![]() Hey everyone. I am coming back to P99 after a little over a year break. I got on my shaman to root/rot some mobs on the 2nd level of CoM and realized quickly that root is completely worthless now.
Was there a change to root spells? Sorry I haven't looked over the patch notes for the past year, I figured it would be easier to ask here. I haven't tried using Enstill yet, would it be any better? I get Paralyzing Earth next level, hoping that is still a big game changer for my class as it was in the past (I was really looking forward to it)! Thanks guys.

![]() I did a search and found a post discussing how root was changed, and is much less effective now. Was this on red maybe? I just switched to using Enstill over root and it is much better, but there is definitely something changed with the standard root. I used to root/rot 4 darkblues at once in CoM with little to no trouble. I cant handle 3 now because of the coooooonstant root breaks.

![]() They did a lot of changes to magic resist a while ago, which affected roots a lot. Trying to park stuff was brutal for a while, even with MR debuffs. I don't think it's "much less effective now" though.
You used to root/rot 4 mobs with ROOT? That's nuts, given it only lasts 8 ticks at max. | ||

![]() I'm currently 47 Druid. My experience with root rotting over the past 2 weeks has pretty pretty terrible. I've never had a single root last to max duration.
In a few levels, at 49, I get Engulfing Roots. Has a 3 minute duration, which would literally change the game for me. Should I be excited, or should I not get my hopes up?

![]() Weird, my root will almost always last full duration. Are you trying to root high Blues?

![]() Root line of spells used to be very reliable and like never break. Within the last year there was a patch and now it breaks sometimes. Helps to be much higher level than your target.
