No, sir, YOU'RE retarded. Chance of you being in Circle of Tyrants aka guild of RL friends like Severin, Burgerking, etc... and having a name remarkably similar to "Swyft" on a server with 150 but somehow not being Swyft is ridiculously, no, retardedly low. Why you gotta lie? I don't think you're such a terrible person just an obviously bi-polar person. Cmon dude, it's ok.

You know this guys RL friends you sound like a gay stalker you mad cuz this guy Swyft likes girls? And I joined CoT because they ranked number 4 unlike your pos guild.

Why everytime a normal post gets brought up, two retards decide to fight about some shit that has nothing to do with the topic. Their is a game. Log in and fight it out in tells.

Obviously this scrub didn't play on live - no one casted roots or snares on live, unless tash'd and malo'd - and it really dumbs down pvp and allows people with less gear to have no shot of pvp or surviving and turns them off from the entire server. Those spells didn't land and for good reason.

If it's still the same system, until you get 120+ you still have a really good chance of being rooted/snared.

The spells didn't land because EQ devs didn't care at all about pvp. They put spells into the game with pve in mind, and however they worked in pvp is just how they were going to work.

A custom system could improve on the original dev's "meh" approach.

So for now, take this down a notch. Crash my car through your windooooooow. Make sure you're still alive. Just in time to kill youuuuuuuuu.

My pal resisted a conflag from me, at even con, naked during the Kunark era. He had no resist fire etc on him. Further, spells got full resists more than you think without any buffs/debuffs on mobs.

Deal with it.

I was rooted on first/second casts MANY times here at 160MR.

I never killed anyone or looted them in classic on my wizard with that system. OH LAWD IT WAS TERRIBLE AND UNFAIR.

O wait.

I did.

And what Stasis said makes sense.

L2P.

I do pretty well for myself in pvp, for the most part. Think I've gotten pvp text once though, because 90% of my pvp victories end in the bad guy plugging. Druids are powerful without needing snare/root (which are already mostly useless).

Honestly though I'd rather see snare/root land maybe 50% of the time, but with hugely decreased duration. Why make spells completely useless?

I found root to be extremely useful when people refused to loot and scoot or had a history of not doing so personally.

Worked great on charmed mobs and pets too.

Everyone LnSed on VZ, but point taken I suppose. I still don't see why root lasting 1-2 seconds on players wouldn't be an option for the spells.

Why go with a strictly classic system when we could make non-classic improvements to it?
