Right < 1/6. However in group PvP you are almost certainly dealing with nets, which is what I feel like is probably the core problem, not so much root itself.

My reasoning is that people only complain about roots (and sometimes the nets specifically), when they are some of the hardest CC spells to land. Why don't I hear anything about stuns which are a hell of a lot easier to land, or even snares which are slightly easier to land and cannot be broken by melee or spell damage?

Nillbog said the nets should be less of an issue after the next patch when recharging is taken out. But we've been hearing about that 'patch' for about 2.5 weeks now so who knows.

I was referring to all of it. I'm tired of fighting whirled targets, I'm tired of fighting snared targets, and rooted targets - it's boring and takes away the fun of the game. There was a reason this shit made classic fun, they seriously ruin it heh. Every fight I've been in since getting home were against rooted targets, one of which was Darwoth who gated instantly lolol.

And no it's not because of nets, although that does amplify the problem.

yes, still trying to figure out why you started spamming me with ritalin tells afterwards, couldn't decipher if you were calling me a faggot for gating from a group of you, or if you were vindicated that i am somehow wrong due to being rooted when i have said from the beginning that crowd control lands more here than live.

either way of course i was rooted, after letsjoe stripped my mr buff and tashed me i had 21 mr, on the other hand he resisted 2 nets and a few casted roots at whatever level of mr he had.

Roots punish melees a lot harder than stuns, most of the time (snare does too).

It's essentially a permanent stun if you can't pumice it off.



This probably contradicts what I posted months ago, but a as-close-to-classic-as-possible resist system is probably the best bet. Melees never wrecked old world pvp even with the classic resist rate (which was like 120 MR == 95% resist) they were still handicapped. Casters still killed them pretty easily.

i know you are an epic newb like all the other devs , but you could break a snare by nuking yourself on live , please understand this only worked on yourself and not mobs or other players , obv once you were in pop or past resists were so high reliably landing a small dmg nuke on yourself wasnt worth it since you had to cast several times
