Use blind, far more uptime on mana, same effect as root - The Shaladin

This can be risky. If the mob gets out of melee range of both players it will start running.

Also, I don't think blinding repeatedly would be cheaper, unless I am misunderstanding.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Flash_of_Light - 12 mana for 2 ticks.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Root - 30 mana for 8 ticks.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Blinding_Luminance - 50 mana for 4 ticks.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Enstill - 60 mana for 16 ticks.

Blind doesn't have the chance to break early, and it generates more hate. But I don't think that will make up for having to cast blind 4x to maintain blind for the same duration as root. In both cases you are spending significantly more mana.

Root is also reduced a bit via Alteration Specialization, where blind is Divination.
