completely theoretical problem..

[EQBallzz]

This problem is completely theoretical so doesn't apply to me at all. I'm also asking for a friend..

Let's say you rolled a Troll shaman and leveled it to 12 before realizing you had selected Cazic Thule as your deity. I know that nobody would be that stupid but this is just theoretical remember...

Would you..
1) re-roll and level back up just to gain access to Innoruuk snare item?
2) just forget it and wear your Cazic Thule mishap as a misplaced badge of honor?
3) quit EQ forever as a complete scrub failure?
4) something else?

Your """""FRIEND""""" would be well served by filling up his bags with some bone chips and belts then re-rolling Innoruuk

Search the forums. There's some interesting, imo, debate on the subject of CT or inny for a troll sham.

I would be interested in reading that but I couldn't find any such debates. If you happen to know where they are or what type of search terms might find them I'm all ears (for my friend of course).

I searched for troll and symbol and found this thread near the top: https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=335521&highlight=Troll+symbol

Re roll ogre before it’s too late!

I barely used my snare necklace and when I did it felt like I was just doing it because.

It takes so long to cast and lasts for such a short duration it was more efficient doing other things.

Being able to fear a rooted undead to interrupt heals, etc, is super nice for undead camps which there is a lot of.

The snare is pretty useful for a few thigngs: obviously if you either grouped or solo with pet out, low HP mobs will just derp out when snared and let you finish them off without wasting more mana.

Once root and snare stack, you can root rot more efficiently in cramped locations with snare giving you that extra second or 2 to refresh root.

Fear kiting in a duo+. Pretty obvious.

Pulling mobs, especially if they are naturally fast/have SoW.

And then there is this last one, which I haven't seen anyone doing on P99 but i did quite a bit back in the day in original EQ. You use the snare neck and just dot up mobs this keeps aggro on you and not your pet. then you just kite the mob like a druid. When you are really good you can even hit most of your meditation ticks while kiting it.

This.

If only level 12 it’s not a big deal to reroll.

The snare necklace has the obvious draw back of long cast time and short duration but it absolutely can be a game changer. It has saved me (both solo and in groups) death and time intensive recovery a few dozen times. If you’re going troll it’s the best option and we’ll worth repeating 12 fast early levels.

When I got the snare neck on my low level troll (with help) the dot was actually some decent free dps even.

[Oblivion]

Easy? Fast? 1-12 is like the hardest part of the game for me. More so now that all the xp quests have been nerfed to uselessness.

Snare necklace is a nice to have, not a must have. You don't see clerics rerolling constantly to get it so why should a shaman. 2 second fear animal and undead is perfectly good bonus as well.
