Well, best I can tell it is NOT consistent, but:

root will be broken if you are already playing selo's, and you get a 'luck
roll'
... if you start selo's and get a REALLY 'lucky roll'

most of the time though, i have been rooted by ghouls and have not been able
to break it via selo's
I know of at least 3 times in the last 2 weeks that it HAS broken root (I am
moving, but root icon is still on display)

They may have put in some code to make it highly unlikely to break root, but
still possible. Would this fall under GZ's statement about 5% to 95% chance
rule, maybe? There might be some chance to break root, but not 100% as was
the case some time ago.

Anyone out there (John Kim?) wanna test this theory? I don't get enough
play time to do much testing :( Been playing since about the 3rd day of
release, and am still only level 19.
