I am Lvl 25 and I still use Force Shock on most Mobs I meet. Especially
Casters. I have Frost Shock as my second spell I use because I dont have to
wait for it to recharge. I do not understand why people are complaining
about the resisting factor because I only resist maybe and I say maybe 1 out
10 mobs. If I resist it once I use Frost 2 or 3 times then hit it again
with Force and Boom its dead. As far as Enstill I have less resists to it
then I do to Root so I use it more than anything. And as far as duration I
hardly ever have a problem with that, I have on several occassions Enstilled
a mob, then ran out of mana and sat down to meditate for one last shot or
even 2 shots and the mob is still sitting there looking stupid. I have had
numerous occassion had someoen come by and ask if I needed help to kill the
mob since I was sitting right in front of it and I state "No, hes just being
a good boy and staying where he was told. I'll deal with him in a bit." I
actually have that saying in one of my hotbox keys now ).
