Mechanics

Resist Chance

Each point of the target's Magic Resist adds 0.05% to its chance to resist this debuff. Each 1% of the caster's Accuracy subtracts 1% from that chance. Each level the target is above the caster adds 0.5%, and each level below subtracts 0.5%, up to 10% either way. The chance stays between 0% and 90%. See resistance and avoidance.

This debuff has no effect on monsters whose pages list Immune to Debuffs.

Root

Root stops movement and does not break when the target takes damage. Every 2 seconds, a rooted monster rolls to break free. Each point of its Magic Resist adds 0.1% to that chance, which stays between 5% and 95%. A rooted NPC has a 10% chance to break free every second. Bosses and elite monsters always resist this debuff. A rooted monster still attacks and casts at targets within its reach.
