They stole my Improved Hamstring!

Is it 8 sec in pvp as well?

Comment by Nitweed

Seems a bit overpowered for pvp to me in theory (as i've never used it in pvp yet). You can use the snare from the ability to apply the root, which is not removed from damage, allowing you to keep the target rooted for 14 seconds provided they don't break it. After the root cannot be applied due to diminishing returns, you can still keep the snare applied indefinitely because of the minuscule cost and lack of cool-down, provided they stay in melee range.

Please correct me if i'm wrong, i've been wondering about wether or not what i've said is entirely true.

This is implied in the tooltip, but I just thought I'd make this clear:
Unlike the warrior ability Improved Hamstring from the Cataclysm expansion, the root effect of Disable does not have an internal cooldown. This means you can root one target, then root a different target immediately afterward (only one can be rooted at a time, of course).

Comment by Gadzilla

Root effect lasts 3 seconds versus players in PvP
