    of course you can, I do it all the time, just some mobs (bosses and stronger mobs) are somehow immune, but that does not matter so much, they all die :smiley:

    They don't stay rooted after the first cast of it though.

    this ability is bad now, it was OP and broken in PVP but its not worth it now


    Instead they should have made it like this : Rooting should happen after x seconds even if spamming and slowed targets shouldn't be a parameter for blocking this root. Instead give immunity to this specific root for x seconds again after first root. For example every 5seconds. Zos failure here again. Dks or sorcs don't have a problem root spamming.

    If you want to use it as an aoe, immobilize won't happen but only at first hit.

    In PVP if enemies are snared by caltrops or whatever, you won't root any1.


    Currently: Enemies already snared cannot be immoblized. Lmao this is like saying just pick up the other morph for some extra poison dmg.

    The bombard-nurf was done half-a..ed.. Instead of re-working, or adding, a soft-cc immunity timer, they just nurfed 1 skil (...). They did not touch Encase or Talons.. They did not touch chain-slow/root.
    Instead, they just nurfed one single skill because some whiners (1-10 ppl) kept whining.

    The way they did this nurf is a further proof of incompetence of the balance-team...

    Usually I start with Endless Hail and then bombard and it works as intended with mobs being immobilized at place.
    The only issue is to correctly aim in movement, need to point bow in a right direction, a bit too far and the cone does not cover all mobs. But I like the ability, especially that it often makes critical hits with extra dmg from Viper set :).

    Yeah, they are immobilized for 2 seconds, and then never again. That doesn't take into account anybody else in your party using any other form of snare on them.

    Just use acid spray
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    They could have kept permaroot in pve and make it snare only in pvp. It would have uses in both (tho probably would still be unpopular in pvp). Right now it is 2sec root in pve, then never again and no root ever in pvp.

    That's all well and good, but the DoT is useless in PvP where the nerf to Bombard was meant to effect.

    Either way, nothing good is going to happen to this skill or anything else bow related for a long time. Not enough people play bow to matter to ZOS. They've seen to that pretty well.
