4777: Spraggonix Root removes rooted user from Aggro List

Description

Being on pull/tank duty for a group in the lowest pit of Spraggon Den, I discovered a rather interesting bug. If you pull a spraggonix, or it is part of the pull, and it roots you, then all incoming mobs aggro onto other members of the group - While you remain with the root effect (which also lasts far longer than full movement regained) you *cannot* build or take aggro off other party members.

The root is effectively acting as a 'Mesmerise' except you can still take actions and hit things, but mobs will ignore the rooted user completely. Could be exploited.

Reproduction Steps

1. Pull Spraggonix
2. Be rooted by spraggonix while mob is incoming
3. Another party member to peel aggro (Before mob arrives to strike puller, and therefore removing the root)
4. Bring mob next to rooted pull/tank.
5. Spam taunt and be unable to pull aggro back again while root exists.

Spraggonix Root is 'Grasping Vines' I think?

Intended Behavior

Being rooted should not affect the amount of aggro built. Rooted user should be able to retain/regain aggro, and be struck by mob, and removing the root as natural course of events.

Root should only immobilise user for specific period of time before diminishing.

Evidence

From the definition of the vines line of spells from druid:

Target is effectively immobilized (loses 99% of possible movement speed) for the duration of the spell. If any damage is done to the target, the spell will break.

Says nothing about mez, or de-aggro. Has not been personally witnessed in any other instance.
