Yeah being chain rooted in PvP at low lvls when you buy magic resist gear is terrible.
At higher levels, you shouldn't be playing expecting it to land if you were a live player anyways. 5 people at once weren't spamming root, ever, in a fight I can recall. Completely not classic and detrimental. It completely favors a zerg or otherwise unskilled setup. Why do you think stuns and roots get diminishing returns and long recasts in modern PvP mmos? It's completely gamebreaking otherwise. Not to mention, if you are any sort of good, you don't need it. Even better, if you played classic EQ you remember it this way and shouldn't be favoring it. Root was used to cull nakeds or control pets (that didn't have magic resist). Magic resisting a pet made it immune or break almost instantly if it ever did land. That's how it worked, plenty of people played in this setting and were fine with it. You can come talk to me on skype or IRC or something if you want to debate this. | ||

ive never seen 5 people rooting in mass pvp. wtf are you smoking bro. the only time i use root is when people are dashing for the zone cuz i know a plug is inc. these situations do not happen on red. if 5 people are spamming root then no wonder they are getting slaughtered. look at the gm event. maybe 1 or 2 roots the whole fight and im just assuming that cuz i didnt see any. root comes to play in solo/small gang pvp typically around zonelines. any small gang who could choose 5 roots over 5 nukes is so much fail.

I should have to wear magic resist in every slot and have to keep full magic resist buffs up to avoid root? That is completely insane not only from a classic but also a balance stand point.
What about wanting to have resistances to other things? Like wearing a froglok crown? Why should I have to wear magic resist in every single slot and then still have a good chance to be burned by root/snare spam? That makes no sense to me at all. Plane of fear pvp when I played was: "You resist root" "You resist root" "You resist darkness" "You resist engulfing roots" "You resisted root" "You are engulfed in darkness" Look at my entire set of magic resist in my later kill shots. That's stupid and cannot be debated, nor will I further. | ||

not sure who you are aregueing with because i didnt say you needed mr in every slot. my argument was that 51 mr is easily achieved thru one piece of gear and a buff. im not agreeing with the current system nor classic. I think there still needs to be some balancing but 51 mr is kinda retarded for this server considering the average gear a player has.

when you say 51 mr i say 90ish mr is more realistic. still easy as hell to get and with a bard you literally need no mr gear equipped. okay well the pvp ive participated in doesnt involve chain root/snare tactics. there is no time for that. you should be lucky you were fighting retards then.

10 people casting 5 roots on me sounds okay to me. By that time if it was even odds to start with half their team would be dead.
One lands, dispel, carry on. | ||
