Change wasn't put into affect till 2001... How can you argue that it shouldn't be in?...

The change was put into affect a month after Velious release..

I am pretty sure this will end up going the same way as the pet charm bug that was in well past Luclin, which is not being included.

Thanks for the bug report though, I was not even aware it worked this way for that long :x

So are we doing basically a completely custom item/spell/resist/pvp ruleset tacked on top of P99 content then?

Selo's breaking root and snare is way overpowered. Even without this, bards are the best pvp class.

How is it overpowered exactly? Root will almost never land in the high end and almost no one will try casting it. At lower levels this will be extremely useful, but no more useful than other powerful low level abilities, like, say... root, which many classes get. And you can't stay low-leveled forever. I just don't see how big of an advantage one would get from this - I really think you get more of an advantage from being able to root people (non-bards) at low levels than Bards do from being able to avoid root. After all, being able to break root on command is only powerful if you consider root to be powerful [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

If it's classic it should stay in.

Well ok, maybe it's not all that overpowered. But it does take some skill out of breaking root for the bards. They should have to learn to stack their buffs, and pumice/dispell like everyone else.

They still will need to do this for dots like the heat blood line, and probably other detrimental buffs.

Why should bards get this advantage, though? Even though it only works for snare and root, there is no reason for it to work at all. If a bard gets caught without first buff spot open and a snare manages to get past their mr, they should have to deal with their mistake.

Bards are the best class for getting out of snare/root already, why should they be even better?

I see someone who's been jacked up by Bards his whole EQ life apparently
