They also nerfed root. I leveled in HPK for most of 52 to now. I have never had a root resist or early break. Today, it did a handful of times on low blue and green mobs.

I hope this is true. Root has been stupidly overpowered here forever.

It looks like the AC changes basically made it a bigger part of the overall mitigation equation than level was (which was obviously the biggest factor in play). I'm going to do some testing later on and see...

Ding ding ding ding ding.

We have a winner boys and girls!

That is exactly what is going on. It was horribly messed up with level difference making too much of impact.

Thanks for the confirmation, H [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Now, the question for me is whether this makes my melee alts solo more or less effectively vs low dark blues...

Does it work the same way for NPCs, too? Like if I'm fighting something 10 levels above me that is a caster, will it be easier for me to hit them now?

And you never saw a problem with this? Root NEVER breaking early or being resisted?

Praise to HPH, some of us really miss the old EQ game mechanics and challenge. This patch is yet another step forward.

Pras. Charm is also ridiculous as shit.

This. It was absolutely broken. I went two full levels with only two resists and all of my other paralyzing earth casts lasting full duration. I was basically rooting, dotting, and then completely ignoring my monitor.
