Earth pet's root lands way too much

Alright, lets break this down.

The lowest level any class can get the spell Endure Magic is 19. So pre level 20, mages have free reign to kill anyone they want. This is, of course, assuming that a 20 MR buff that can be dispelled will save you, which, given the current resist modifier on the earth pet's root, I'm betting won't unless its a pet much lower level than you.

Do you know why mages weren't given root? Because their damage output between their pet and nukes is insane. If they have a reliable CC like root at any given time, there is no reason to play any other class.

Just because you dont have endure magic doesnt mean you can't root/fear/snare/mez/etc.

lol @ "Free reign to kill whoever they want" if that was so I assure you I would've been corpse camped many times.

I usually opened up PvP with a blind on the mage, fear on the pet then root the mage and nuke them down while casting additional blinds on the mage and additional roots/fear on the pet.

Really not that complicated considering MOST casters get at least root/snare/fear/mez/blind or some spells along those lines.
