Resists and Melee

[Masq]

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.

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

As a 20 pally I rarely am able to land hits on moving targets as well.

The pets didnt pull aggro from the druid eh?

No he just chain cast snare to maintain aggro even though it was resisted every time.

make hitboxes slightly larger imo

Playing a druid ive noticed the same shitty rates for pvp snare/root. But whats odd is when it does land (albeit usually for only a few ticks) nukes dont seem to ever brake it. Got a root off and at least 3 nukes while 3 other melee were smacking the guy and he eventually died before root wore off. I think root should land a bit more, but be easier to escape if hit by a nuke, i remember it breaking almost always after a nuke.

On a mob this deff seems the case, on white con mammoths I nuked literally untill i was oom or the mob was dead, root never broke early.

Earth pets forget it, root lands 100% and re-lands before it wears.

Also does snare duration get longer as you get higher level? Even on mobs my lvl 1 snare was lasting only a few ticks at lower levels and seems to be gradually increasing in duration as i get higher. I remember it being an all or nothing spell.

Some things I have noticed:

Root and snare often resist yet mage pets are pro at rooting constantly.

8/10 of my harmtouches hit for 2 or 3 damage, all the others hit for full.

I have noticed that nuke damage leans overwhelmingly towards either full or pitfully little damage. I've yet to land a nuke in the middle of the range, it's always full or like 2 damage.
