Why do you respond to literally every person by ignoring what they say and inserting some strawman statement?
I am not doing that at all. You simply keep claiming "straw man" at everything you disagree with because it's easy. You need to learn what fallacies are.

If you pull 5 MOBs, splitting them up with Root is great. It doesn't matter if you *could* beat them without Rooting, the fact is you will save FAR more mana by using root, as you won't need to heal all that extra damage. The aggro management function of Root (force the MOB to always hit your tank) is also very powerful.
If you can pull 5 mobs, have them beat on you, and nothing bad happens, the encounter is easy.

Wrong, you can split many difficult camps and handle difficult adds with Root, or use the Root + camp method to move through areas. The more roots in your party, the easier it becomes too. Coordinate everyone casting root at the same time on different targets to split a dense camp.
If you can pull X mobs, have them beat on you, and nothing bad happens, the encounter is easy. If you can kite the mobs around while waiting for root to land, the encounter is easy. If you can root camp a mob consistently due to it having low resists, the encounter is easy.

Lull is rarely needed to split a camp. It might make things a degree easier, but rarely is it *needed*. More for dungeon soloing than other modes of gameplay.
Sure, most camps in EQ are indeed easy. Lull is there for the camps that matter, and is superior to root when the encounters are not so easy. Otherwise they can both be used for the same purpose just fine.

Again, I think both spells are great. You are the one who thinks lull isn't great, which is strange.
