Root, More rooted, Most Rooted

[Arthwyr]

Had great fun in RvR tonight, and finaly albion is getting more rooters/mezzers. Hope you all enjoyed it cause i sure as hell did like being in the "moving" army for once. Those charges at the midd wall were nice and the late night encounters with hibs were very sweet too. Thx for the fun to all albs/hibs/mids present.
Goodnight.

yes, thanks to the 10 mids, 15 hibs and 30 albs

 

[K0nah]

"30 albs" half of which were lvl40 or less i'll wager

mezzing and rooting is so bloody annoying lol. i reckon they should completely take it out of the game, its rubbish. just makes fights completely unfair, root should at least break if you get casted on, because at the moment its just too easy for casters, they just root and nuke nuke till we're dead.

oh well, when the realm abilities arrive me thinks i'll go for Purge, dispell all current magical effects on yerself, like root/mezz etc <grins>

when the realm abilities do come out, seriously casters are just gonna be totally doomed.

 

[old.Xarr]

not completely doomed mind you, just a fair bit screwed

but seriously tho, the casters gets some nice realm abilities too. complete power heal, bigger chance for critical hits with spells etc...

 

[Karam_gruul]

mm yea but we get insta heal, remove all magic effects, aoe 12 second root... want me to go on?

oh, and one of my favourites, the 60 second hit 50% faster skill, lol.... can u imagine? a polearm armsman hitting every 2.5 seconds?

oh dear oh dear

Root does break when you're casted on, just Mythic screwed up the timer so you can be chain rooted.

My point is I hate it too but for once we had root and were able to return the favor. Btw novamir not 30 of us later that night just 14 but a nice mix of classes. And the fights at the mid wall had even sized forces.

*sings*
When your rooted and you hate it clap your hands
When your rooted and you hate it clap your hands
When your rooted and you hate it,
When your rooted and you hate it,
When your rooted and you hate it clap your hands

hmm i dont think so. the other day i came up against a hib caster, one on one. he rooted me, then nuked me 6 times till i was dead. he didnt recast his root once. and he was the only one there..

You sure that was root and not stun/paralyze ?
Root/mezz breaks on 1st hit, however stun and paralyze doesn't (not 100% sure about paralyze)

I don't think hib caster have root,but all of them have stun

 

[Aeiedil]

nope hib casters dont get root they all get stun though hehe and i think one of the dd's has a snare effect but thats about it oh and theres a mez in the light line

 

[Exiled]

 

[old.Meganuke]

dmgspells break root, debuffs and non lethal spells dont

whats paralyze? is it another name for stun??

 

[Danya]

At least one hib gets root because I have been hit by it, I think it's enchanters.

And yes paralyse = stun.

 

[ceixava]

only root in hib is on druids

and yes, chainrooting sucks arse

 

[Karam_gruul]

Prolly paralize or something then. they all look the same to me

 

[old.strondor]

mez, root, stun, paralyse, whatever, the rule SHOULD be the same for all: further damage should BREAK it and chaining should be nerfed!

I say this even tho im a mezzer / freezer myself. Currently the rules and exceptions are all over the place and there is no logical explanation for it.

GOA sort it now b4 evryone just gets so peed off with it that they just dump DAOC altogether.

A universal "break mez etc" rule would encourage discipline and some balance back to RvR.

 

[Danya]

Chaining is meant to be nerfed, but they screwed up root.
As for breaking, well stun is meant to be no break but that's because it's short and non-AoE.

no hib casters get root
the only class in hib that gets root are droods
elds get a dd with a snare effect, prehaps that is what he hit you with.

Was definitely a root, must have been a druid (I play mana eldritch I know what the snare is like ).

 

[Insurrextion]

healers have a castable 11-sec (i think) AoE stun

 

[old.Miss]

Druids brake my mez
They can be an albs best friend sometimes...

 

[Brennik]

Try castable and instant, plus castable and instant aemezz. And the instas are on 10 min timer...

 

[old.Veeshan]

Root get on 1minute rule ( like mez /stun now )
in next patch
p.s duh what i gonna do with all these skald then

 

[nju]

Get yer ass kicked?

Karam.. you are seriously fekked up. Whenever you get mezzed/rooted/outnumbered/killed/owned (which must happen a lot)- you come and whine. I guess your idea of perfect RvR is that you walk up to everyone and 1-shot them to death without that they can harm you?
