Default Root and Fire Giants

Couldn't find anything on this with the search function.

How root currently works on fire giants.

1. Get in melee range and cast root. Lands normally.
2. Get out of melee range. Root always breaks on the next server tick. This is abnormal.

Root should be an effective CC tool against fire giants (and I think it was at some point on this server). I'm not sure when this changed.

I haven't exhaustively tested this, so I'm not sure if this is general to all belly casters. Have others noticed this?

Here's some evidence dating from 2000.

And the relevant part.

In a pinch, root-parking giants -can- work. Rooted npcs don't summon, so if you park a fire giant warrior far enough out of melee range, you may be able to keep him out of the fight. Keep in mind that there are fire giant magi, and root parking them isn't nearly as effective.
