I remember this while dicking around on live on my wizard. I was medding up at gfay spires and having a newbie train me with the bandits and a orc onto me. Was very odd thing so I always remembered it. I tried it on blues in hopes of figuring out a exploit, but wouldn't work.

And root always sucked. Anyone on live who played a caster will attest to this.
It's why chanters always mezzed instead of rooting, including non-casters. Predictable duration.

For the record, charming was never something we considered doing solo for xp until Dire Charm came along. There was a reason for this. I admit this "adjustment" would really tick a lot of P99 chanters off because *this* is what they're used to, but it wasn't like this on live, where I played a chanter from 99-03.
