thank you for all your input. much appreciated.
just to clarify: the situation described is not the one, where I HAVE to evac. on a "shi't hits the fan" chart we are talking about an 8, and not a 10 (where evaccing is the only thing left). imagine the wiz would evac all the time in e.g. velks ;)
the problem with root is, that sometimes people do not notice the "mob rooted, STEP AWAY" message.
what I gather is:
1 - have always a stun loaded (which I didn't always in the past).
2 - snare + nuke/stun + sit combo is very effective, but may be situational in dungeons
3 - get them last 2 yellows for AA # 3, so I can get mnemonic retention (for the stun).
chain stunning, well. the long recast times on the stuns would mean I need to have more than one loaded. so thats a no (not in a normal group setup anyway).
as to AA. well, this is my first toon over 50, and I simply would like to enjoy the ride. switching to AA helps me to see more, cause fighting greenies (in a zone I haven't explored yet) is just not the same. levelling to 65 and start doing AA I might do, once I level a second char.
also, SCS wasn't the first AA I got. and surely not the most important one. (have SCM 1, SCF 3 and SCS 1 so far, magelo
here). the dilemma is, that I would prefer to have SCM 3, cause it helps both with soloing and grouping (quadding is just plain fun). SCS though provides more benefit for the group than SCM 3 in my opinion.
well, and now that DoD was in the mail today, I can level to 59 and get pyromancy
edit: spelling
