I love it, but sometimes Fetter is a pain in the ass. Everytime you want to move a mob that you previously fettered, it's pretty much guaranteed to last 3 full minutes without breaking even 1 second early.

Now that Taper Enchanment has been changed to only reduce the time left of an effect instead of completely eliminating it I need to mess around with it and Fetter duration. Would be nice if you could get an unwanted Fetter down to like 20 seconds so you could charm/whatever before the mob is charging at you.

So what about when you're rooting running rock golems in The Hole? As a sham, my instill is often resisted. Wouldn't "Root" always be resisted?

No, Root and Enstill have the same resist mod. The level you get access to the spell is irrelevant, only your current level matters.

This raises an interesting question, are resist more or less likely on the initial cast than the periodic early break checks?

Is it better to try stick an instil on a resistant mob and hope it lasts after it lands or use root and refresh each time it breaks early?

Why not Root before DoT ?

Because it is slowed and root last longer if its done last, you also don't have to hot key sending your pet in. Dude likes to be efficient.

Shaman DoT have a direct damage component which is liable to break a root.

Thanks !
