It was broken, and yeah avoiding getting hit is much easier now aka the *disc opener* well duh the hitbox change didnt help you if you just stand there and let someone disc you

What a cry baby
Maybe discussing game mechanics and how they effect PvP is over your head. Or being honest about your resist rates. It is absolutely impossible that my various toons all partial slightly once they get past 140 elemental and that you don't partial at 171. I even partialed a sunstrike on a nearly naked bard with only MM drum modified ele rhythms running.

If elemental damage was so hard to resist, there would be more than 2 60 druids in the top 100. As is, they are highly effective at farming nubs with no FR(see Smallmee and Aylvan, even Hateraid) and much less effective at 60. In the past 5 months I have not had one single wizard open on me with a sunstrike, every time it is lure, because nearly every 60 partials significantly.

But back to game mechanics. There is no change to melee damage, it is just slightly harder to hit a juking target. Change to snares and roots makes it easy to land, so now the target can't juke and gets rolled by the swarm of melees. It sounds exactly like how it is now, except even shittier. As it stands now at least I resist all the roots and snares as I juke the melee and push for high ground or trees.

The underlying problem, which has been brought up for years and by many many people, is that melee damage is much higher than it ever was on live. This patch did nothing to change that, as it did nothing to change boulderquest. Advocating buffs to CC is just asking to go back to the pre Alecta times where PvP was just a blob of people assisting off snare spam. Enchanter resist rates need to be looked at, as I called out in my earlier post, they do not need to be turned into a tash, gob ear, fetter bot for a mass of monks and rogues.
