Until April 2000 era, druid/ranger root line's dd component could break the root
This was fixed/patched in April, 2000. Up until this point, the dd component of the druid/ranger root lines had a chance to break the root just like a nuke would.

Well, it really was a thing. Instead of being dangerous to use where castermobs were being mezzed, those roots were also very unreliable against mobs that were relatively magic resistant (including basically every mob >= the caster's level.) So, when the moving target dot damage nerf went in druids got extra whiny because their roots sucked. Verant, of course, insisted that everything was "working as intended" for months and months until somebody competent actually looked at the code.

This plus the Ensnare fix (it had a chance to break randomly like root also until April 2000) would really change the Druid meta in the early server. They'd be more classic and less dominant.

Consider how many years taunt was broken to whites and up (except at level 60), or that bash stun did not create hate similar to spell stun (this was what was intended but never acknowledged as broken until Dragons of Norrath) then almost every death in a group due to tank losing aggro could have got a GM rez if these bugs had been ‘confirmed’ before they got addressed | |||
