Correct, if you were using root it was very unreliable. Root was mostly used if you were going to DD stuff down as the mana cost was low due, cast time was fast but it had a short duration and low spell level. Once you reached the level that you could use Paralyzing Earth it was easy going for classes that could root/rot. The mana cost was high and the cast time was long but the duration was significant. Early guides mention that Paralyzing Earth had a lower resist level vs blues and usually lasted full duration. Paralyzing Earth was also a main source of CC due to the lack of people that played enchanters back in the day.

Even back then I wondered whether the higher level roots actually had a resist mod, or if it was just a matter of larger blue-range due to higher caster level plus better game knowledge that had the casters using their spells more effectively, i.e. killing low blues that had weak resists because of the level differential.

Just had an orc centurion in EC resist malosini(lvl 58) casted by my 60 mage.

this mob was a green con...

instant duration drops like 50% of the time, if it doesnt drop instantly then its resisted typically.

[kevoh]

partial resists. full resist. partial resists. then full hit finally. same mob.

this mob was a blue con. . . .

[Nirgon]

^ That should be possible

[Daldaen]

Possibly but EXTREMELY unlikely. That is more what you'd expect out of a red con fight at that level.

Casters weren't nearly this gimp in classic. In fairness, they weren't nearly as OP with 3min roots lasting full duration every time on every mob. They'd last full duration on low blues... But blues close and anything 60+ it was very hit or miss.

You are one of many players. The RNG here can be outrageously streaky. Somebody's gonna have those results. You won the prize. v0v

Not Classic.

And how many in classic era would be casting that crap on orcs in EC?

Seriously? WTF are you casting that there for? To prove something there is not data to refute?

How many times as a 60, did you have some dumb ass green ghoul root you?

I am thinking a 5% chance to resist spells sounds good.
