DD on bows

Really sucks if you're a ranger. They break root too often for my taste. I'd rather see a bow with a 50 point DoT than a 50 point DD. That way I don't have to burn my mana rooting the mob to plink away on 'em.

Whatever the merits of this bow it is currently unequipable by a 54 Ranger. Bought one a day or two ago and cant use it.

Got usual you cannot equip message. Have to wait for that bug to be fixed.

The bow has a required level of 55 now. They probably had the item flagged like that before they changed the recommended/required level information line in the item ID box

Gonna be blunt here cause i get sick of retards. Every tick of a DoT gives the mob a chance to break root. so stop being ignorant and go learn some **** b4 posting.

Never had a mob break root from a DoT, ever.

I use the tactic of snare, root, stack up DoTs, and plink to soften the mobs up. Repeat until close to last bub, a nuke to break root and get them running, then come in and finish them off with little or no loss of HP.

That's my Stragety for non-fear kite mobs when I solo.

Also never heard that DoT breaks root. The only thing i know, maybe not everyone knows is, that if you put a very strong DoT (no Ranger DoT for sure hehe) on a mob you have a chance to get aggro from that. Thats all i know *shrug

dot's don't break root in and of themselves unless they have a dd component ex: envenomed bolt.

and yes, dropping a high enough dot(s) on a mob will **** it off. ask any necro that's done a wee bit too much overstacking. worse part about dot aggro is unlike a nuke, the dot *keeps* doing damage, so yer dot can keep ye pretty high up on the aggro list.

That is just untrue.

As a Druid this is how I do some of my most efficient soloing. I root the mob and DoT it. The DoTs do not break my roots like my DD spells do. You should try it out, I'll think you find the same to be true for you.

Edited: Removed my comments about Shaman DoTs since apparently they have a DD effect to them.

Shaman DoT's do have a chance of breaking root but that is because the initial component of the DoT is a DD. Root just works differently than snare does. With root the mob gets a resistance check to break root every 7 seconds (i.e. every tick) and DD's increase their chance of success for breaking the root unlike snare which is a fixed time movement reduction spell. When it hits the mob it last for a certain duration and nothing less. Unless of course the mob is dispelled. The only snare I have seen with a random time counter could be Tangling Weeds, the ranger quick snare they got with Luclin. I have seen it wear off mere seconds after it landed, but have never had snare last any shorter than its full duration.

Enchanter DoTs also have a DD effect when first cast. I partner with an Enchanter sometimes and we had to work out a meathod for root cooking. I would snare, she DoTs, then I root, and then stack my DoTs while she walks close enough to get hit to aggro pet.

On subject though, this bow would be nice for anyone who doesn't have better and is high enough level to use it.

The whole game is a matter of oppenion. You make the decisions for what you want to fight with and what armor to wear.

Just think how boring it would be if everyone in a class wore what everyone else was wearing of that class. Who would you show your new gear off to then? They would already have it.

Good Hunting and have fun,
