Tunare - Plane of Growth questions

[Rais]

Perma rooted Tunare is so off of being classic. I hope that isn't what he is going for. Tunare was a pain in the ass since she would fling the warrior so far away and she would just rampage through the dps. And Oger wall wasn't enough to stop them from flying.

Tunare's current implementation is the only one of with solid mechanical proof, so that's how she currently works.

How would it go if... everything was left the same, except the field version was not permarooted?

What exactly made her unkillable until late Velious?

Probably a combination of 1) immense amount of time to clear the zone before engaging her and 2) the busted implementations before August 2001, when FoH finally killed her and only got a PoG robe and 2x Blade of the Swarm.

If you had all day to raid, NToV was much more beneficial than PoG. Also, a lot of people rolled Tunare worshiping pansy races/classes and didn't want to ruin faction.

This.

As guilds like FoH and AL messed with her and got horrid loot + bugs, who would want to? She underwent a loot revamp (noted in my various Fist of Nature posts) which changed the encounter and her desirability, which is what started the other guilds attempting her shortly before Velious. It was finally worth it to do so considering her difficulty, the zone's annoyance factor, the faction hits, and the horrid loot/bugs.

Lack of desirable loot in addition to a guild full of Shadowknights and Paladins as DPS?
