You're landing tons of roots over and over on yourself with 140MR which is a lot more than most rogues and monks will have in classic. Something like 100-120MR is what a well geared rogue will have and a monk will have probably 80-100. Don't even try to pretend like everyone on the server will have a Tranix crown plus Jacinth rings either.

With lower resist, they last longer and land even easier. You claim the duration is too short to matter, but this just leaves the door open for Null to change it to whatever he wants at any time before beta closes or after release.

If all it takes to get a free kill is one guy spamming you with a constant stream of roots and snares while another guy does damage, then it's gonna be mindless, no-talent, zerg based PvP.

Solo grief druids and wizards..sorry but when you swoop in to pick off a player or two out of a group you are going to get root/snare spammed and corpse camped. Which is what you deserve for taking on a group. (the last two sentences is what has the TZVZ trolls up in arms btw)
A solo player attacking an entire group of even cons is not a grief player ya idiot. What fucking planet is this guy from?

the issue is not that it lands for 1 - 4 seconds on average, the issue is that it removes speed buffs and therefore when it breaks you are still effectively snared anyway.

even if you have jboots to hit once it breaks, your foes likely have sow.
Behold, all the druids, rangers, and shaman instantly change their vote to be against root landing.

An EQ classic mechanic of root removing SOW, yet a non-classic mechanic of root landing a million times more often than it should converge into the ultimate bullshit fest.

Seems like people prefer the current system. Every single non hardcore player should definitely prefer it since it won't put raid geared people in godmode. You'll actually have a chance vs anyone with equal skill in a 1v1 even if they have better gear. I'm not a casual myself so I suppose I should prefer the GODMODE classic system but I prefer a challenge so I'm voting with the casuals.

its not hard at all to get resists to the point where u can resist root/snare all the time with classic eq resist style, you don't need raid gear

it puts people at a bigger disadvantage if they get rooted partially nonstop rather then being able to run and split the zerglings up and then ambush them like a apache warrior

Three classes that are very good, possibly overpowered PK classes.

Exact opposite of what Lovely's screenshots showed. God, you are dumb, for real.
