fire staff, ice gauntlet and life staff are in this boat. The fact that people cannot recognize that this happened to all 3 through their selective bias is the reason why these awful balance changes continue to happen and won’t ever stop.
Balance is not an easy thing to achieve.
But what AGS are doing is like doing a brain surgery with a chainsaw, a spoon and no anesthetics.

IG/FS is WAY too broken. The nerf will fix the weapon to be balanced an is much needed.
This didn’t age well. Maybe next time try it on test or wait for the change notes
Did you read the patch notes? Jumping does negate it anymore.
Did he get hit in the back? Never run from GA if he’s on you. Back damage I nasty in this game.
doesnt matter now since you cant heavy freeze anymore anyways since they increased the casttime for heavys and its longer than the root now. you can literally just walk out now and be fine.
also the jump out thing was a good mechanic. anything that seperates good from bad players is good. this is just another example on how they simplify the game by removing every single skill/knowledge element from it that they find.
the game needs to be made harder, alot harder, not easier.
who really cares now tho. we lost another 100k concurrent players at peak time this week. with this upcoming tragedy of a patch and endwalker launching next friday and new WoW classic servers on the horizon this game will be down to <10k players in less than a month. from there its max 2 months till shutdown
WTF are you talking about? Jumping has NEVER cancelled roots. And the patch notes do not mention anything about that.
Stop spreading mis-information.
Jumping does NOT break roots. Stop spreading mis-information.
yes it does…
you can simply jump out of ice shower. you can also jump out of gravity well.
try it before you talk nonsense on the forum about stuff that is confirmed and every good player knows about since like over a month.
Thats called complete non-sense lies and made-up by garbage players who believe everything they read online, and do zero testing themselves.
You literally cannot jump out of roots, and you can’t jump out of gravity well either.
Stop talking BS.
and this is the exact problem of this game. clueless trolls like this are allowed to talk on the forum and are even beeing listened to. literally too stupid to press spacebar.
Wow nice rebuttal, so are you going to show a video proving that you can jump out of roots and gravity well?
I would love to see you fail at that. So sad that 5 year old fortnite gamers are playing this game pretending they are better than everyone else and refuse to believe opposing facts.
im not argueing with a noob. its a fact that you can. everyone remotely good in the game knows and uses it. try for urself if you dont believe it. its been known and reported.
but yea thx for further proving my point that ppl like you should not be allowed to post on the forum.
Ok keep believing silly lies on the internet. If you ever want to get good at the game, read my posts because I tell accurate information about the game.
There is arealdy. Check Xaryu PTR video, there is plenty of memes of people jumping out of ice shower (cause this mechanic is so shit that I just think it’s a meme).
Also, you can always download it and test it yourself.
ok troll.
stay bad
from these patch notes it’s clear that the devs don’t play anything other that great axe
I have watched that video, and it is very misleading. When you root someone, they are rooted for 1 second. All he shows is people jumping “out of” a root, 1 second later, which is when they are no longer rooted. So they literally are not jumping “out of” a root, they are just jumping after the root has ended already.
Xaryu is literally just a twitch streamer and should not be taken as the bible of how to play as mage just because he has a bunch of twitch viewers. Don’t take everything he says or shows as fact before testing yourself.
Do you even play new world?
Jumping simple ignore: slows, frostbite, root and the list goes on.
Frostbite prevents you from dodging and slows you, you shouldn’t be able to ignore it by jumping.
