If you have about 10-12K in the bank...
Go to the bazaar and buy the ornate chain legs mold. 3 chain links and 1 tannan hammer. Go make a pair of PoP chain legs (on the Plane of Tranquility). (full quest writeup on
http://www.eqtraders.com - use the quest link on the left, then pop - that should get you close). These legs have a clicky effect of root (3 sec casting time) they are awesome for root+rotting.
Pull with a malosini spell, immediatly click legs to root. Backup out of melee. Slow. Then apply a poison dot, if root breaks re-root.
Visible Armor: buy the tradeskilled energaic armour in the bazaar - should be pretty cheep - 1-2K each. At level 59 you can buy defiant energaic, which will last you all the way to 70 - but is a lot more expensive.
Jewellry: Buy Velium Trio jewellry molds, stick 3 gems in - you will be amazed how good it is. There is a jewellry calculator somewhere that shows you what you can do.
