The Hidden Forest

Just a couple questions about slowing here. Thanks to anyone who knows the answers...

1. Are both named and trash mobs slowable? And fully or partially?

2. Will a shaman bot cast slow on mobs?

A lot of stuff is slowable and I do not know about the bots.

Not sure about the bot either. This list doesn't look entirely complete but it should help some as to what's slowable and what's not (especially for earlier tiers):

Thanks for that list. It looks like theres enough mobs that are unslowable that I dont have to worry about creating a shaman toon/bot to progress.

Shm adds so much to the group its worth having if you can find room for it.
Heck could even run it in its own group and have it self heal just to keep those buffs up.
I tend to just plow stuff and my shm is a recent addition so not sure on slowable but enough is that its worth it as your coming up the tiers.
Best of luck.

Yup. Certain raid targets are balanced around their being slowable. You can do them without slow, but if you're just breaking the tier that slow is mighty helpful. And shammy buffs are supreme. If you can only box one healer, cleric is still probably the best choice, but shammys are a great addition for patch heals+buffs+ the occasional slow.

As for bots, I think they *do* cast slow, but not very reliably at all. From what I remember, they cycle through tasks pretty randomly, and I believe they always take healing as the main priority, so if your HP is fluctuating during a fight he'll probably never cast a detrimental spell.

That's good to know, I thought pretty much every named mob after crushbone was immune to slow.
