Should I Make a Human, Dark Elf or Gnome for Cleric?

[Troxx]

I have the snare neck on my Troll Shaman. It has come handy numerous times even at higher end camps like fungi king in seb where a runner can mean a wipe.

It’s not the best snare. It frankly sucks with a short duration and lower percentage movement speed debuff … but it gives certain classes a whole new unique mechanic/skill that it otherwise wouldn’t have. It can, in some instances, change how you play entirely.

The snare will stop a runner from running.

Any item or racial perk that gives a class something it wouldn’t otherwise have is powerful.

Best racial skill perk? Sneak on halfling.
Best diety based? I’d argue snare neck.

Most important racial decider for a cleric? Liking what you look like.

In the end it’s all fashionquest.

I have multiple videos on my youtube channel disproving the need for snare neck on a Shaman. Just use root when you want to stop a runner. It has a faster cast, and same chance of resist. There are very few cases where you would actually need snare to accomplish anything, and in those cases it is easy enough to get a few https://wiki.project1999.com/Ball_of_Burlap_Yarn .

It's an item that's nice to have, but I have yet to find one instance where it was necessary or gameplay changing. Sadly it just isn't good enough to actually help out in any considerable way.

As I said before, Human Innoruuk Cleric is great. I have all the clickies and enjoy it immensely. But if you don't want to get the clickies (because they aren't really necessary for anything), then Tinkering would be better if you don't already have a Tinkerer, when discussing Human vs. Gnome vs. Dark Elf.

The only thing the clickies really open up are some solo possibilities because the fear and snare work on living mobs.
