[Colgate]

never seen this happen before

There is a goldmine of data out there.

I am going through old parses now prior to the big pop nerf.

Have made some changes to client AC, and looking great compared to parses. Boosts are mainly 51+.

Also have made changes for clients vs npcs, getting a bump in dps. This is to make up for reduction in double attack and dual weild rates.

I am lowering the debuff bonus to 50%. Current Root cap is at 90. Havent decided where to take it. With debuf consideration I am thinking 80 or 70. Maybe split diff and go for 75.

Doing parses and comparing to old data.

The AC improvements are looking good at first glance. Did about 4 hrs of parsing so far. Mostly with a monk so far. Get that AC up and they are beasts.

I hope the AC changes look good in PvP. Will take a lot more parsing to see.

AC changes and hitbox changes have put melees much more in line with how strong they're supposed to be

when the root/snare/blind/stun/mez/debuff situation gets fixed, the only real glaring issue i see remaining is that rogue poisons are landing like crazy

[Haynar]

Already tweaked the poison resists. Havent tested yet though.

4 hrs of researching data, web pages, posts. 2 hrs of planning, calculations. Plotting charts and values in spreadsheets. 2 hrs of various code changes. 20 hrs of testing and parses.

Now thats what we call fun boys and girls.

Just wanted to add my findings, non-scientific and anecdotal as they are.

I was bard-kiting in LoIO today, level 54. I was kiting mid-20s Goblins/Sarnaks/Iksar/everything.

The casters would continually try to dispel and root. Root stuck WAY more often than I would have thought.

Kiting ~70 mobs with ~15-20 casters.

~100MR (resist gear) ... I was getting rooted every 2nd or 3rd root cast.
~150MR (resist gear + GRM) ... I was getting rooted every 3rd or 4th cast.
~190MR (resist gear + GRM + bard song) ... I was getting rooted every 4th or 5th cast.

Those numbers seem way off to me for a level 54 to have mobs ~30 levels lower landing spells that often with that much MR.

These casts didn't last very long, 1-4 ticks at most, but either way, they shouldn't be sticking in the first place.

[Nirgon]

Root spells (all of them in their line, minus Tunare's) should be extremely easy to resist. Call it 70mr from even con target = no roots/snares.

So last night I was in LoIO again, and its the goblins there.

I had >200MR from GRM/resist gear/bard song, and at level 54, I was having root stick on me from level 20s mobs.

This HAS to be broken.

[Fysts]

Root is broken. Got rooted at level 60 by a level 30 frog in lower guk. Firstly no spell they cast should land, yet their root was landing almost every time. Dunno if its because its an innate proc or what.
