Any armor, weapon or equipment sets that can deal with roots and stuns?

I really like to solo dungeons and generally do well, but I've run into this one place that just constantly roots my character in place, I cannot move for more than one full second before I get re-rooted. It means I keep taking damage and burn all my magicka and stamina on break free and self heals.

Is there equipment bonuses out there that can drastically mitigate this that anyone knows about?

    Dauntless Combatant gives you an automatic Break Free once every 20 seconds, and Way of the Arena reduces Break Free cost by 40% - both crafted.

    Indomitable Fury and Unchained Aggressor both give you buffs after Breaking Free, but the above 2 are probably closest to what you're after. Robes of the Hist, Light Shadowfen set, gives you a heal when hit with a CC effect. Battlefield Acrobat, and any similar set, I think would reduce the cost of Break Free, but I'm not sure. There's also Shield of the Valiant, but it's AP Coffers and only Medium. Next patch there's Aetherial Ascension, crafted, which reduces all defensive maneuvers by 25%.

    Keep in mind though there are some dungeon CCs that I'm pretty sure make it impossible to solo. I could be wrong about that. If you mention which spot I'm sure somebody knows.

    I am also curious. What's the mechanic that's rooting you, OP?

    Thanks for the suggestions, @Urzigurumash in particular some very juicy info there, I'll check it out.

    I can't remember off the top of my head, it's Meridia's Orb in a place called Garam Marsala or something (an Imperial fort built on top of Ayleid ruins in western Anvil).

    Depths of Malatar

    It slowly spawns Aurorans, first one, then two, then three at a time, probably a fourth at the end. One of the Aurorans that spawns (or perhaps its empowering orb?) does this ice root thing which just keeps reapplying itself over and over again.

    I'm able to do a decent job of staying mobile and kind of "cheesing" the fight a bit by standing directly on top of meridia's orb in the center of the Ayleid well and just circling around, that is until I get to the part where they are just constantly rooting me, then it's gg within 60 second or so because my resource bars just can't keep up.

    Thanks again :)
