So i specced into rooting pain playing a fighter/monk using sword and board but rooting pain is not doing anything like i see 0 pulses or no animations I cant see it doing anything really am I missing somthing?

Which monk subclass are you playing? 

Keep in mind that shattered pillar's reduced wound cap and enduring dance's fast wound generation can get you to max wounds quickly, after which you won't be able to trigger rooting pain until you spend some wounds and generate more (and even then, it no longer has a 100% proc).. 

I don't believe rooting pain has animations/visual cues, but you should be able to view the damage in the combat log if its firing.

I guess your problem is that you are already at max wounds. Rooting Pain only procs if you gain wounds and you won't gain them once you are full. As Purudaya said.

ahh okay i probably should spec out of it since its not really adding anything i get to max wounds like instantly as helwalker.
