I did some tests today: EE 82 vs DA 82, both fully epic, with FI talisman (Leader) and NM set.
When I tested against Doom, about 1 or 2 out of every 10 roots landed, so Doom doesn’t work well against root.
But against NM, it was very RNG-dependent: sometimes it worked on the 5th try, but other times I landed around 36 roots and only 1 worked.
When I tested against Mental Shield and Prophecy, in some cases I used all my MP and not a single root landed.
So, considering that most classes don’t have Mental Shield or debuff resistance skills, if you get rooted within the first 10 attempts, it’s basically just bad luck.
Also, it can be removed with Core, Liberate, and Denials.
The server has only two strong EEs, and Titans have around two minutes of immunity. Necros can also recharge their MP.
Until last month, TK was almost unbeatable— even Necros and summoners were outperformed by him.
He used to rush into EEs, and it was really hard to keep them alive because of his high damage and full aggression.
Nobody was complaining back then; now Necros, sumonera and TKs just have one more competitor.
