How to fix rangers and warriors without losing the "classic" feel.

It can work, but root isn't the most reliable thing. It tends to break quickly, and even moreso if people deal any kind of direct magic damage. If your group has a monk with trance sticks, a wizard, a nuking ranger and a lifetapping necro pet, root on high-level dungeon mobs (who are often buffed by nearby cleric/shaman mobs) typically won't last more than a couple of ticks. It's nice in the lower and mid-levels, but I wouldn't want to depend on it in Sebilis.
