Could use some Druid help

[guineapig]

Couple other things. Later on your group wolf form will add a nice ATK boost to your party. If you are outdoors or in the Planes you should be using it. In groups your dots are generally not efficient but your nukes on the other hand are at least as good as mage nukes. On long fights use the insect line, nearly unresistable and low agro.

Until you can effectively and efficiently quad kite (which doesn't happen till you get your second targeted AoE lightning spell) kiting really isn't the most efficient way to solo. Root rot is usually the way to go. Use your lowest level root that will stick and meditate as much as you possibly can. There is absolutely no reason why you would have to kite a solo mob around when you have access to root.

I see druids doing it to solo hill giants and it makes no sense to me at all. Root rotting will usually net you an extra kill per mana pool (more if you are killing low HP mobs).

I defer to this...I was prolly doing it wrong, lol. Maybe I just did it so I didn't fall asleep at the keyboard...watching a giant slow-boat and then all of a sudden bust ballz towards ya is kinda fun. sorta. meh.

If someone wants to extend this / elaborate on certain parts that would be great.

Depends on the resistance of the mob. GrimFeather does not stay rooted long. I do agree that you should use your DoTs. But in classic there is no penalty for DoTing something moving. So stack up the insect line and run. Sit every 6 seconds and it's as good as root rotting.

You can melee until 20. Head to EK, skin up and cast your damage shield. Melee and cast nukes to finish them off while tanking. The damage shield will kill them fast. Bonus is you keep your defense maxed. Use Tree Form while medding, as it will quickly regen the health lost so you don't need to heal yourself.

Why EK in particular? I don't really think I can run there, since I hear kithicor is always night on this server, which seems quite dangerous. I'd kind of rather avoid asking for a port as well, since I don't have much cash and feel bad giving away some pathetic waste of time amount of money to whoever did it for me.

Maybe I'll give EC/WC a go, since crushbone isn't really working out anymore. Do greater lightstones sell decently, and are people actually buying them? I seem to remember pawning those off to humans quite a bit way back in the day while killing commonlands wisps.
