Please check my math on Troll vs Ogre Shaman

FSI might have saved me in some of those situations too (but not all! Caster mobs anyone?).

Everyone who has been in more then two groups knows that snare is important in crowded dangerous places, not in outdoors zones surrounded by mobs half your level��

I made another video showing me kill Cryptmaster placeholder. This is in Chardok, with me killing 3 mobs in close proximity in 15 minutes. I need to do that because respawn timers are around 20 minutes. The reason why the video cuts once around 4 minutes 18 seconds is because I /q to avoid the faction hit. That is also why the video ends a few seconds early, right before the kill.

1. Croweded dangerous place? Check
2. Indoor zone? Check
3. Not surrounded by mobs half my level? Check
4. Getting constantly hit by a spell caster mob? Check

If I had moved 10 more feet in any direction in that video, I would have agroed a bunch of mobs and died. There is no where in this video where snare would have been useful. In fact, Clinging Darkness would have killed me. If the mobs ran for two ticks while waiting for their health to get to 12% or where-ever it needs to be for Clinging Darkness, I would have agroed mobs and died. If you take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS3uoIHTu_c&t=82s specifically, you will see how close the mobs are. They are even closer when I am killing the Cryptmaster. Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS3uoIHTu_c&t=525s and you will briefly see the name of a skeleton or two in the near distance. To the right of me (you can't see it) is a skeleton no more than 5 or 6 feet away.

Troll Regeneration wouldn't have helped here either. The lowest I get in the video is 17%, or around 450 Health https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS3uoIHTu_c&t=104s , this was due to a lucky life tap from the Necro. At that point, Troll Regeneration would have given me something like 140 HP. I would not have died at 450 HP, or 590 HP.

EDIT: Also, Chardok mobs don't run (at least not the ones I've fought). So Snare Neck is basically useless in Chardok.

Also, notice the Cryptmaster is carrying a Torch. This means he is more deadly than usual, because he is dual wielding.
