Roots landing from L25 mobs?

[Man0warr]

This isn't about being a true D20 system - it's about being classic to Everquest in 1999-2001.

Level 20 mobs landing root on 60s never happened.

Oh it did too, it was just rare as hell so there's no way it was a fixed chance as high as 5%, might not even have been as high as 1%. Always pissed me off when some mob 20+ levels green would land something annoying like a ghoulroot to break SoW, especially since the player versus mob 6-level cutoff prevented any tit-for-tat. I always used to wish it was possible to do lowbie caster zerg kills for giggles.

It was super rare, rare enough that it wasn't as noticeable as it is right now on this server.

I do remember green Ghouls rooting me more frequently than spell root on live though.

I'm fairly certain it did. There is a trace of the style of D20 system all over this box. Tradeskilling certainly has absolute failure rates - in fact it's the only thing that keeps tradeskills like jewelcrafting alive. (All JC combines are 'trivial' to a 250 outside of platinum sapphire, ruby, jacinth, diamond, black sapphire, and blue diamond). That 5% failure rate is where margins are born.

Solution: Don't pull caster mobs if you don't want to get rooted.

naw lvl 60 with any kind of magic resist even a shielding buff shouldn't have this happen

If enough people agree to this then I am sure they will try to fix it. It wasn't this bad until last patch. I feel as if resists all around go screwed up a lot last patch. my wizards lures are now getting resisted or partial damage which never happened. And now I am getting rooted left and right by mobs sub-30 levels below me.

theres a post about Lure's Nirgon started in the bug forum

someone should go bump dat and keep looking for evidence to prove that Lure's had no partial resists only Full or nothing

and the nothing was usually because the mob couldnt be hit with spells or that element PERIOD
