Root! Buged?

[FetishStar]

 Okay I've shruged this off enough and now i'm thinking it's a bug but no one has reported it? or S.O.E has never fixed it?   When I use root, it fears the mob.... it goes INTO the walls and drags all kinds of other stuff out side with it... not cool.Or it will disappear into the ground and hit you, but you cant find it to hit it back, makes gruoping hard because everyone thinks/knows it's your fear root.........<sigh>can this please be fixed?Gonna /bug this in game now and hopfully it will be fixed.

The fear part is not a bug, that is part of the spell, but you may have not ment that part, so figured I would just say it to be sure. Now the part about them going into walls and through floors, that is a bug, and isn't just limited to a spell result. If you want to see this bug at its beast go into deathfist, you will get mobs hitting you that you never saw, and will get adds that were not visible. You can easly loose 2 people before you even realize something is going on, because you will be fighting the only mob you see, and think you have everything under control, while another unseen mob is killing your casters.

Edit:  Lol. I just saw the post date.  Ok, the warlock boards need more activity.  Didn't realize that the 4th or 5th thread down on the front page was a month old.  /smacks head

not sure if it was the same bug or not but blackburrow was the worst, half the time the mobs wouldn't show up

[Efrath]

Am I the ONLY one that have mobs running TOWARDS ME when they get the fear on them after the root expires or triggers off?

<p>no, most of the time they run towards you</p> <p>the snare on the fear is whats its good for.</p>
