Any debuff on you?

[Bazia]

yeah but even that should have only taken me to like 90-100ish

Your feet adhere to the ground
(Insert melee zerg connecting for 1 second)
You have been slain



Not gud for pvpz


Having to wear max MR gear in every slot to have a hope of resisting root :/



Coming from a guild with lots of members, stuff like this prevents any hope of a smaller force winning

[Bazia]

well I guess it may have just been an insanely bad run of luck but yeah felt weird heh

Malo + Tash is what 84 MR? Mod is 1.5 or 2 for PvP. So 126 or 168.

Brace yourself for roots, snares and stuns friends. Classic is here.

Need item loot and removal of global OOC/yellow text next.

Numerous people who put in way too much EQ pvp on live for this era will tell you 60mr meant no roots/snares/stuns.

The ~140 marker for direct damage spells is amazing tho, its very classic and I believe quite a technical hurdle. I expected some issues to creep through because we're all only human and can only test so much [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Having this cap/threshold system is a humongous win for the pvp resist code and some trade offs / analysis after the fact are expected with such a huge change and hopefully tweaks will be considered.

Rather than just take my word or anyone else's for it, I hope Haynar takes a stroll over to observe some mass PvP with the root changes. Root->Splat is real.

Abilities in WoW like frost nova had log cooldowns, instant use counters like pvp trinkets to instantly remove for a reason. Imagine of the pvp trinket had a 3 second cast in WoW how fast people would die to a RMP style lock down comp. High end arena for CC/lock down comps was basically run them out of instant removes/escapes then burst someone down. Having a fast cast 30 second movement disable is bad. I understand there are dispels and pumice, but if you root a rogue he isn't going to be able to pumice himself because he has no channeling skill. Yes he could call for a dispel so someone else can do that, but odds are he is dead as doornail before that dispel lands.

I also gotta reiterate and can't stress enough that this kills any hope of small elite crews being able to use their skill to win in pvp fights.

i wonder if you left the bonus for tash at +200% as it was before?

right now it's simply WAAAAAY too powerful

+50% would be good but even +100% is insane. it's going to be rootspam once again in big fights

also, roots are still landing like crazy even at 100 MR without any debuffs

even the 100% on malo tash is to powerful, why isn't a simple classic 50% boost enough? why the fuck are we going straight to custom on this for?

I will remove all debuff bonuses for CC spells. No skill in rooting someone.
