Velious Paladin Spell Load

[pharmakos]

there's barely a difference between FoL and Root. Root does indeed cost more mana, but not by a hell of a lot. both cause the mob to follow the same agro rules while the spell is in effect -- either way the mob just attacks the closest PC on its agro list. but FoL you have no choice but to stand next to the mob until the effect wears off. Root allows you to freely move around without worrying about blind mobs running around and causing adds.

i suppose the deciding factor might be the amount of agro the spell generates. both will generate agro as well as causing the mob to attack the closest PC. i just don't know which one produces more agro.
