We have tested dozens of Vitality BD. When Shaman’s purpose is to provide RR rather than core attack skills, switching Shaman to other classes can usually shorten the average clear time of SR by 10%-20%. Before questioning my experience, could you please show me your speed run time?
Vit Sentinel can clear SR 36-37 in 4:30.
Vit Apostate can clear SR 36-37 in sub 4 min. Inquisitor has no vit RR.
Vit Defiler can clear SR 36-37 in sub 4 min. Demolitionist has no vit RR.
Vit Veilwalker can clear SR 36-37 in sub 4 min before the nerf in v1.3.1. Berserker has no vit support and vit RR.
Vit DK can clear SR 36-37 in sub 4 min with Cadence, the frequently criticized skill. Soldier has no vit RR.
Where is your op vit Shaman and his swarm?
Is this the unanimous view of all your Praetorian? If that’s the case, no wonder FoA’s balance is so poor.
Shaman actually is the bottom vit class. You can take a look at the top 20 builds in v1.2.1.6. For Demonslayer Vit PB, we recommends Reaper, Dervish and Witch Hunter, but not Trickster. For Blightlord Vit DE, we recommends Oppressor, but not Ritualist. For Vit Spam Sigil, Shaman/Conjurer gets support from Dark One set, but is not better than Oathkeeper/Sentinel with no gear supporting.
Please don’t just look at the numerical values on paper. As long as you play more builds and cost more time in SR or Crucible, you would never come to the conclusion that swarm is a op skill.
