GS relentless rush root bug

[ligma1]

• What is your character name in New World: r41
• What server/world did you experience your issue on: ygg
• Describe the issue you are experiencing: Greatsword with onslaught stance on using relentless rush roots a target. However the target cannot dodge during the root application, making it different than other roots in the game. The tooltip doesn’t specify that mechanic, and its clearly a gamebreaking bug. This brings us back to the time when you couldn’t dodge in roots, and screws the entire outplay possibility because you can’t outplay the heavy coming from 5 metres after relentless rush. Worst, if two or three GS’s chain adaptive rush you cant dodge for 2-3 seconds.
• Is this a bug? yes
• (if a bug) How did the issue affect your gameplay: Lost a couple duels to absolute shitstains.
• (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: ???
• (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
• What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: equip a greatsword, pick relentless rush and adaptive rush. GO in onslaught and use relentless rush, whoever you root can’t dodge for the full duration of the root. No diminishing returns either^.
• When did this happen? its not a one off bug.

Onslaught Relentless Rush Root is Bugged

Relentless Rush when in Onslaught inflicts a root on you as a player, but you are rendered incapable of dodging. This is the only root in the game that is bugged and prevents your character from moving altogether. Also, blocking Relentless Rush inflicts a slow on you (nice) and blocking the initial hit from Skyward Slash inflicts Rend and Disease on you (very cool). Please fix these issues.

Surprise, surprise, this never got fixed. Getting rooted by 5 meter spinning hitboxes which set up 4-5k heavy attacks is not fun. This weapon has busted damage and broken game mechanics. Seriously needs to get fixed, deserves to be addressed on PTR because of how infuriating this situation is since you are damned if you block and damned if you don’t.

Yeah, i noticed this too, relentless rush root is working like the old root (no dodges) and i also don t seem to get the “escape dodge” from consecutives GS staggers like i do with other weapons.
