I'm prepared to have everyone laugh at my expense, but I've had a Trader since I first joined AO in November of 2002. I had uploaded a few of the root nanos in my career, but never really used them, figuring instead that I should stand still and take my punches like a man.
Well, today I felt like a total NOOB. I just bought Entreprenurial Thrall (the top Trader Root Nano) at Level 185 and finally learned that you could root a melee mob and go run out of its hit range to kill the mob!
I'd heard people refer to "root and shoot" over the years, but I thought this was something only done in PvP!
Now, share your noob-tastic experiences as long time players so that I don't feel like such an idiot!
