Bug Druid skill root not working

[Nashah]

Last night I tried using root to save a town members from a slime one time and a spider the next time, root didn't stop either of them. Thought it might simply be because they are hopping enemies that it doesn't work on them. Today though I have used it on both a zombie and a witch, they were both able to continue on uninterrupted. They didn't stop or slow down even for a moment.

Edit: Just got poisoned by a witch and then used antidote on myself. The damage stopped but I kept the poison debuff with my hearts staying yellow. It's been like this for a few minutes now when it should have normally worn off anyways. I haven't played a druid before so I don't know if this is how it usually goes.

EditEdit: Now my root has started working again. Odd, I wasn't lagging before or anything.

The antidote thing has been around for a while, in my experience if you cast it a second time it gets rid of the bug

Tried casting it a second time after the timer ran out and it didn't disappear for me. Perhaps I have to cast it a second time soon afterwards. I will try that next time.

Don't think root skills work on mobs, sucks kinda but isn't all that bad. Better to safe mana for dmg/heals etc imo.

Roots are less effective on mobs. The best you get is a large slow.

They all use different code for mobs. Unfortunately we couldn't really copy the same logic we use for players.

Alright good to know The weird thing is that once in a while it does root a zombie in place. Though if the zombie is on fire it does nothing to them.
