Root advice..

[Solba]

<DIV>Trying to solo Orcs in Zek is proving somewhat hard! :smileysurprised:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My root, Frozen Manacles, already on blue, gets resisted way too much, and I am toasted in melee! :smileywink:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I looked up the Wiz skills, and it seems we don't get another true in the 30's at all?? We get Tether at level 33, but the description says it breaks on recieving damage! eh? So I root, and then nuke, and the Tether breaks?</DIV> <DIV>Any level 33+ Wizzes out there that can please  tell me how they work a solo encounter once Manacles becomes grey ? :smileyhappy:</DIV>

<DIV>teather breaks, but then a new root roots for another few seconds..the main root i use is the AE root.. holds really well..then ill use teather to reapply. forgot what lvl you get the AE root at thought.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but soloing isnt much of an option though.</DIV>

<DIV>I think you get your AE Root at 41 or 41.6... if i remember correctly.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My roots get resisted allot, but thats because i havent maxed my skill in it. So, its my own fault really <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

The description is wrong for Tether, and i'm not sure if they meant the text to be wrong or for the spell to be wrong. But Tether roots for me like Frozen Manacles (Adept III) does, only better. Unfortunatley to prove it (why i bother..) i had to record myself in several encounters while using Tether as main root, then 3 DoT's + HO iniated before it breaks. Video is 200 megs down from 800 lol, i don't know how to make it smaller. But uhh, tether roots. :smileytongue:

<DIV>no, the root is correct..it breaks, and then a shorter root is put into place..after you hit it, theres like 3 or 4 seconds hang time, but its always the same..then it coms after you.</DIV>

<DIV>Ok i can't argue with that. I'll hafta re-evaluate my soloing methods, perhaps i can be even more effective. Maybe i can solo ^ ^ greens if i use my manacles more often. It's embarrasing having to solo only white/yellow/orange singles all the time. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edit: "but its always the same..then it coms after you." That would explain why i have no problems getting all my DoT's plus the HO advanced just before the target comes after me. It's always so smooth and predictable lol, it makes sense now.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Kilferf 'Uhn on <span class=date_text>02-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:33 AM</span>
