DoT kiting nerfed?

[Balamar]

Thank you for the responses. I did not realize they did this in live. I am sure this is mostly due to the fact that I played a mage my EQ career.

Thanks.

If the mob in question is a challenge for you (high enough to resist a few spells) then you are better off kiting even with the reduced damage. It is faster but takes more mana to root-rot and if the mob is not staying rooted you can get in serious trouble real quick - since you can't have it snared while rooting, you need to be prepared to run and get distance at any moment.
