Root rotting sucks

Op didn't know root duration is random

Shaman epic takes 9 sec to cast and lasts 90 seconds. That’s 10 mobs. Technically it’s probably like 6-7 at once when you factor in root/switching targets/canni/etc. Realistically most shamans will root rot around 4-5 mobs tops. So attempting 20 is just a huge waste of time.

You should not be having issues root rotting Droga mobs on a 60 shaman, regardless of how many

Shaman isnt an amazing green farmer. I would much much much prefer to be on a monk or ranger for it. Consider duoing with a melee?

Monk is definitely good in droga. My 60 Monk with Fungi + IFS can easily kill them without any downtime. A 2 hander definitely required in Droga because of all the Damage shields.

Ranger’s decent regen, decent ds, passable mitigation and terrible avoidance really comes in to its own for killing a bunch of greens.

They hit you, they get hurt, you out-heal it. Grab a pbaoe proc if you’re worried about allocating a hit to each mob before ds bests you to it.

Only issue with Ranger is that there not that many good 2 handers for them. IFS on the monk is such a great 2 hander for price. Plus the epic is 1 handed with worn haste. Ranger would not be the best option IMO.

Edit: Although, I suppose the one good thing is that Ranger can get the Sky cloak, so the dispells can't remove the haste, but Monk epic is still better.

Woodsmans Staff would like a word.

Root rotting more than 6 with shaman epic is a bad time. It takes 1min 30 (duration of epic click) to re-root and re-click epic on 6 mobs.

So if you are ONLY casting root and shaman epic, you can do 6 mobs before the first Curse of the Spirits wears off (and giving yourself very minimal time to cannibalize between casts)
