This has been brought up and blown off, but:

*Root and Snare*

Root-type spells and "snare" type spells now use a separate spell
effect.

Previously, "Root" spells would overwrite any snare effect upon the
target. When the root would wear off, the target began moving at full
speed. With this change, when root wears off, snare will still be in
effect. This has a few added effects on the other end.

For instance, root will no longer cancel SoW or Journeyman's Boots
effects. It also allowed us to correct a long-standing bug that was
allowing bards to cancel root on themselves by playing Selo's
Accelerando if Selo's was in effect at the time that the bard was
rooted. As mentioned in a previous patch where the first part of this
bug was fixed, this was not the intended effect.

Selo`s needs to overwrite root and snares.

Psalm of Vitality needs to cure 1 disease counter.

Psalm of Purity needs to cure 1 poison counter.

We can't pick and choose people it's the classic vision™ not your carnival clown versions of EQ.



edit #1: The end of these patch notes are false. There was no "previous patch" mentioning that it was an unintended effect or a bug.
