So when are you going to do something about caltrops?

It says 30% slow on my bar but whenever i get hit its a 100% root and im dead short after. This this thing is kinda stupid, considering the big aoe it has. It has to go if you want good pvp. Its not like you have to be a specifik class and role to get it.. EVERYONE can get it, so its just spammed like no other.

Its strategy sir. But to each their own. Its used to control enemy routes. Either avoid it or use rapid maneuvers or purge maybe? Or roll through it quick.

Nerf tank blocking! Nerf caltrops! I wanna one-shot everything without taking damage from anyone because I don't want to change my build setup (says the squishy glass cannons that always get their way)! This is getting ridiculous.

And no, I'm not a stam DK tank. I'm a magicka NB siphon tank who can't afford to perma-block even now.

Are you sure it's Caltrops that kills you? It does very low damage, so it's hard to kill someone only with that skill. Maybe you get killed by something like:
Caltrops => Ambush => Soul Tether => Steel Tornado, but then Caltrops is not the main reason why you died.

Caltrops is fine. I see nothing wrong with it. It must be something else you're being hit by.

Im sure you know what im talking about. Im not talking 1v1, its zergs rushing others with this skill on multiple members.

your zerg runs straight into some enemies and cast kaltrops, then proceed and slaughter them because they cant move. It suppost to be a snare but it seems to stack when many cast it so its actually a perma root and wont even let the enemy cast spells and its covers a huge area.. Its not the damage of the skill that kills you but its the whole problem.

Forcing everyone to run rappid manouver just kinda tells you this skill is beyond op.

In other realm vs realm games there have been area roots and mez but these were broken by damage, smaller area and only a handfull of classes had them, usually the support class.

In this game everyone can use caltrops and keep hitting the target until its dead and nothing he can do. Im rather surpriced its like this, ruins the pvp.

Razor caltrop's has a 70% movement debuff for 3 second's then goes to 30% for the remaining duration. This must be what your feeling.
