Certainly root-dotting is better than meleeing at that level assuming gear isn't super leet. I'd say slowing is unnecessary if you're root-dotting, and enstill is a better option than root because it lasts twice as long for twice the mana (so it's equally efficient per point of mana, and you can spend less time casting and dealing with root breaking); the exception to this would be if the root is breaking often due to the mob being relatively high level, in which case lower duration root is probably about as effective as enstill.

You are right about root/enstill as far as mana/duration, but I find at that level the guards are fairly resistant and with the dotting your breaking root quiet often. I was just trying to offer some suggestions that could help him with his mana issues.

Also the Slow is for the dog, you don't have to slow but if you are using dog to melee slow will keep the little guy alive, walking sleep is a cheap spell that lasts a long time. Experiment though I am sure you will figure it out.

Can someone walk me through how to get to the 2nd floor in CoM? Explain it to me like I'm 3 years old

I can't post screenshots from my phone nor do I have them so the easiest way of describing this is if you're both ivu'd and invis'd. Stacking the two allows you to get up top undetected by live and dead creatures (obv). If you only have one or none of those up, you will need to count on the temple group being on their game and killing everything as well as at least 1 person on the ramparts clearing so that you don't get jumped as you get up.

First you must go to the Temple camp in CoM. Go through the entrance to the temple and take a left. This will put you in a hallway that leads upstairs. Once you're upstairs, look to your right and you will see the banner hanging off the wall. With levitate on, float out of the room onto the banner. You'll know you're on it when you stop floating down. You're going to need to be super snug with the wall. The banner is situated underneath the room above as well as a section of the wall which is where you will be jumping to. You need to make your way along the banner until you're under the wall section. Once you're under it and snug with the wall, remove levitate and jump straight onto the wall.

You are now on the ramparts. Put lev up and float onto the roof of the arena. You can bind up there as nothing agroes or paths there - it's a great place to Afk.

*note* if you decide to do this without invis or invis versus undead then you are likely to cause a train due to warping mobs.

To the left and the right of the room atop the temple are two static golems. If you jump onto the banner you will agro them from below and they will path through the entire zone, including reavers, to get to you. This is why I said you need to make sure temple group has killed these. You will be casually be sitting there rotting mobs when 50 things burst through the door and fist-fuck you. It's easy to escape if you see it coming but you will likely have trained a few people in the process.

Secondly, the two undead that spawn in your jump-off room tend to warp if you pull them back into the ramp-hallway you just came from. It's okay to kill them BUT I've also agroed stuff from upstairs by doing that. Ymmv.

Good luck and happy hunting.

After 19, I've spent time in Kurn's, OT near the pond on the east wall, at P1/P2 in Oasis, and Crag Spiders in EK.
My personal experience has been that when 20 hits it is time to leave Kurn's, OT was alright but slow, and the Crag Spiders drop great Silk but they take most of my mana bar at 21.
P1/P2 in Oasis isn't too bad solo but it was best with a monk to duo while I rooted the deepwaters that were roaming to keep chain killing going.
I'll update if I try any other spots - 19-24 is a bit slow because the 19 spells don't do much to amp up your killing.

I haven't seen Rkelly on for nearly 2 weeks, needless to say the challenge has not been met.

If someone else wants to put in a leveling challenge following the guide that is nearing 56 I can release my; Final Chapter, "56-60 without moving a step*".

Can you clarify? Specifically the * does it imply you can move to loot the mobs?

Assuming that's the case, you are stating the exp is able to be gotten in a quick enough manner to eliminate any single spawns, long spawns, etc?

anthingin halas to hunt?

I have fun farming troll guards with me barby shm and wondering if the reverse is doable?

no sure which has higher zem, but I know oggok has better one that feerrott.....so i would assume halas has better exp than everfrost peaks.

obviously stay away from shm guild side ....2 lvl 60s(i think) at entrance of the guild.

Wanting to add in where I've been hunting on my ogre shaman.

Befallen is beyond great exp from probably lvl 6 onwards. Got to 22 on the bottom floor until finally almost everything was going LB. Moved onto U Guk, great solo or duo (if you can find someone good) exp. Shaman/Enc duo I was doing for a bit was insane exp.

Hoping Guk will last me until around 29, then I'm not sure, maybe treants for a few levels. At 35 I'm going to attempt Kedge, I'll post how it goes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bump to the front page for all the new Shammies. Also I would warn anyone following the last part of this guide with current root resists changes you need to be extra careful.
