Root

[sunbeam]

Something seems off about it.  It most often doesn't even seem to last a whole tick, breaking almost immediately against even and above con mobs.  (I'll experiment with blues)

I talked with Dingus and he had the same problem, so much so he quit using it.

And right now I don't have it memmed on my spell bar since it doesn't seem to work well enough to be useful.

Is root breaking upon impact of a damage spell?

[sunbeam]

No, it's more like you cast it, then it immediately breaks.

One thing that may complicate things is that, in my case, druid roots have a damage component. But it should be applied before the root effect.

I don't think that is the case because Dingus reported the same issue. Maybe Nuker the wizard can shed some light on it as well.

I will restore the spells from the default peq database when i get the chance.

I tried root, the druid one on ice giant in Everfrost. Not a problem in the world, acted just like it should, held for a while, broke when you used a direct damage spell.

But I found it almost useless in Unrest. Maybe those mobs are just really resistant (though I don't remember them being unusually so).

I think the Ice Giants in Perma regen 3% of health a tick. But the funny thing was about 270 points a tick of dot's had a hard time moving their health bar down, I had to dd them.

More root feedback. Kind of weird. It won't stick at all for more than a second or two on the Kobold Advisor in SolB, but it lasts a good long time on the imp protectors for Djarn.

[sunbeam]

Even more root stuff. It works on a lot of mobs, but not too well on others. Not sure if the Kobold Advisor in SolB is some kind of famously resistant mob, or something.

But the odd thing is it usually lands in the first place, not resisted. But it lasts no time at all with some mobs.

I'm pretty sure you figured out the issue. The mobs having higher resists in our database compared to PEQ database is causing the PEQ source code to break root quicker then it should be on some mobs. I will look at and modify the root breaking code at some point and modify it to last longer.

should be fixed
