Daedric Tomb rooting through Snow Treaders on permablock tanks

SkaraMinoc · January 30

Snow Treaders is important on a permablock build so you can walk out of siege and negates.

It's supposed to work like this.

Because Daedric Tomb is a cleansable root.

But it doesn't always work for permablock tanks with lots of incoming damage and negative effects.

Something is wrong with Snow Treaders. It should have prevented the root from Daedric Tomb.

You can cleanse the root after it's applied. Snow Treaders should prevent it.

If not daedric tomb, what immobilization should be able to stop snow treaders?

It's not working right for permablock tanks using Unstoppable with lots of incoming damage and negative effects.

Can someone explain to me in some very easy words what is the aim of such builds other then to be annoying?
Really, explain it like you would to a baby with very little comprehension skills.

Standing on a ram in Cyrodiil. Tying up a small zerg giving your faction some breathing space. Destroying enemy sieges. Fishing in Imperial City.

Pros

Destroying enemy siege. A block tank can singlehandedly defend a keep from small enemy groups.
Provide ram and siege shield
Cleanse oils and cold fire off friendly players during sieges
Healing friendly players with ground hots
Rezzing friendly players during sieges
Standing on flags to prevent them from being captured
Ball groups can't kill you. This has many benefits.
Creating a distraction for enemy players that aren't smart enough to walk past
As a mini game, see how many players it takes to kill you. Tweak your build, repeat.

Cons

No damage
Ult battery for enemy players

Some snares and roots in PvE can't be cleansed.

Try cold fire and meatbags. They do a good job of stopping block tanks.

Snake in the Stars and the Arcanist ultimate hit hard and completely bypass block. A small group can kill a permablock tank.
