What happened to root?

[Tecmos Deception]

They did a lot of changes to magic resist a while ago, which affected roots a lot. Trying to park stuff was brutal for a while, even with MR debuffs. I don't think it's "much less effective now" though.

You used to root/rot 4 mobs with ROOT? That's nuts, given it only lasts 8 ticks at max.

Hmmmm... you have jogged my memory tecmos. I was probably using enstill back in the day, haha. I switched to using it and it made a world of difference. 4 mobs at a time, no problem. Just like it used to be. Sorry to stir the pot with this subject.
