What are your favourite root rot targets?
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2006 7:04 pmI have been doing orcs in Elddar forest. They con anywhere from blue to yellow and are a pretty easy root rot. They give me about 10.5% AA exp a kill, 21 with double exp rolling. They take me 4-5 minutes to kill, but I'm still missing a couple of dots.
They also have a task associated with them, given by Arch Druid something or another. It involves looting 8 axes from the orcs (1 in 4 drop rate or so) and the head from a named. We did the named with me, a ranger, and a bard to pull. The reward was a ring. I will link it when I get home, can't remember the name right now. Might not be great for some, but was an upgrade for me.
The orcs that are casters have a pretty vicious dot. It is curable with AA cure, but is easier to just avoid. They seem to have a pretty short casting range, so if you stay at your max cast you don't get hit at all.
Zone is almost always completely empty as well, so you don't have to worry about people ganking your mobs. Just make sure to pull back out of the camp a ways because of roamers.
Need to finish up my dot crit AAs and I'm sure it will go even faster here.
edit: Here is the ring.
