Few druid questions

Maybe you are bugged with run speed, since with SoW on and snare I've never had any issues with getting hit. Unless I time a cast wrong, you shouldn't be getting hit all too often. (By timing I mean just run out of cast range, then cast right as the mob enters cast range.)

I will agree however, charming is a great way to go on this server. I think it opens up even more come kunark (animal MR debuff I believe).

If your snare resists you WILL be getting hit before the next one lands, even with SoW.

Not true.

I full-speed quad kited mobs before 29 as a wizard (since wizards get AoE snare then) and was able to cast Pillar of Lightning, which has a casting time of 3.6, and not get hit a vast majority of the time. I'd assume about 3.6 seconds is the threshhold, since I always cut it really close.

If you run far enough out of range of the mob while it's chasing you, you shouldn't have a problem re-applying snare without getting hit.

This. The only time I ever had problems with resists and being hit was in areas were I didn't have much room to work in. But since all my kiting was done outdoors, this was hardly ever an issue.

Hell I remember doing Hill Giants at lvl 26. Granted it was slow as hell (10 minutes to kill 1 about), but I never had a HP problem, only a mana problem.

Granted you will get smacked once or twice, it will happen. That is what your regen/heal is for [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also going to agree with Alawen and reroll and dump all your points into +cha. I made the mistake of not doing this way back when, and it does hurt. It's not too hard to get full cha, but it's a ton easier to get wis.
