Spells: Root chances to break early depends on spell used

[Danth]

Interpretation matters, too. If the average root lasts say half its nominal duration, a longer-lasting root spell will inherently last longer than a shorter-duration spell. This type of behavior, by itself, would fit with the quoted comment.

For many years it was commonly believed (and largely demonstrated by players) that the damage portion of Druid root spells often broke the root part. Verant, per its usual behavior, vigorously denied it for a long time before supposedly fixing it quietly.
