Item re-charging is classic but was deemed detrimental to the health of the server.

All Destin is trying to say is perhaps the devs should consider whether t-staff should fit in the same category.

People are upset that root still lands ~6% of the time. Root can be dispelled and the rooted player can still cast and attack. The player casting root is giving up dps in order to cast root a non-damaging or low damaging spell.

Tranquil Staff lands 100% of the time. Cannot be dispelled and the rooted player cannot cast or attack. The monk is giving up 0 dps in order to do so.


Stop for a moment and consider the math:

At max dex you get 2 procs per minute.
Currently proc is an unresistable 12 second stun.

That means each monk is "super rooting" someone every 30 seconds without using mana while putting out the most damage they are capable of.
