Notes[edit]

  • The skill traps up to five enemies around the user with destructible roots that inflict damage, bleeding and immobilized every 1.5 seconds.
  • Despite the tooltip, the initial attack of skill can be blocked, and if it is blocked, the vines won't be spawned on the blocking foe.
  • Foes with breakbars will be able to move out of the roots rendering the skill useless; furthermore, enemy players can avoid the roots and secondary effects by teleporting, condition cleansing, and resistance buff and afterwards moving away from the roots.
  • The direct damage does not vary or scale with power or damage modifiers, although it is increased by vulnerability. This is because the direct damage is inflicted by the roots themselves rather than the caster.
The tooltip says the skill deals damage 4 times, but it actually hits 5 times for a total of 635 damage.
