Tauren: you can Warstomp and get this spell off before the stun is broken! Great vs rogues.

AQ20 is where this spell absolutely SHINES. Our guild has relised an AQ20 run without druids is a raid with a lot of deaths.

When you first enter, your best bet is to root one of the guards and tank the other away. When moving further in, root the little white ones(reds are immune) and bring the bug packs down one by one.

Down the hunter tunnel root the reds away and keep their AOE ailence away from the tanks. In the hunter room, root the little white ones again, this time the bug packs go from 3 to 5 bugs.

We set up designated rooters everytime and this spell, which I hardly ever used previously, now has a permanet place in my heart :)

Used by druids... very annoying when you're facing druids if you don't have any long ranged weapons.

Commento di StoneLegion

Great for pve and pvp. I use it a lot when players are on a mount even though most can escape it atlest they need to get off there mount to escape the effect or till they take damage. I tend to root them go into car form or bear and rip them a new one :) Try next time one great skills from stopping someone from running away,

Commento di Carighan

One question, does anyone know the scaling of this? ~200%, like a DoT of that duration?

If so, this seems quite powerful for damage actually, seeing Brambles gives +75% damage, that'd mean ~350% scaling over the 27s, with a basedamage of nearly 600.

Commento di wadafak

does anyone know if you can instant cast this with nature's swiftness?

Commento di 65831

Yes, but you want to root the enemy instantly, use Nature's Grasp. Nature's Swiftless is very usable with long-casting healing spells

Commento di 49155

Is this spell castable even if you are not looking at your target?

Commento di 24122

does ne1 know if u can have nature's grasp and this on 2 different targets like could i root 1 with NG and then root another with this?

Commento di 105331

Don't use this for spell damage, if you pull 2 mobs, root one, and focus on the other (spamming wrath and putting on your dots is probably the most viable option).

Please don't get Brambles too.

Note that this spell was hit with the nerf bus a few months ago, reducing its usefulness by quite a bit. It will last a maximum of 12 seconds (I think, it might be 10), and every time you use it in succession, the time it will last is reduced by 50%. (12, 6, 3, immune). It used to last its full duration, and it was easy to root the enemy, casually get your heals off, then attack them again when you're ready.

Also, this spell can break on its own damage, and does so very often against crits especially.

Commento di 64664

Most mobs that can use this spell have an overpowered version of it. It even works in caves for them, while you can not.

In pvp this, in theory, looks very overpowered. Root a warrior and he can't come near you at all. Put another dot on him to kill him slowly.

Commento di zagi

Actually, with 1200 spelldamage and Brambles this move could cause quite some damage.

351 * (1.575*1200) * 1.75 (Brambles) = 3921 damage!

Commento di 33892

From what i heard, this spell is going to be useable outdoors. Most likely in WOTLK alpha version.

Commento di 156400

In WotLK, this will be usable INDOORS.

Commento di danyjr

This spell will be usable indoors once Wrath of the Lich King expansion is released. (See: Wrath of the Lich King Beta Patch Notes)

Commento di 152040

finally usable INDOORS TYVM blizzard! <3

Commento di 182403

Yeah you can use it indoors = cc for druids in groups, witch is actually quite nice, a feral tank can cc a melee as a ranged pulling tool, or think about this: cc a healer and get the mobs out of healing range

Commento di 75180

Usable in door in WotLK.

Commento di lectrick

Anyone know if this spell suffers from diminishing returns either in PvP or PvE?

Commento di 228697

Though it won't have any immediate effect on casters, remember that you can still do this during the pull in an instance and the tank (whoever that may be) can just pull the mobs around a corner (if possible) to perform the age old LOS trick.

You have to consider that this is a very powerful spell because it effects demons, beasts, dragonkin, humanoids, undead, etc.

Where as polymorph, shackle, banish, seduction, and the others all have limitations on who you can cast them on, caster type mob or not.

This spell is awesome-o now. The only problem is the heart beat chance it'll break, but that runs along with most CC types.

Commento di Jaspirac

It always seemed pretty dumb that roots could not be used in caves, houses and other ground based indoor areas. Now... Mobs beware! I can now use my outdoor strat indoors. Great upgrade.

Commento di 203775

Love this <3.

As a balance druid when i kill mobs 1 at a time i can usually kill them before they get me.

Root/MF/IS -> Starfire -> Wrath spam from max range (Or starfire its on low enough hp to get killed by it or the first one proc'd stun)

Commento di 169285

Entangling roots, believe it or not does benefit from spell power...its spell power coefficient is 10% per tick.

Commento di 172135

This used to be good before blizzard ruined it with a cast time - its probably the usual whining from pvp'ers. Get off my server!

Commento di Edoralf

As of Patch 4.2, this ability no longer deals damage.

Commento di darknesscalls

Indeed, the ability will no longer do damage.

I wonder how Tree of Life will enhance this ability now?

Commento di dakseg

Useless for balance druid.

Commento di Thottbot

Doesn't ayone think that it has a damage but it has a chance of freeing the rooted when taking damage?
They should really fix this since it is just so lame.
OK. First u root ur target, move away and then start using starfire for the nice critts :D
With Nature's Grasp(and improved) u get roots to the next one who attacks u and with no castingtime.

Commento di Thottbot

yep

Commento di Thottbot

Only bad part is you cant use indoors but atleast there's no cooldown rly/Im lvl 50 FULL feral and I dunno if I can out-heal a holy priest,*never had a heal fight comparison before and my priest is a real low lvl but I do heal great anyways and I've been complimented that I heal better than some resto druids *I can see why at times*but ya,and tanking part If I get enough heals off I may be able to beat a Warr,maybe that heal over time bear spell.It's just how you play =),your greatness depends on your dedication to your guy.

Commento di Thottbot

Mainly twink rogues, but sometimes other classes... Roots lasts less than a second on the bastards (when it's not resisted entirely)

What possible enchant/talent could be causing that?

More Importantly, what can the twink druid do to improve the penetration?

Commento di Thottbot

At higher lvls (such as 38) it lasts for 21 seconds, most people don't have much or any nature resist, so its not uncommon for it to last at least 15 seconds. Entangling roots is useful against:

-Warriors obviously because they can't reach them.
-Pally's unless they're smart enough to use blessing of freedom.
-Rogues because they cant hit you.
-Warlocks because if you root them at more than 20 yards they can't fear you.
-Shamans because they can't use their shocks and their totems don't effect you.
-Feral druids because entangling roots costs much less than them switching forms to get out.
-Hunters if you put yourself between 5 yrds (melee
range) and 8 yards (bow range). If you can hibernate the pet, and entangle them there, they can't do anything to you.

However, priets and mages (as well as warlocks with felhunters) will usually win everytime if you're balance. Priets can remove faerie fire, entangling roots, moonfire, insect swarm and any other magic effect from them and you (which includes heal over times). Mages out damage you, but if you can make them burn all their mana by healing yourself you can blow them up with starfire. Make sure you entangle mages too because their blink costs quite a bit of mana.

So ya entangling rotos isn't bad at all. But note my strategies and suggestions are really only for balance druids.

Edit: I forgot to mension that crits DON'T always bring the enemy out of roots, it's just a very big chance. Also, starfire doesn't always break them out of roots, nor does wrath or moonfire. I've also noticed the DoTs with insect swarm, moonfire and entangling roots don't give them a chance to break out.

Commento di Thottbot

its fun to try and duel people as thyey get off the boat from booty bay or ratchet, if they accept i run into the water, they usally follow me, i swim to the floor and then entangle root them. i kill lvl 40 sometimess as i keep them entangled until they run out of breaf and drown. if i start to get low breaf i go seal and recharge it. lol =P
this also kool bcuz the guards dont attck u cuz u dueling.

Commento di Thottbot

god I love this spell! :D
warrioes dont have a chance ^_^
<3<3

Commento di Thottbot

i think the dot of the roots dose let them free because i root some mob as a way of cc them and they brack out of i to fast and some time i am low on health so i root them get back and heal and like a sec after i root them they brack out and kill me!

Commento di Thottbot

Rogues and warriors get owned by this, and ty for the other tips, the fear thing, but I've been using the hunter thing, only thing is BM hunters at 40-50 can enrage their pet, so no hibernate, and at 50+ they enrage themselves too! then we're sitting ducks.

Commento di Thottbot

Druids are notoriously weak when they begin, but this spell can make your life a lot easier. This method burns a lot of mana but also keeps you from dying in situations you might not be able to handle yourself. I recently started an alliance druid and found that very simple quests were difficult, even fighting one target at a time. So here's what I came up with...

1. Roots
2. Moonfire
3. Wrath, wrath, wrath, ect
4. Target breaks--moonfire
5. Melee (by this point they should go down in one to two hits)

If the target breaks early toss another moonfire on it. Its health should be less than 40% and you may be able to use moonfire and melee to finish it off. You can also use the talent nature's grasp to root your target again if it breaks.

Commento di Thottbot

i hav a guy in my server who says balance druids need lot of mana and takes all cloth items which has lots of mana ...is it true ...me being a mage never try to do a qst with him :(

Commento di Thottbot

own spell

Commento di dannuzor
