I only see opinions from archer/kitters players , the game isnt just that kind of gameplay
Root is pretty useless in mointain ( only if you have full set for damage buff , a golem will wreck you and u will take an eternity to kill them with arrows ) and a sure death if you try archer in a cave ( cultings will blast you because their fire attacks with a root set ) and not much place to over run 5-7 ulvs + 1-2 cultists
Believe me , just full an iron set and an iron mace , there is not risks of death with these gears
