Immobilize

[Kovu.7560]

Nobody above wood league dies to ranger pets.

 

Cut back on Druid's immobilization cheese and replace it with some relevant damage or actual team support options (that aren't heavily outclassed by other professions). Marks and traps should trigger on the roots, roots should have near 0 health and ancient seeds should flat out not exist (and be replaced by aforementioned team support or offensive supporting options). Alternatively, remove the roots of entangle (the elite) entirely and replace it with a visual effect of rooting with a single instance of 2s of unblockable (but still dodgeable) immobilize.

Druid is a meme at this point, and not even a funny one.

 

There is an immobilize-spamming elementalist build that could probably be looked at, too, but someone with more experience on the profession can touch on that.

Or just don’t play druid if you don’t like that playstyle? It’s hardly even worth running 90% over core of soulbeast imo. It’s a bunker counter cuz bunkers are slow and bulky and that’s how the game should be

This whole thread is just about creating counterplay to the immobilize, not removing it or altering it. No one and I mean NO ONE complained about Entangle until recently--you can be CC'd out of it super easily and prior to the stability nerfs people would walk or teleport out of it.

 

You might as well delete druid entirely because bads simply cannot handle this spec. Healing was too OP (despite being the goal of the spec) so it got nerfed, staff mobility was too OP got nerfed, and now ancient seeds is a problem because stability is now stackable instead of unlimited for a duration.

 

This forum is literally what gutted druid to begin with, now we have suggestions to give it 'damage' or 'support' back. How about...immobilize IS support, you're all dying to it, aren't you?
