Ah fair. Tbh I just can’t recall using the aoe snare and the few times I fear-kited with the lute out using Constant Chain it’s worked well enough.

I could be definitely be wrong but whilst leveling up I could single pull mobs that were super close together using a lute, when I tried without the lute I'd get adds.

I suppose it could've been just luck with server ticks and proxy aggro checks.

I thought that too for a while, but it's actually enough to go a bit sideways for the mob to change it's direction and the game will register it as rooted --> give full DoT damage. No need to get slapped .

That said, I haven't tested recently and things may have been changed since the kanras post, given that it was made over a decade ago, but if so I haven't seen any posts about those changes.

Well now.. that almost makes me wanna log on the bard to check.

So it turns out this may only be half true, though more sources are needed obviously.
