I'd be really interested in hearing about your experiences trying this strategy. Say, any XP or loot groups with someone charming, and with you spending the majority of your time root rotting. What zones and groups have you had success with it?

Oh sure, I've done it in Seb and Velks groups before. It's no different from root rotting solo in those zones. Just root rot while the Enchanters are churning away. They can target the DoTed mobs if you need to move your camp or just need to clean up. It is already a common
group strategy to simply root mobs away from the group for CC purposes. It's not a large leap to apply DoTs to those mobs. For casters it just depends on your resists. I have raid gear, so I can just resist tank the casters safely. The Enchanters don't really need to mes to stop casting. I am referring to Seb mobs for the casters, obviously different zones can have stronger casters.

The issue with this thread is a lot of people claiming it doesn't work keep switching between loot and xp groups to try and keep it unclear as to what they were talking about. They know they can't win the argument if you pin them down on the type of group.

Obviously root rotting doesn't work when you are just camping a single loot mob like Fungi King. But the point they don't want to hear is if all you are doing is killing a single mob every 30 minutes, an extra 50 DPS is irrelevant. It takes 90 seconds to kill Fungi King at 200 DPS, vs. 72 seconds with 250 DPS. Theres no point in bringing a Mage for an 18 second saving every 30 minutes.

Some Fungi King groups xp at the same time while waiting for respawn, but that still doesn't need extra dps. I've done both styles of Fungi King group before. Shaman is a popular class at that camp.
