Game Mechanics: Ghost roots causes reduced dot damage

[Tann]

While killing some more ogre guards I noticed that even if not in combat yet, if the npc was moving prior to being rooted this bug can be replicated:

• Bouncer Hurd wandering along patrol path (not aggro'd) > casted root > DoT DoT > Hurd's health drops 3% per tick.
• Bouncer Hurd wandering along patrol path (not aggro'd) > casted root (resisted) > he gets into melee > re-root > back up DoT DoT > Hurd's health drops 5% per tick.

We appear to have fixed this pending further testing. Rooting a mob immediately removes the damage penalty and doesn’t require melee engagement. I will confirm once testing is completed.

Confirmed fixed pending update, at least the damage is fixed. Ghost roots visually still are happening from time to time.

Thank you Telin

Any ETA on when this fix will be pushed? Still ongoing that NPCs take reduced dot damage until you let them get in combat range to swing.
