Mippo, we get it. The only way you ever got kills was spamming off caster's buffs and meleeing 800hp buffless casters.

I do understand how scary a concept it is to have to worry about buffs in this game called everquest, things such as buff stacking and protected damage shields must be quite foreign to you. But pal, eventually you can learn from the pros what real everquest pvp is like.

Hint, click egg shaped x8 and autoattack a naked caster down isn't the epitome of skill like you seem to believe.

Real Everquest PvP being spamming root on helpless targets under a broken resist system while melees who couldn't joust their way out of a paper bag beat on a still target?

I was the top ranger on the best PvP server back when skill was a factor in this game.

Have your group dispel you? Don't stand in LoS of a caster spamming root on you? Removing egg-shaped is not the end of the world.

Yes, I played on live PVP servers. I'm aware of how to dispel root. I'm simply stating the fact that scaling the magic resist system on VZTZ made root a very viable tactic to use, which is why many players opened with it in every fight, instead of kiting and killing people on the move.

Speed is always the most important thing in PVP and that's in most games, not just Everquest. So why allow an ability that lets people stop your movement completely and make it a regular part of PVP? Regardless of whether or not there are ways to dispel root, I'm well aware of them, the less people rely on movement stopping abilities, the higher the quality of PVP becomes as everyone can move around.
