List of classes that can remove roots:
Monk - tigers lust
DK - wraith walk
DH - the backflip that immunes cc for some reason / reverse
Warrior - multiple bladestorms / avatar
Shaman - forget the name but they have one
Paladin- freedom
Hunter - disengage / pet freedom
Priest - mass dispel
Rogue - freedom sprint talent / vanish
Warlock - can port or gate while rooted , not sure if soul burn port removes it
Evoker - deep breath is our only out and as devastation its an ability we mainly use for a win condition as its our only hard cc.
When rooted i cannot rescue, verdant embrace, when my teammate is rooted i cannot rescue.
What are your guys thoughts should we be given an ability for that specifically or how would you incorporate it into our kit because we desperately need it.
Now granting unburdened flight the ability to remove roots could work
Or versant embrace and rescue could also provide this.

I could most definitely see unburdened flight doing this.

Straight Facts, we get rooted and if we ain’t got deep breath were screwed. Something to help with it would be absolutely fantastic so we don’t waste a 1 min cd cc/burst window to remove a short root.
I have no horse in this race…
But you forgot to mention the biggest root break offender…
Druids 
We just shift out of any slow/root for the cost of a GCD.

Tail Swipe should break roots.

It always seemed like it should be baked into Aerial Mastery to me.

Stating the obvious I guess heh.
Personally, I would be happy with a general reduction of CC all round. Either reduce duration, or flat out remove some.
Even as a Balance Druid, I have Rake and Bash for 2x stuns, Cyclone, Roots, Mass Roots, Typhoon, Solar Beam AoE silence and a mediocre slow on the Mushroom on my PvP build.
I need it too as most melee seem to have so many ways to get to me now.
It’s not as fun playing catch the Druid these days, you can get 3-4 dorks to chase you to the end of a map, but it’s not as easy as it was lol.
That would be a cool addition to the talent tree, replacing the extra knock distance (which should be baseline, imo).
This is already happening in 10.1.
Without going through the post, could you elaborate a bit?
Yeah I feel like the buffet/swipe distance with the talent is just how they should be.
I thought of Tail Swipe because it’s probably the most individually underwhelming ability we have and the animation already kinda looks like something that a character in an anime would use to free themselves from restraints. Like Aang doing an outward AoE wind blast to get out of ropes.
I know that much, but I don’t think it will be enough.
I want to eat those words so much, though.
