Ok, if someone wants to reply to him, just point out how many times they
"fixed" the druid/ranger/ebony bladed sword root with damage spell and how
they swore up and down that it was fixed each time.
"The root does damage and breaks the root as soon as it is cast"
"We fixed it"
This went on for 2-3 passes of looking at that spell. They don't have a good
track record of properly recognizing the problems we point out as players
are real.
