What in the world is rooting me in place and throwing my group in the air?

Last night I was in a fight in Cyrodiil with another player one on one. She kept rooting me in place for I'd say 2 or 3 seconds and I could not break free, roll or anything. Neither of us could kill the other one and the main reason I couldn't kill her was due to this. I'd get her down to almost nothing and she'd hit me with that. I tried timing it but she was using it to get herself a few seconds to heal up. We finally just gave up and we each walked away.
What spell do you think she was using? One of the new scribing skills? Would an immobility pot have worked?
11/8/2024 Adding something new. Ok now something else that is new. Last night my group was in Cyrodiil and we kept getting tossed in the air when fighting with AD, then when we landed we were stuck for a second. I was healing and it made it almost impossible. It was happening over and over at several keeps. I could see other people not in our group having the same thing happen to them. I thought it might be triggering off of siege weapons or something as it was happening to me so often and no way anyone could target that many players all at once. This went on even when we moved to another keep and during one fight out in the open away from any keep. I've not seen this before nor had anyone in my group. It pretty much made PVP unplayable. Any ideas? A new set? Or an old one?

If you mean graphics wise there was a small circle on the ground around me that was blue just a little larger than my character and it caused my character to crouch low to the ground like he was kneeling. It was for a significant length of time.1 -

Interesting. I don’t recall ever seeing something like that if it was just a circle. Maybe a scribing skill?PC/NA Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS/Heal), Trialist (DPS/Tank/Heal), and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore- CP 2000+

That's my thought also. I haven't tried searching for any scribing skill that does that yet. It was pretty effective although I didn't try a pot to get free however my character was like just plain frozen, could not move at all.0 -

✭✭could be a specific combination for contingency.
iirc contingency has an affix that makes it an AoE around the target instead of centered around the caster, paired with immovability or stun focus that could potentially be what you experienced.0 -

Quite possibly, she wasn't able to do much damage. Maybe her build was built around it. It would have been pretty effective is she was in a group as base my play off of roll dodging and line of sight. With that a group could easily have sent me to the grave.0 -
Quackery✭✭✭✭✭Likewise!! But mine stayed on for 5 seconds, unable to play the game at all!! It happened in the sewers where I had almost killed a nightblade, only to find myself unable to play the game. What in the actual living hell is this?!? HOW AND WHY DID ZOS IMPLEMENT AN ABILITY TO MAKE YOU NOT ABLE TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME?!?!!?
This is beyond stupid!0 -

✭✭✭✭Isn't there supposed to be some sort of root immunity? The stacking of control effects has players being multi rooted then double pulled into a hard stun, no immunity at any point, just watching your character get ragdolled to death.PC/NA || CP/Cyro || RIP soft caps0 -
I think something like snowtreaders or immobility pots can help but I believe there are some stuns/rooting that they can't be used against.0 -

Root immunity is a joke. Most skills only give immunity for 4 seconds - that's hardly any time at all, especially if the person spamming roots is following up the root with a stun.
Get rooted -> hit RAT -> get stunned -> break free -> you only have like 1.5s of root immunity left.1 -

Looks like Ufsild's Contingency with Immobilize and Growing Impact.

Yeah, that's why I never understand the posts that are asking for nerfs to immunity. Like, nobody enjoys being permanently CC'd. Apart from the players whose only function in PvP is to run around spamming Bombard, etc.1
