It's one thing to want to rant about a mechanic you don't like. It's something else to bitch when people are trying to offer advice to help you not die as a shaman in an outdoor zone on blue server fighting blue cons.

I know how to play everquest thanks to anyone who has given any genuine advice though. I've spent a lot of time reading and learning through experience. I apologize if my reply to being told something I already know comes off as rude.

also it is easy to say what to do. It's another thing to be in the actual situation.

[Tecmos Deception]

Not trying to be rude, but yeah, when a sham dies to blue cons outdoors it makes people wonder if the sham really knows how to play.

At the risk of offering you more advice that you already know, did you start the fight at fm/fhp? And again, were you using dots with a DD component that may have been adding to your root break troubles?

[Tecmos Deception]

Actually NM, I guess all sham its but the epic click have a DD component. All the more reason to use root (but surely you knew that) instead of enstill and to keep distance before casting a dot (not that I need to say it) and to not fuck with mobs that are barely blue (I can't help myself RNFRNFRNF).

I publicly admitted defeat because the server fucked me over. I don't think this deems me as a bad player.

I was looking to do something different, look at new pixels. Explore a little and have some fun.

I'm not trying to power level to 60 and be the best shaman on the server.

Thank you RnF crew for derailing the topic. Enjoy the rest of whatever this becomes. I admit defeat on this topic. By the logic of RnF I must not know how to forum quest. Good Day.

Have you considered red?

That's because the advice isn't really answering his question - he wants to know why Enstill sucks shit, if there's something he doesn't know about those mobs or the spell line in general.

Not useless shit like "go fight lower level mobs idiot"

The answer is Enstill sucks shit as do most of the higher level root spells and you're generally better off sticking with Root because it's cheap.. Every once in a blue moon Enstill lasts long enough to justify its cost.

Also those mosquitos have higher MR than normal IIRC and just like to break root a lot.

[Tecmos Deception]

Yeah. Not having sow up was the server fucking you over.

[Tecmos Deception]

Like I said, its fine to rant above bad luck. But you're not just doing that, you're also acting like you couldn't have changed anything to avoid what happened, even though you could have done at least a few things differently/better.
