It seems like it should have been removed in that patch, but it evidently wasn't. On that note, please change root back so it doesn't always last its full duration. That's absolutely ridiculous. It currently doesn't have a chance to break early unless broken by damage (which doesn't seem particularly common either) and that just doesn't work at all together with the altered resist system that makes root land more than it did on live. Taking a 30+ second root is automatic death for a melee, and the fact that they have an ok chance of landing makes root-spamming the winning strategy in group PvP. This was brought up repeatedly during the beta. Root in EQ was specifically coded so that it could break early, and usually would if the target had good MR. This was because a full-duration root is absolutely gamebreaking and should never happen to anyone geared for PvP.
