Tactical Information

Cracked Earth is a good skill to root enemies, having an insignificant cooldown compared to Herb-lore. This is especially viable if a Lore-master traited down the Master of Nature's Fury line fights multiple targets, thus being able to reduce his/her incoming damage (note that Blinding Flash has a severely reduced duration), while at the same time dealing damage.
