Hi eveyone,
I'm a 68 Shammy, and up until around 66-67 I always solo'd with my pet tanking with leopard, and me handling the slows, heals.
I read up on the aspect of root rotting, since in TSS and PoR zones, I have a heard time keeping the dog healed at times.
I started with the crowned mambas and timber lizards in The Steppes, and it went well, just seems slow going.
I have a Burning Affliction V aug, and will root with either VP2 (3 on the way), Greater Immobilize (fast casting) or Petrifying Earth (longer duration)
I have the dog up and ready to take a hit or two if needed.
I have been pulling with Balance of the Nihil, as I can generally take a hit or so and still get root off.
I pull the pet off after root sticks, and proceed to lay down the DoTs:
I use Bane, Blood of Saryn, Breath of Wunshi, Breath of Uthor, and Epic 1.0.
I keep all DoTs running, and keep the mob slowed / rooted.
I have about a 6k mana pool, 7k hps with Viction.
Is it normal for mobs to take 3-5 minutes to drop? I use damn near all my mana it seems. Is there something different I should be doing? Am I not using enough DoT's? Should i be using Bane of Nife and others that have initial DD?
I would like to root rot the Supply Runners in Relic, as they are even cons or so, plus I need them for my quest.
Any advice would be great!
[edit] - updated Magelo - it's still not 100%, as I have a few augs and such not in their database yet, but it's pretty close
