This item gives me butterflies...Whoever says Grasping Roots isn't good as is... has never fully seen the awesomeness of it's power at a higher level.

Imagine a melee mob that can never move and gets plinked on by an all ranged attack group? Constant root from 1-2 druids allows for little to no effort.

I didn't start using roots on my druid until lvl 110+ when I was more into solo bossing in OW. Roots makes OW bossing pretty easy for a druid with decent gear and decent level.

As far as im concerned many druids don't really use grasping roots, i think one of three things should happen, 1. At best it should be an area affect that deals dot throughout the duration it is inflicted on the multiple targets, pretty much bees with a gasping roots effect to it, not nearly as much damage as vines probably about 1/4-1/2 the damage, but roots by itself is isn't worth maxing when you can only cast on one person and it does no damage, this would make it worth using, 2. Turn it aoe without damage, 3. Keep it to a single target but add damage,
This would dramatically help druids solo, with a little kick of damage, since especially bark, embrace, natures touch get interrupted, it can help a druid to survive,

Just to be clear why: I've never maxed or really even used roots, yea i can put the 25 points to max it, but thats 25 points that doesn't go toward damage or healing, just holding someone in place, it dilutes the potency of a druid, I'm a lvl 98 hybrid druid, and roots is only really effective if you have it at par with your lvl, which i would have to waste about 18 skill points, this game does give you enough skill points for the 18 or so druid spells, i could only max four, making me have to choose wisely, and roots just ain't good enough, especially trying be a hybrid and do both good heals and damage

Please comment if you agree or have anything to add to the post
Roots rock! Otm trollin ha by makin the cooldown and recast take a fraction longer than it holds for ;) makes things more fun tho

I have a question. For 'duoing' bosses with ranger and druid what would be the best skill build for the druid? Mainly should roots be used or no?

Right now im thinking along the lines of:

Embrace
Bark
Howling wind
Natures Touch

If roots was included in this build I would think I would take the points out of touch (except for ring points for roots) as my ranger has a very nice heal by himself (which would effectively reduce nt to 1 or close to it). Or instead should I be taking the pts out of embrace and hw, or even bark?

This would be a low-mid lvl druid with a (atm) mid lvl ranger.
