Guild Wars 2

Could someone explain to me why Rune if the Grove has a 90s ICD on root? I mean druid has a 10s/20s ICD on ancient seed.
And why has Rune of Rata Sum a 90s ICD on the radiation field? Seriously the skill on its own has a lower CD.

Could Anet please Rework some runes like they did with the nightmare rune once ago?

Because rune of the grove is a root that lasts for 12 sec if not cleansed which can be upped with added condi duration aswell i believe.

I actually remember running grove as a troll rune on warri waay before Hot xpac,i got called a hacker for using a ranger elite skill..Best times.

Grove used to have a 180s CD …

Not quite sure how that’s supposed to explain it since a druid can root you for like 30 seconds…

Now think of that same druid with this rune on a shorter cd and you might understand why.

It’s a passive.
