duststorm strategy?

[Treve]

<DIV>i just got this spell...i don't see a strategy when to use it...can someone tell me the circumstances when you use it?</DIV>

<P>Good for situations when you know you're going to get a big pull, or pulling a named.  It increases the groups avoidance by a fair margin.  Also good if you get a bad pull with lots of mobs.</P> <P>And as long as it's not an epic encounter then knockback with stun rocks.</P> <P>Just play with it, and you will notice a big difference when you have it up rather than not.</P>

It's a PITA when moving around in groups, but I keep it up as often as is possible.  It will be down sometimes because of the long recast time, but basically put it up then take it down when you need to move and recast when possible.  It is a very large DPS reducer, so use it as often as you can. <div></div>

its about the best spell that the Warden has and Im suprised that Lockeye hasnt crippled it further in his one man war on the Wardens. If you think that the incoming mob is going to hurt badly, get it down.  With your severely reduced healing ability, its the only spell that doesnt make the Warden 100% completely useless in the game.  The knockdown on it helps the tank reduce the HP taken, and when his avoidance goes it, it really does help.  The rooting of the caster, thats a pain as I often find that the tank decides to run around, leaving the AE on it - his own fault.  (You can only tell them so many times <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )  The rooting is bad when the mob comes for you and you cant do the normal Warden thing - run away <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Put this spell at the top of your list, its a good one.  Get it upgraded to Adept III as soon as you can. <div></div>
