then it just means the caster has to kite me around longer until he can finally get it to stick.... With the way the system works, as long as your not rooted, its easy to avoid melee. Which means casters can kite melee around all day long until they get a root to land.

So what you're saying is without root melees can't damage anyone.

So if you get what you want and everyone is immune to root melees won't be able to damage anyone. Sounds worse for you...

Most of the time i will get tash'd or malo'd at the start also, which means your MR will not be above 100 if your solo. So maybe roots land maybe 1 out of 5.

I beleive if I have best in slot resists for my class, I should be able to make myself immune to root. Maybe that is the single point that needs to be debated. Should a person be able to equip enough MR to make himself immune to root/snare. My opinion is yes.

Do you think you are currently well balanced 1v1 with the casters on the server?

How do you feel that balance would be if you could make yourself immune to CC?

"best in slot" caster vs "best in slot" meele is no contest. Its a joke. Even with the current 6 percent chance of root/snare landing ITS A JOKE. The casters are pure dead meat and free kills.

Is that what we want?

"But CrystalBlue, what about group vs group!?!? this is a group game!"

Yeah, group vs. group it becomes a even greater joke because the meeles get targeted last and get to run around doing 50 DPS and interupting most anything they decide to attack (while doing that 50 DPS... way more if you are a rogue lol).

Is that what we want?

Who is tyko in game and what class is he?

SPaimming 9 roots til one lands. Meanwhile getting the shit beat out me, getting dispelled. Yay root lands time to star fire. Oh wait he pumiced the root while I was casting. /bendsover

Stop dreaming, there are monks on this server with effretti standards and t-staves, you wont be able to channel through the first root, much less the 9th.

And if a rogue is on you, you will be dead before you finish trying your 2nd root.

And if a warrior is on you, they will keep you interupted too. Or maybe they will have mercy on you and stand there and let you go oom casting starfires on them to take them down to 50 percent hps..then they will kill you.


(but they are all underpowered, they need CC immunity NOW!)

I love how gmr or other mr buffs aren't being factored. Learn to pumice roots. Get jboots. Non pet casters aren't going to interrupt your pumice.

[Haul]

no offense but root should land more than that, yall are fucking crazy didn't you guys play pvp on live, on RZ root was never that difficult to land- I'd say it was like 8-9% with that shitty of mr

I thought this was a classic Everquest server? When did it become the arm chair retard pvp design lounge?

You have a guy who plays a wizard voting on classic (why this is update for debate is directly related to the devs listening to idiots) mechanics.

Assertion 1: There should be item loot.
Response: You want that because you play a wizard!

Assertion 2: Root should not land.
Response: Durr it landed on live! We had epic slap fights in Paludal Caverns where we spilled each others drool cups.

You guys will in fact see balance swings from casters to melees. I won't use it as a way of trying to prove I was right or wrong about anything. I'm just saying I told you so.

There is one way to do this right, classic style.
