Spells: root is overwriting snare

[hotstud]

Honestly this pissed me off when it changed as well because I NEVER remembered this being the case and I played EQ at launch through PoP. Just because a patch note says something about snare and root having different effects doesn't mean that's being interpreted correctly here.

Edit: I looked into this more and it really does seem this was the case. Apparently they didn't stack but people who were kiting mobs were being griefed because you could root a mob someone was snare kiting and then nuke it with some low level DDs to break root and erase their snare.

It was definitely like this..

I played a paladin, and unless something was snared, I'd have to use my stupid root.

Should be easy to find some discussions.

This is how I remember it. Druid/ranger root and snare stacked, though the purecaster/shaman/pally root line did NOT stack with any form of snare. This is why druids were given a different root line compared to the other classes. The way it is now is completely detrimental to a soloing druid (or ranger LOL)
