Clinging is a terrible snare if you can reliably cast a better snare. But if you can't, it's a damn fine snare.
That is my bad, clinging is 36 seconds. Brain fart[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That is a good point, it would be easier to pull that off in tight spaces, assuming you can log in/out without crashing. I understand the mechanic involving snaring/zoning. I did the math wrong hehe.

My point about the snare % is the same as your point about separating monsters via root and zoning. The runway required is longer, which limits the use cases. Not saying the snare is unusable, but the run speed of the mob is still pretty fast with clinging. The snare is only 30% at best. The lowest Druid snare is 55%. This limits where it can be used for fear kiting significantly.

The nice thing about blind is you can stop the mob from running if you get next to it, so you could limit the mob's movement that way. But then you risk the mob casting a nasty spell, which is why you are fear kiting in the first place.
