Okay so I'm looking into the earth pet situation. Before I waste a lot of time in the wrong areas, a few questions:

When you say it is never resisted. Is it truly NEVER resisted? Or is it extremely rare to resist?

Does the root resist problem exist with both low level mage pets and high level ones? EarthElementalAttack (low) vs. EarthElementalStrike (kunark lvl).

Does the root frequency problem exist with both low level mage pets and high level ones? EarthElementalAttack (low) vs. EarthElementalStrike (kunark lvl).

Do these same problems exist for PVE encounters on the pvp server, or only for PVP?

It is resisted, but even with 200+ MR it seems a 50/50 proposition at best, and anything lower than that and it's GG. I'm not sure what level pet the issue is with, but I know it definitely occurs with the high level kunark one. With the frequency, again I'm not sure about the low level one, but it certainly occurs very frequently with the high level one. The frequency wouldn't be an issue if the root was correctly resisted. Maybe this will be the chance we've all been waiting for, that ALL root spells are looked into.
