Monster Not In Range While Rooted
 

Title says it all. On my 16 war, priest mob roots me, not in attack range to hit him but he hits me for the ~45 seconds I am rooted.

Pure bullshit.

If this is how it was in classic, fuck it. It makes no sense to give priest mobs a 45 second immunity.

thanks for you expert analysis there, I really benefitted from reading it...

its probably something to do with hitbox size. or theres a bug at work...see here....

Same thing happens with the low level named sister in OOT. Nadia Driftwood?

I noticed this a couple of times whilst fighting Nadia. During 'loading, please wait...' (yes the 'bug' got me killed) I had time to think. Both times the issue occurred when she rooted me on a hill and then ran into her melee range of me.

I think it must be due to a difference in how distances on the Z axis (the up/down) are measured, perhaps for PCs distances are measured as a straight line, whereas for NPCs, perhaps there are separate checks for the horizontal plane to the vertical axis?

This happens to me a lot. I get rooted and the mob can still whack me, even though I can't whack it. Also, I'm an ogre, should have longer reach, but whatever.

If you are rooted for a really long time you can try /rewind, sometimes this will drop you in melee range.
