Spells: Druid Snare/Root spell bug

[Haul]

Doesn't sound correct to me man, played 2000-2007 and never remember there being issues with roots and snares stacking and dispelling each other. Sounds like bull to me, or some brief 2-3 month retard period thats trying to be emulated. Glad I just use 49 druid alt to PL with. You guys screwballed that class lol.

Actually that's the way movement spells (both beneficial and detrimental) used to work until early velious.

It wasn't until the 9th of January 2001 that this was changed in a patch:

Root and Snare:

Root-type spells and 'snare' type spells now use a separate spell effect.

Previously, 'Root' spells would overwrite any snare effect upon the target. When the root would wear off, the target began moving at full speed. With this change, when root wears off, snare will still be in effect. This has a few added effects on the other end.

For instance, root will no longer cancel SoW or Journeyman's Boots effects. It also allowed us to correct a long-standing bug that was allowing bards to cancel root on themselves by playing Selo's Accelerando if Selo's was in effect at the time that the bard was rooted. As mentioned in a previous patch where the first part of this bug was fixed, this was not the intended effect.
