Shaman root rotting spots

[jarlerop]

So I got my epic a couple days ago, yay! Been slowtanking while JBBing my way up until this point, so root rotting is rather new to me.

Last night I tried root rotting 4 at a time, using only epic for damage, but had a hard time finding good spots for it. Tried CoM second floor, but root times were inconsistent at best. I'm level 53, so I guess it will be better in a couple of levels. So far Kelethin guards seems like good pp, but around 30% are green now.

Any suggestions for good spots for this at 53+?

Bonus question: Rotting singles using epic + poison or disease dot, is that very inefficient compared to rotting four at a time using only epic for damage?

It's the same problem for a lot of people at 53. All the old world stuff tends to green out and you have to hit Kunark (or Velious if you're not in a rush).

2nd floor CoM or the moat area if its quiet are good spots. Usually some shammies doing their thing in KC near the zone out or around the moat...also worth a look, or going up on the ramparts above LCY/RCY.

Lower Guk in places?

Not been in Chardok since the revamp, anyone know if that's worth a look now for soloists?

You need to root, Malo, then re-root in order for root to be consistent.

CoM from 52-56 was insane exp w/ epic. You just gotta find the flow. Id recommend giving it another shot. Just take it slow until you get comfortable to take on 4.

Or go to OOT and piss off the necros, decent exp and money if you can deal with highly contested mobs.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, maybe I need to hit CoM again. It is a little pain being a troll tho as i need a shrink pot or wolf form to levi up there.
Was planning to try sol b last night, but as i entered i got into a freeti group so didnt get a chance to try bnb.

Giant fort in burning woods, half the time I'd root rot (malo, root, spear click, etc) half the time I'd duo with a necro (phenomenal synergy) made it to 56 easily there, got paralyzing earth (no more need for malo), Level 3 CoM till 58, then HS to 60.

Tried bear pits but usually was too crowded with druids.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.

Awesome, will try BW fort as well. Takes some getting used to this root rotting.
How do you deal with adds btw? That usually messes up re-rooting and re-dotting for me. IE: have three rooted and dotted. Get an add and start rooting/dotting and the root on the next in line breaks, messing up everything. Guess this is just something i have to get better at. Do you just root the add and dot it the next time you have some slack?

[HalasHermit]

Yeah if I have 3 with the re-dot/root cycle about to start and a 4th one comes in I'll park it and add it to the end of the cycle.

It gets way better at 56 when your root spell lasts 2 full epic clicks with a few seconds of wiggle room.

The real fun to look forward to is breaking rooms in HS that have 3 or 4 skeletons that HT :)

best spot to go from 57-60 for a shaman is Efreeti trash. IMO

yea

pull 3, root, step back, root step back, root step back, malo malo malo, dot dot dot... ADD! Root add, step back, malo,

Dot, root. root. root. root. Med

Dot, Dot, Dot, Dot. Med

Dot, root. Dot, root. Dot, root. Dot, root. Med

Pull more.

Profit.

So I tried BW giant fort last night only to find it camped by a duo once I got there. So I headed to SolB and did BnB some. This was great exp, and I usually had 3-4 mobs rooted. Also saw guano harvester twice but I already had the bag :/ Lesson learned!
Will try giant fort again tonight, but will make shure to do a who all and ask if its camped first :)

Solb will get you to 60+

Just do BnB at the zoneline to SolA for safety.. then the LDCs, then move towards efreeti trash as you level up then do freeti trash till 60 then do freeti/tranix and feel like a real life firegiant.

Sol B is awesome. Im clearing almost the entire BnB before repops. Got 54 last night, and I've read thats when some bats start to go green. Guess i will just grind through 54 as well on BnB and maybe a little LDC in between. Guess I'll try efreeti trash at 56 when I get the new root.
