When do root and snare start to stack?
 

I'm 99% sure they stacked in Velious, because I've got very clear memories of rooting and snaring mobs back then. But I'm not positive, and not sure when during Velious it happened, other than being sure it was definitely in by Luclin. Anyone know?

By the start of Velious

About 1 month after Velious is released.

*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.

hmmmm so from that patch note selo shoudl break root, which doesnt..!

To the patch cave !

Surprised it was so late, I guess it just felt earlier because Velious was sooner on Classic timeline.
