Having issues with druid since i hit level 24

The 1.4 min is the max time ensnaring roots will last at 24. Roots can break immediately or any time within their duration period.

When charming I prefer grasping roots to save mana. Lowest level charm plus lowest level root, as long as they can land it's all good. I was using grasping roots in my 50s for the mana efficiency and quick cast time.

For what it's worth, I remember having difficult times with mammoths around those levels. Sometimes it was great, other times I felt like it was blowing up in my face.
