Ok well no matter what the odds are on any given mob the numbe of chances to have the root break my be lower now but the number of possible nukes to land on the mob is WAY lower. Lets assume for ease of calcualtion that the average cast time for a nuke is 3s with a 1 second cool down. Prior to this update we could in theory have cast 72s/ 4s = 18 Nukes, now we are able to get 30s / 4s = 7.5 nukes on single mobs, and 48/ 4 = 12 on group rooted mobs now is 20/ 4 = 5. While we are at it the devs are always saying that our pictures aren't 100% accurate to the actual effect and myself i'm noticing my nukes breaking roots far quicker then they used to. shorter roots also seriously hurt our ablity to solo and deal with adds because instead of being able to root one and deal with the other we now have to try and deal with them both. Even if you are able to root the add and deal with the other your going to be having to go back and re root often to keep it rooted draging the fight out and with the shortened duration the mana cost for each cast has remained the same. If i'm having to cast the root 3 times to get the same durration at the same mana cost i'm using 3x the mana to get the same effect.
