<DIV>The new root spells have made all my dots effectively useless, but if I am patient enough, I bet I can kill any non-epic mob out there. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You see, mobs have a chance of breaking root when taking damage, so if Zindi and I use/stack dots, the mob gets 8+ chances per round to break root for minimal damage taken, which means root dotting is pointless (there goes half our damage spells out the window). However, if I stick to casting my big nukes, the mob only gets 1 chance per round to break root, which almost never happens and I am taking big chunks of his health off, regening my mana and am in no danger whatsoever, since I can reroot immediately as the now-snared mob tries to crawl to me in futality.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do not find this fun by the way, I find it stupid and boring. My protoflame on the other hand (when it could tank and taunt well), was in effect... just a fancy root spell and was a heck of a lot more fun and did not give me this level of power. IMHO, you made a huge mistake yanking the good proto and giving me these great roots back.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Kwoung on <span class=date_text>09-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:13 AM</span>

<DIV>Oh yeah, if you are going to leave this round of changes, please remove the dot component from my Fire/Ice debuff line of spells, so I can actually use it without breaking root everytime... as when I do get hit, I die almost instantly so letting mobs hit me is not an option IMHO.</DIV>
