Yeah.. I think that's a game changer.

Lets compare snares.

SK:
Clinging Darkness - 20 mana, 6 ticks.
Engulfing Darkness - 60 mana, 10 ticks.
Dooming Darkness - 120 mana, 15 ticks.
Cascading Darkness - 300 mana, ~15 ticks.

Ranger:
Snare - 15 mana, 39 ticks.
Ensnare - 35 mana, really really really long.

So just using snares, fear, and melee.. rangers are WAY more efficient. Not to mention higher DPS and better active / passive hp recovery.
Yes it's a game changer. 15 mana + X fears will probably cost around 100 mana per fight, at most.

SKs can solo. Rangers are soloers. Efficiency makes all the difference.

Ok, you sold it to me! Gotta have my ranger levelled up for the release!
