When im playing on my Ele there are things that will perma root me and I wont be allowed to move.
1. Canceling a build in WvW such as a Ram. I will be rooted inside the Ram unable to move
2. Using Fire staff #4 Burning Retreat. Sometimes if I use this and immediately try to move it will lock me in place. I cant move, jump, dodge, or anything. If I wait until it comes off of cooldown and use it again it will unroot me but why should I have to do that?
I think there are others but these are the ones I know will sometimes cause me to stay rooted in place. I can still cast spells but I am not allowed to move. It happens often enough to be really annoying.
