thanks for that great guide! ad Master spells: As Zek provides Orcs from 30-40 and the Rujarkans in DoF are also Orcs there is also a good argument for choosing Orcs. ad: tactics: >>> With a group of 2 mobs, you plan is again simple.  Root one mob, and then stun the next one. Root the second mob and try to kill it quick.  After which, root the first one again and nuke it. <<< I would use the same tactic you described below: If available use a group root and then start to nuke. If the group breaks, apply the root again, single root is enough. ad the proposition not to use debuffs while soloing At lvl 51 with int around 275 I use Piercing icicles (adept 1) quite often to debuff and it breaks root very seldom, certainly not 50%. Actually it is difficult to judge what breaks root because after 4 secs the first other spells comes in and then every 2 secs another one. As root is re-applied so quickly and debuffs do increase dmg noticeably I think it is worth the trouble. To wait for ice comet to refresh seems a bit lazy or too much security oriented. With BoIn, Flamestrike, Paralyze you can dish out a lot of dmg and root (both adept 1) holds astonishingly long. With the snare effect applied after a broken root there is always time to reapply root or stun and finish off. (and I still use frozen manacles to get away from a mob fast.)

Being a 44 wizzard I was think of the big nuke being BOF which has like a 9 sec recast which is very easy to wait for.  your right 45 secs is a bit crazy
