Well, when I was 8 I took my animation and basically sphered and meleed
all the centurions in crushbone. Of course that was when the server was
young, before crushbone became grand central station. You might try the
same strategy in the upper levels of Paws. just be fast on the root,
those suckers like to run.

First, I have a level 10 Enchanter, so I'm still using the lvl 8
spells...

For fighting Solo, I always use a pet. Even if it sucks up 1/4 to 1/3
of the XP, it's still better than dying. Plus, mana regenerates faster
then HP...

I've found that for me, at least, root doesn't last long enough to use
it as the first spell. I tend to start with a Suffocating Sphere, for
the DOT effect, and then enfeeble, then Chaotic Feedback, and then
Root. Then wait a bit, and then Chaotic feedback again.

`Course, all that's only if I'm fighting something REALLY big, a yellow
or so. I'll beat up on Decaying Skeletons and Skeletons all day, just
me and my pet, no magic needed.
