If your idea of "fun" is easy-mode-send-your-pet-in-and-do-absolutely-nothing till 50 then yeah play a mage. It's almost as fun as WoW!

See, I always thought root rot was root, DoT, DoT, nuke, sit, med. Because let's be honest, 17hp/t isn't going to do much. Takes about 5 min to kill using this method. I'd be FM constantly.

now what im about to suggest to you is a bit controversial, however when done correctly it results in something so divine and so beautiful it brings a tear to your eye. INTRODUCING THE NEW SUPREME CLASS: maguid. A hybrid mage and druid. 1.5 parts mage 1 part druid.

When can Druid's start root rotting, and then when do they transition over to quad kiting? I seem to remember it was at 34, with new spells, that quad kiting got a lot better?

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: I love being a bard! :P

After swarm kiting 3-4 times successfully of 8-10 mobs, I died last night attempting to kite something like 10-15 willowisps, but I still love it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just gotta get a better rhythm for the hit range while you're turning, etc...

Yeah then I run into the issue where root breaks and oh shit I'm out of mana, dead. Or can't get root off.

Doesn't it work less and less each time you keep casting it on one mob?

Yes, 34 is when you can seriously consider quad kiting. With a clarity and a high manapool you can quad spectres at 34, just expect some downtime.

I was able to pick up nice big swarms of 20-25 a couple times on xp weekend, but only killed the entire pack once. The other times either a minor mistake killed me, or EQ simply poofed and I was staring at my desktop, which has only ever happened when I've had 20+ DoTed mobs in tow.

The one successful time was crazy xp though, and while it was probably just a critical error in the software that made the game crash those two times, I can't help but think it was really a GM screwing with me...

Well I just tried Root rotting and my DoT's keep breaking root.

Some mobs with higher MR are just a pain to root. If its not going to stick just kite.

There is a way to med and kite at the same time. i use the 4/2 plan. snare a mob, stack all your dots and run a bit away. Sit and Med for a few seconds (you need your window open so you can watch the mana tick. Mana regens ever 6 seconds and in a 2 check system) while your sitting, watch for your mana to tick up your normal med increment, wait for it to tick down one mana (the 2nd check) then get up and run for 4 seconds. Count to 4 in your head. then sit down, Count to 2 (or watch for both ticks) then get up and run for 4 more seconds. sit for 2 run for 4 sit for 2 run for 4. TADA you just kited while medding. To get it down you can sit for 3 seconds then run for 3 until you get the hang of it. sometimes the second "Check" can be off a bit. practice and you will get it.
