I found that around lvl 14 or so root became completly usless. my friend was
lvl 19 and gave up on using root at lvl 15 because it just sucked so much.
It is resisted alot (blue ghouls resist it), and it never sticks when it
does get past the MR. I found it very usefull at lvl 11 and 12 against young
kodiaks.. I loved fighting those. Anyways at lvl 20 you get a new root spell
taht holds longer, its call Enstill. But either way your better off just
grouping IMO with atleast 1 tank, best to have a tank and a cleric tho.
