot..
the fact that he sais it sucks and should never be used is over the top ofc but sayig it's useless vs some builds isnt a false accusation..
Why wouldn't you use oak? If it means having 4k life before oak and having 6k+ with oak, I'd take the 6k life.
When you get shot by something that has a huge amount of damage...well, you don't get one shotted. I'm too tired atm to go through a number crunch / give examples / etc.
Point is that you should treat oak in the same way as cyclone armor or bone armor etc. etc.
To not use oak is just fail.
