Unlike the BE gloves/boots which I have found rather useful on my SK, I never found Tolan's gloves to get amazing use on my ranger... honestly I'd rather have the extra slot to loot another fine steel sword [You must be logged in to view images.

Anyways, considering the context of the thread is best solo power, free snare isn't terribly useful, especially as if you are soloing it is pretty easy to quickly catch a med tick and recoup mana spent on casting a snare properly. Soloing an ice burrower is a fun one time thing for a ranger to do when they have a spare hour or so. It is useful there as landing snare without a druid epic is pretty arduous, and by fighting an ice burrower with a ranger you've already committed to being pretty time intensive... I can't remember if you have time to land the snare cast on an unsnared IB, or if you have to start preresnaring before the current one fades. Definitely there must be some kind of 'usecase' there? But honestly, just finding half a second to catch a med tick feels better. |
The specific context is Cecily is saying they are going OOM. This means they need to save mana somehow.
You are correct that sitting for a tick will recover the 15 mana spent on snare. However, the cast time on the snare clickies are only 4 seconds.
This means you can save the 15 mana and catch the full meditation tick if you start casting the clickie snare after a server tick. You get the snare and 20 mana instead of the snare and 5 mana. You are effectively gaining 15 mana per snare this way.
