For some reasons, I feel like they mistakenly put "armor penetration resistance" stat to elite mobs/bosses against Thorned Root.
The way Thorned Root interacting with different tiers of mobs is pretty much like how "armor penetration resistance" supposedly works. The higher tier mobs are, the more "armor penetration resistance" they have, the less effective armor penetration becomes, thus the less damage Thorned root deals to them.
Crush are you there? This is a major bug that is really hurting the class.
mods have ansered they 'have a fix' that somehow was never implimented last couple of patches. But it is 'coming soon'. TL;DR make a really good support build because we may not have it again till Mod7.

they had some fixes for those on patch in last 2-3 week. Thorned roots are still issue with not trash mobs in pve.
its definitely not working in pve, effectiveness goes down to 20% and up to 60% with 80% armor pen
Crush ignores. I hope he at least read it. otherwise we are HAMSTER. Especially with Arm Pen Resist being addictive changes he wants to introduce
