Skill: Earth Magic Glyph
Type: Active
Focus Cost: 10
Execution Time: 1 Second

Prerequisite Skills: Stone Fist (Level 10)

This skill reduces the movement speed on a single target. If the root is strong enough, it can immobilize the target (i.e. reduce its movement rate to zero). Duration of the root is increased by the caster having a higher earth attunement, a higher root skill level, a higher strength, and a higher earth specialization. The root duration is decreased by the target having a higher earth attunement and a higher strength.

Effect[edit]

  • Range: 20
  • -50% Fizzle Chance From Equipment
  • +20% Resist Crowd Control on the target for 30 seconds- Resist crowd control will stack if you stun/knockdown/mesmerize/root/knockback the target within 30 seconds of the previous stun/knockdown/mesmerize/root/knockback (i.e. the resist crowd control accumulates). Note: This crowd control effect is not stated in the Tooltip.

(effects increase with skill level, except Resist Crowd Control which remains constant)

Trivia[edit]

  • When first introduced for PvP in Release 7, players could not break root easily. Jumping was then changed to break root, at the expense of a small amount of Focus.
