First of all, if you notice in my post, it says " ROOT " not enstill or
immobilize or other high level spells. I am talking about stuff around lvl 15
or blow. This method of teaming up with just wizards works great, mobs arond
this lvl hit me for around 30 dmg a pop, and with 210 hp, i can stand for a few
shots. they also miss a lot too, so not to worry. come on, with 3 wizards
blasting, how long do you THINK the mob is gona live huh ?? it will be dead
within the fist 4 shots. Everyone use Shock of LIghtning in my groups and hit
for around 79 dmg each time. thats 3 x 79 at the first shot, and 237 dmg done
already. Most will not resist, if some resist, fine, we can still combine hit
for around 100 dmg at least. If root works, great, mob is gone in seconds, if
root don't work, mob will also die within 20 seconds. Just kill it fast and
we won't need those dumb tanks. Anyways, 2 or 3 wizzies together also make
great KS team. Both can stand at opposite sides of a derv camp and blast, those
other ppl don't even know we are teamed haha. anyways, just some ways for
all u power gamers out there to gain lvl even faster.

haha. won't work to "stand and melee" at higher lvls (not many classes can
actually do this without a healer). believe me, when you've got a total of
roughly 450-500 hp and the monsters are hitting for anywhere from 50-70 in
the mid to high 20's and kicking/bashing for a descent amount of dmg (and
just about all monsters stun on a regular basis), then you WILL NOT STAND
AND MELEE. And no, the mob will not leave you if he senses that he can kill
you (ie. once your health is down far enough, there's no getting him off of
you. period).
your best bet is just to stay back and make sure he doesn't come after you,
or root the son-of-a-bitch. if he does get a hold of you, you're gonna die
real quick if you don't do something about it (and no, that doesn't mean
melee).
keep on with your melee, as it is not suicide at lvl 13... but make sure
you don't make a habit of it, as when you pass 20, and move into the mid
20's and higher, you'll see the light, and realize why some of us don't even
carry a weapon anymore :)
