People need to drop that myth. Spells of a similar type with the same resist modifier do not have a magically different chance to land. There's no mechanic that somehow makes ensnare easier to land than snare, you probably just imagined it like with all the other staggeringly common EQ misconceptions.

I remember duo'ing the west / east commons druids with a necro. Invoke fear lasted more consistently and was less resisted on NPCs. I am 100% certain broseph. The same went for snare vs ensnare on npcs.

PCs? I didn't pvp much or really at all on these classes on live. I'm just trying to drop my 2cp on spell resists for spells like snare (lvl 1) being resisted naked. It was a spell with a high/shit resist rate in my book. Ensnare should work better. Again, the reason I'm requesting testing. I know there's GM commands to instantly cast any spell and that's where you'll get your accurate data. Spells like thunderstrike for the wizard were crazy high resist, even on naked PCs (hilarious/ownage when they'd get tossed off a cliff by it).
