Will Snare Ever Be Fixed Here?

he's referring to the fact that running mobs don't stop in their tracks at low hp, i imagine.

True. I noticed that as well.

Frankly the root/snare combo is more bothersome. The stopping in their tracks would give druids/rangers more usefulness though. It's annoying.

But they do, i root rot all the time when i am bored (mostly SF's when i can not quad them) and typically 1 root will last 85-90% of the mobs health, the mob will start running then i click my ES Gloves to snare them, once it hits the mob stop and i run up and practice my 2hb and hope for my fun AE proc from my hiero crook. I must have done this 100 times in the last few months.

That being said i am not sure if i understand the OP's issue. Perhaps the lvl 1 darkness line does not reduce run speed to 0 unlike a lvl 1 snare.

This - many of my mobs stop completely with just a regular snare. As Kassel said, maybe it's just clinging darkness..?

[pickled_heretic]

darkness line spells are not as powerful as normal snares. especially the lower level ones. as far as i remember, that's the way it was on classic.

See, rangers don't just die. They snare too.

They do when they reach 11%.
