There's a practical reason to do this even on p99. Lower level slows will do 80% of the job for 50% of the mana. I'll usually use tepid deeds in fast groups because 50% slow for 100 mana is good value while 70% slow is 225mana will tank your bar for little gain.
Longer roots are not worth casting either if you're going to nuke. I have both fetter and root on top of my spellbook for that reason.
Also, if you say it gets resisted more SHOW ME YOUR NUMBERS. People easily forget how much parroted folklore there was back then.
