Thread: What do you do against root?
Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll give the COB/heal path a try.

Best option if you get rooted is to just use a CL54 generic ranged weapon. If your an all melee class. Sure you arnt likely to hit. And your not likely to do alto of damage. But it's better than nothing. So I'd suggest a low damge weapon, with a high accuracy mod and low speed. Ideally something perhaps enhanced with krayt tissues for better damage, and SAC probably wont matter too much as your not likely to have a very high rate of fire anyway.
Top it off with an accuracy PUP or something. ANd take some crispic to add to your accuracy bonus as well. It's not much. But it's better than raging impotenly. At least this way you can still 'reach out and touch somebody'.

yesterday i duelled a Rifleman. I just stood there getting rooted etc. And with my doc skills he couldnt kill me. I noticed that his action got low, that was a good time to get into action, but i couldnt get near him, lol. So we both ended the duel.
do you remember what root he was using? cause if its the smuggler one, thats getting corrected so it breaks upon damage, cause stopping shot has a very long timer
Pop that pixie if you havent.
COB
Prepare a stim/Ruby Bliel.
And start seeking cover.
Do not use foods at all....
Wear +15m arms have the LD1 and a Laser rifle ready. If they are a rifleman then chances are they are wear recon so use the ld1 and hammer them with ranged shot. If they don't have medic they will die. Make sure COB is running.
Use spice that regens your mind and action. Use infusion, and bacta to soak up damage, you may need to use stims if you're getting hit by more than one person. This is why you don't want to have you stomach full, you hit a stim, then a ruby then a stim and then a ruby, watch yourself heal like a jedi until your stomach is ful, you should be able to get off enough to let your mind regen.
Okay that root his about to lift then in the burst run FOOD, not burst run, take the food. You can take up to five of these before your stomach is full. Watch yourself run like a Jedi towards your target when that root breaks. Chances are they will use a burst run but not the food. So your next food burst run they won't be able to run away from you.
If all fails and you find you can't catch up to them then run in the opposite direction, they won't expect this and chances are you'll lose them because you'll be using the food. And get yoru swoop out as soon as possible. Find a building you can get into. They cannot kite you if your in the med center for example. Look for places in city were people can't get more than a couple of meters from you and draw them in. You will do far more damage to range than they will do to you.
How do I know this? I was a kiter, probably up there with the best, I could kite someone all day if I wanted to and most people are predictable enough to let themselves get kited or don't know how to properly run away.
