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 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.

Heal on Hit

Anyone who hits the affected target in melee heals 10% of the hit's damage at rank 8, rounded. Healing counts damage absorbed by the target's Ward.

Applies to non-spell melee skills with a base range below 2 yd. Multiple healing effects add together.

Rounded means to the nearest whole number. Exact halves go to the even number, so 2.5 becomes 2.
