Game Mechanics: Mage: Earth pet will not Root a Player with Sow.

[Azu]

so now that i reached 49 i wanted to test out the resist rate on mage pet roots on players with high and low Magic Resistance. anyways when i went to test this with the 49 mage pet.. he simply would not root my level 50 druid friend, at all. he didnt even try to. we let it melee him for around 10 mins total time, he even tried kiting it just out of melee range for a while. nothing, he wouldn't even try and root. so at first i thought, "ok maybe its levitate," but he still wouldn't root.

so out of curiosity i guess he removed his Sow, and right away the pet attempted to root again like he normally would. so to make sure this was the case he cast sow on himself again, and once again the pet stopped attempting to root.

so it would appear earth pets will not attempt to root a player with sow.

here's what i think it is. or maybe has something to do with it. a Earth pet will not attempt to root a target that is already rooted. he just wont bother. be it his own root spell or another players. I believe that the pet is thinking that "sow" is a root, and there for not attempting to root his target if it has Sow.

Please look into this if possible, ty =)
