Resist System Feedback

Shamanx · #1 11-02-2011, 04:50 PM

My biggest concern with resists right now is snare/root cancelling sow. I understand in classic it did this, but that was with a resist system where snare and root landed very rarely.

In this resist system (less full resists, but shorter durations), if snare/roots are removing SoW, it makes SoW classes almost require Jboots, no? A SK, paladin, mage, wizard, cleric, enchanter, necro, and rogue can all root or snare. They all also require Jboots, so if they are snared or rooted its no big deal, just re-click Jboots.

Druids, Shamans, and Rangers all have SoW, there is no reason for them to get Jboots normally. But if their SoW is removed from 90% of classes, it pretty much kills the use of SoW.

So farm jboots if you're a druid/shaman and ranger...

Root/snare should definitely cancel SoW.

everyone that is competitive will have farmed jboots, however the issue remains as jboots are significantly slower than sow and the opposing group if they dont have a bard will all have sow 95% of the time.

It should, I agree. But on live, your chances of a root/snare landing with good MR was what, 5%-10%? If someone landed a root or snare after 10 times, then sure they deserve to get my SoW. But here, with roots and snares landing far more easily, why should my SoW, a huge advantage in PvP, be stripped by someone that casts 2 snares/roots?

INCORRECT, in classic you DID NOT lose SoW , but your movement speed was reducted and in the case of root you didn"t move intill effect wore off.I was there and remimber it well.

From what I read. In classic, if you got snared it also lasted full fucking 2 minute+ duration. So it doesn't REALLY matter how it was in classic cause that was a shitty dumbass system.

In the case of class that can not recast SoW on there self, it make a very big difference.
