I assume that's the cleric summon pet?

No, I was making reference to my previous example when I used the snare neck heavily while boxing a Mage/Cleric duo on TAKP, specifically fighting Ice Giants in Everfrost.
DSM dismissed this as an easy camp that didn't require snare, which is true if you're simply farming them as an Epic Shaman or a 50+ Mage/Necro. But in my case I was leveling on the giants with a 44 Mage pet, which leaves much less room for error and requires Cleric heals to sustain. Forcing the pet to tank the extra 20% of each giant's health bar would have required an additional heal or pet summon for each kill, and letting the giant flee without snare would have risked it pathing into the other giant spawn, or running out of the castle entirely, and then I have to go chase down the corpse while I'm already substantially overweight from Fine steel loot and gold/plat.
It's just an example where the snare neck proved extremely useful and convenient.
