Resists and Melee

of course not, and my point will be lost on most people.

we all have legitimate complaints as long as they are articulated properly, this is a beta after all. i only pointed this specific case out to make a point. perhaps you can at least note the irony of someone who just yesterday accused people of QQing about resists is now complaining about having their HT resisted.

begrudge me my legitimate complaints and i will begrudge you yours.

No grudge, all you bro.

Root seems to be completely useless. It's being resisted like 50% or more by blue enemies who don't have a single piece of resist gear yet - but that is not really the problem. The problem is that even if it sticks, it wears off almost immediately. Pretty often it actually wears off immediately. In its current state, root is completely pointless.

And keep in mind that the low level enemies don't have any notable resistances yet. Resistance gear will make it even worse.

all the more reason to grab a sword and fight like a man IMO

begrudge, not grudge. they are two distinct words with different meanings.

i am probably going to be playing a caster of some kind on live and i don't really have a problem with root sucking. i think it's a little weird to have naked blue cons resist as much as they do, though.

the only problem is root sucks for pcs, but pets can root like nobodies business.

as a 23 ranger I'm literally unable to hit people as long as they strafe around in circles. Snaring/Rooting is not a viable option due to massive resists (I can dump an entire mana bar without landing a single root).

Gnomes are the worst, their hitbox is tiny. I've yet to fight against any of the larger races so I can't comment on that.

[Diggles]

right now, my pet has hit almost every single root he casts against a PC.

I've literally been able to just cast burst of flame on a white con SK until he died.

i wasn't complaining, only reporting my findings... never argued that it was unreasonable. if you thought so, then maybe it is, but doesn't mean i was QQing

and that is literally the first and only time i casted a spell in pvp :P
