Each snare and root cast will do about 350 damage. And every 30 seconds you can get an easy stun + siphon off for a bonus 1700 damage. If your snare or root gets resisted, never fear! As long as snare is on, you can get far enough away to root it. And as long as root is on you can get far enough away to snare it. If you're running into trouble and you see your root and snare break and the mob comes charging at you, cast fear then snare then root. Then get back into the cycle again.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I got about .5% for killing one lvl 58 ^^^ cyclops in PoF. No vitality. No debt.</DIV>

[Romka]

You can use siphon life each round. Of course its not 100% safe, but chances that root and snare will drop same time and there wont be fear proc from root are close to zero. Anyway, thats how im doing ^^^ mobs: root-snare-SL chain. With Lich of course. During all fight mob will hit you maybe 1-2 times max. With this strat im doing ~150dps on mob, ^^^ mobs have 20-25k hp, so its 2-3 min per kill. <div></div>

[Calib]

can you explain how you have effective rooting?  I'm lvl 41 have the adept1 for grasping bones, chains of torment. and they just arent very effective unlike my wizards root. The darkness line and Terror line are cool, but like the roots very very short in duration. Do they become more effective at higher levels? <div></div>

[Uanelven]

I have adept III Lich and it doesn't proc for that much.  Can't remember exactly but i think 280-something.   What's the deal?   Int? <div></div>

[MrGrimm9]

Yes, your int plays a part in your damage that lich does. As well as all your other damaging spells, but it does not affecting the healing of your pet heals or your lich heal.

<P>well I've been resisting posting this method since I fear the nerf coming but yes it works well. I solo most anything blue and have soloed whites, but they resist our root more.

where does everyone solo at like some specific locations.  would i have what i think are decent spots but someone said they are getting 10% leisurely grinding solo and that seems high too me.  also what con mobs would you suggest blue/white or white/yellow and above? <div></div>

[Fierce Ra]

Just to give you an idea of how important intelligence is to us.  I am level 51 and my Lich does 300 damage every proc when my Imbued ruby ring is on.  Without the intelligence buff of 14  I lose 5 points of damage just on the Lich proc alone.  So if want to do more damage go after intelligence gear and upgrade your intelligence buff to the highest you can get them.  Too bad our Mark line of spells don't give an added boost to intelligence instead of wisdom or stamina.
