Knockdown stun + root exploit

Domander · June 2014

This is a request for a fix for this commonly exploited bug. When you are rooted you are supposed to be able to roll out of it (if you have the stamina), when you are knockdown stunned you are supposed to be able to cc break it (also if enough stamina, and a lot of stamina at that). When someone uses them both together (Ahem, shield charge + talons for example, this is the one commonly used on me anyway) for some reason the root prevents you from being able to CC break, also you lay there for the duration. This has been around for a while now, wondering if/when it will be fixed.

I think I've seen other posts about this, would of thought it to be fixed by now.

They just need allow to break roots with LMB+RMB instead of roll

No, the OP is correct. If you use these abilities quickly (or virtually simultaneously via macro/n52) the CC is unbreakable. ZOS nerfed one of my posts when I called out a particular DK in a particular guild for constantly doing it.

Its the order you do it in too. If you stun then root it works a lot better than if you root then stun.

There is another bug similar to this one (potentially related). If you are in the middle of casting a placable AoE (Caltrops, Volcanic Rune, Seige, ect), and are stunned before you place it down, you are premanently rooted in place once you get out of stun.

I've bugged it before but it's fairly easily repeatable. The only way I know how to get out of it is to recast the AoE you were going to place and it unroots you. Odd I know.
