Snare spells are generally more reliable, longer lasting and do not change the hate behavior of NPCs.<br /> <br /> Root spells lend to a strategy of solo casters called &quot;root rotting&quot;, where a caster roots the enemy, casts one or more damage-over-time spells on them, and waits for them to die. Nukes are more compatible with [[snare]] spells, as they do not cause them to break like root.<br /> <br /> | Table = {{{Table|0}}}<br /> | TableLevel = {{{TableLevel|}}}<br /> | classes = <br /> <br /> * [[Cleric]] - Level 9<br /> * [[Paladin]] - Level 22<br /> * [[Shaman]] - Level 14<br /> * [[Necromancer]] - Level 34<br /> * [[Wizard]] - Level 4<br /> * [[Enchanter]] - Level 8<br /> <br /> | items_with_effect = <br /> <br /> &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; {{:Blade of the Earthcaller}}<br /> &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; {{:Sap Sheen Staff}}<br /> &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; {{:Treant Staff}}<br /> &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;<br /> <br /> | slots = <br /> <br /> {{SpellSlotRowSmart | 2 | Root | simple = {{#ifeq:{{{Table|0}}}|0|0|1}} }}<br /> <br /> | skill = [[Skill Alteration | Alteration]]<br /> <br /> | mana = 30<br /> | range = 200<br /> | casting_time = 2.00<br /> | fizzle_time = 2.25<br /> | recast_time = 2.25<br /> | duration = 2 ticks @L4 to 8 ticks @L14<br /> | target_type = Single<br /> | spell_type = Detrimental<br /> | resist = Magic (0)<br /> <br /> | other = <br /> <br /> | msg_cast_on_you = Your feet adhere to the ground.<br /> | msg_cast_on_other = Someone &#039;s feet adhere to the ground.<br /> | msg_wears_off = Your feet come free.<br /> <br /> | where_to_obtain = <br /> <br /> {{SpellWhereTable|<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Ak&#039;Anon]] | [[Clockwork Merchant (LG-2)]] | Library | (1074,-1004) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Ak&#039;Anon]] | [[Clockwork Merchant (NG-9)]] | Necromancer Guild | (2154,-366) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Ak&#039;Anon]] | [[Clockwork Merchant (NG-6)]] | Necromancer Guild | (2085,-370) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Ak&#039;Anon]] | [[Clockwork Merchant (CG-2)]] | Cleric Guild | (1238,-539) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Cabilis|East Cabilis]] | [[Vessel Grott]] | Temple of Terror (First Floor) | (1050,-213) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Erudin]] | [[Mertitt Phentilly]] | Cleric Guild - Quellious (Outside) | (-741,-55) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Erudin]] | [[Issibla Belstince]] | Cleric Guild - Prexus (F2) | (-1031,-375) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Erudin|Erudin Palace]] | [[Telor Beteria]] | Magician Guild (Outside) | (703,806) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Felwithe|Northern Felwithe]] | [[Celest Palestream]] | Cleric Guild | (24,-444) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Felwithe|Northern Felwithe]] | [[Seria Woodwind]] | Paladin Guild | (-9,-197) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Grobb]] | [[Hoart - Troll]] | Shaman Guild | (329,-408) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Halas]] | [[Tukanta]] | Shaman Guild | (352,423) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Neriak|Neriak - 3rd Gate]] | [[Issia H&#039;Rugla]] | Cleric Guild | (405,-766) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Neriak|Neriak - Commons]] | [[Tkaz H&#039;Rugla]] | Caster Guild (F1) | (160,-968) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Freeport|North Freeport]] | [[Amata D&#039;Lavi]] | Cleric Guild (F1) | (103,311) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Freeport|North Freeport]] | [[Donala Baris]] | Paladin Guild (F3) | (208,-130) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Kaladim|North Kaladim]] | [[Axa Stormshield]] | Paladin Guild | (938, 125) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Kaladim|North Kaladim]] | [[Busey Nehart]] | Paladin Guild | (1283, 73) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Kaladim|North Kaladim]] | [[Zeffan Holdsman]] | Cleric Guild | (746, 126) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Qeynos|North Qeynos]] | [[Mellisa Purgor]] | Paladin Guild | (-158,-130) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Oggok]] | [[Hoart - Ogre]] | Shaman Guild | (666,1087) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Paineel]] | [[Nedorl Ipabrun]] | Necromancer Guild | (674,805) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Paineel]] | [[Lillean Han Oni]] | Cleric Guild | (1212,551) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Qeynos Aqueducts|Qeynos Catacombs]] | [[Leon Ereek]] | Cleric Guild | (373,-434) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Rivervale]] | [[Frappy Slimfinger]] | Cleric Guild | (-214,-359) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Qeynos|South Qeynos]] | [[Pai Berenis]] | Caster Guild | (309,-608) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Qeynos|South Qeynos]] | [[Oriyame Nelafre]] | Cleric Guild | (-259,-539) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Felwithe|Southern Felwithe]] | [[Srell Tumblebrook]] | Building just inside zone | (450,-810) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Thurgadin]] | [[Keegan]] | Paladin Guild | (-210,543) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Thurgadin]] | [[Lorekeeper Brita]] | Cleric Guild | (-184,812) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRowB | [[Cabilis|West Cabilis]] | [[Keeper Suffering]] | Cubby near PvP Area | (-382,272) }}<br /> {{SpellWhereRow | [[Freeport|West Freeport]] | [[Xinari Anara]] | Caster Guild (F2) | (138,-755) }}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> | TableLocations = Vendors<br /> | TableEra = {{{TableEra|Classic}}}<br /> }}</div> imported>Siggun
