Ensnaring root issue

[Ranlron swiftsong]

So on my druid moolag baal i was soloing a giant in warslik woods dark blue con, and root was breaking with a single dot constantly, and even got resisted.


Is root supposed to break so easily under dots or just by itself? WIth how unstable it is, it makes soloing next to unmanageable fighting giants.

No, the DoTs you put on a mob have no effect on whether or not root breaks.

What level are you and which giants are you trying to kill? In my experience, you want to be casting on mobs no more than 85% of your level. So, if you are level 24 trying to solo a level 23 giant, you're going to have a lot of root breaks.

Also, which DoT were you using? The swarm line has a -MR modifier which makes it easy to land on higher level mobs, compared to other spells. This may explain why your dots are landing but your roots keep breaking.
