Roots working as intended?

[Ephram]

I noticed today in WSG that I cannot dispel a druids Roots effect. This IS a magical effect right? Shouldn't I be able to dispel it?

[Skafloc]

Nope.. trinket.. or a gnome. or some nature resist. Thats about it really I think..

[Malakim]

blessing of freedom will do it

roots is a trap i think...or a slow effect. Dispeling magic only dispels the caster for 2seconds (making them silent) and the mana tap..well...you know that.

dispeling to me is like *SLAP!!!* "no cast fo yuu!!!" (EDIT: oh wait, its "joo"...gotta get it right :P)

You are thinking of Arcane Torrent or other silencing effects. I am talking about a priests Dispel.

I can Dispel sheep, hunters traps, Fear, DoTs (not curse of agony), HoTs, buffs, debuffs, etc. If its a "magical" effect, I can dispel it...except for roots for some odd reason.

Roots is a magic effect, it should be able to be removed with Dispel Magic. May want to submit a ticket about it or someting.
