Game Mechanics: Ghost roots causes reduced dot damage

[kaev]

I don't think it is the ghost root per se that is the problem.

If you root a moving mob it will take the reduced damage until/unless you engage it in melee. This is 100% reproducible. Root a non-moving mob and the problem does not occur. Have a mob break root and reroot it without stopping it via melee engagement and the problem occurs (this also can cause the ghost root effect).

If you realize mob is taking too little damage and engage even momentarily in melee it will start taking the correct damage.
