It kind of sucks when charming, because you have to keep re-rooting to make sure the target is rooted for when you break charm.

Would hate playing enchanter like this. Druid and Nec arent as bad because of survivability spells
Yeah root breaks are pretty annoying as a result. Charm breaks aren't bad if soloing because they are obvious, but pretty annoying when doing group or raid content.

GINA helps

Aye, doesnt help with early breaks though.

But all the people acting like "well just get good, now you arent looking at chat boxes"

Worn off messages have been around since 1999 lol.

It's most annoying with dots, but you can count the seconds or simply cycle them. Sham epic = about 2 banes. Roots, charms, and other stuff like that I don't get the complaint. Give yourself distance and pay attention.

Cars have all sorts of gauges and warning lights on the dash but if you dont spend most your time looking out the windshield you will end up in a tree.

Well with Charm it's not an issue because it's visually obvious when charm wears off. It's the root that's the annoying one. because your root can break without you knowing, and then Charm breaks and you have two mobs running at you instead of one.

This is survivable of course via a combo of rune and stun spells (unless you're fighting mobs that are immune to stun), but it can definitely cause you to die lol. Especially considering that at high levels many of the places you would be charming you don't have the ability to "give yourself space" as you say one should.

Really overall for any class except Enchanter this isn't really that big of an issue. It's enchanter charm soloing where it can present a potential problem.

Dots are the least annoying, just use Gina triggers

I'm a little relieved that this a bug. I thought I had inadvertently hit some kind of shortcut to turn off notifications and have been trying to fix it for a week. Regardless of how much or how little it affects each person's play or style, this is an issue that hopefully is being worked on.

Default Enchanter Charm Roots

Not knowing when root breaks while charm killing is a pretty big problem. Honestly, don't really understand why that change in the patch can't just be reverted. Not to be a Debbie downer but last oops I ran into like this was the dot immolate that didn't work at all due to a patch. That one took over a year to fix and gutted the mid leveling of all druids removing root rot as a viable kill strategy. Can we please just revert patch part pls. Thanks for the hard work.

Oh, I see this is an issue for everyone lol. I was all excited that the druid immolate spell got fixed so I logged back in to play after 6 or so months off to find that my spell wear off messages were broken. Just spent 2 hours trying to fix it, hahaha. My bad.
