Nature's Grasp on the PTR

This works about as expected.

I pulled two mobs that only melee (the treants below Dalaran) and then hit Nature's Grasp. One became rooted, and then the other became rooted, and the first one broke immediately. The time between used charges seems to have been 2-3 seconds.

Q u o t e:
So we can only root one person at a time?

That's a bug. You can only cast one Entangling Roots. You can proc the roots on 3 targets with Nature's Grasp.

Q u o t e:
Correct me if I'm wrong but, Nature's Grasp proc is essentially casting an instant Entangling Roots at the person who hit you. Since Entangling Roots can only affect one target at a time, this sounds like it works how it is intended to work. If you wanted Nature's Grasp to work independantly from Entangling Roots, you'd have to change Entangling Roots itself, or make a whole new spell to proc for Nature's Grasp.

In this case you are in fact wrong. They are two different spells that just look alike.

There is a small ICD to keep a rogue from blowing through all 3 charges quickly.

Q u o t e:
So you could, potentially, have four roots up at one time?

That's the idea.
