We have made some changes to the way movement enhancement/reduction works.
Essentially, Root and Snare are now completely different spells. This means
that Root will suppress snare, but it will not overwrite it. That's the
primary change. But there is also a side effect to this change.
Bard songs will no longer break root. Root will also suppress songs that
enhance movement.
We are aware that this will be seen as a 'nerf'. However, I'm pretty sure
that most of you understood that bard songs were never intended to break
root, and this is, in fact, essentially a bug fix.

It is pretty bad when I read something like this and think "Great, now our
chaining songs are going to be messed up because they forgot to test it on
bards".

One thing this does demonstrate is that "movement" type spell effects can be
segregated...so why can they move bard song into a class of its own?

Also, I really dont consider this a nerf since Verant has been saying for 2
years that bard songs should NOT break root.
