Roots Breaking(Enstill)

My character is level 39,. my target was a level 37 soulsipper(mosquito).
I cast enstill 19 times(not all successful), the enstill broke 13 times. Many of these breaks happened within 2ticks of me successfully casting the spell.

This is the kind of crap that really makes me not want to play. Roots breaking one after another is utterly ridiculous. It seems like the game is totally broken in this manner. I'm not preaching against things being classic but this is just moronic.

Here is the snippit of my log with timestamps so you can see how fucked up it was.

Stopped reading after this. Kill mobs lower level, this is essentially an even con and enstill is kinda garbage.

Shoulda rooted it instead of letting it kill you.

True,.. I'm not 100% sure it was level 37,. I was told they're 35-37. So I presume the latter of those levels based on the breaks. Can I ask why Enstil is garbage? Is it really not a worthwhile spell?

Cute

All of the lower level roots are pretty garbage. Just something you've gotta deal with til you get the higher ones.

Necro paralyzing earth is great, reroll necro is the moral of this story [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would just find a monk to duo with tbh, plenty out there and the exp is great.

Tecmos Deception · #9 07-20-2015, 09:39 AM

We're you nuking? Or using a dot with a DD component up front? Doing so gives mobs an extra chance to break root.

That aside, a -2 level is too close to expect to keep it parked well unless maybe you've got tash AND malo on it.

Regarding its level, learn the max hits. You can identify the level of almost all NPCs by seeing what their max melee hit is.

yeah,. that's best case scenario as my character is a shaman. It's just difficult to find a monk during low pop that's near my level.
Went to EJ because I'm so sick of looking at OT. which proved to be a waste of time without a partner there helping. So i'm back in OT blowing through mobs. I don't mind sacrificing a little exp to look at different pixels. I'm not trying to power game my way to 60, trying to enjoy the ride.

I have a friend who plays a druid and he expresses to me how often his roots break. We don't have good root rng. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
