Spells: Wrath of Nature missing snare effect.

[M.Bison]

Druid epic click is supposed to have a snare that stacks with root as well as a dot, it was removed in 2002 in luclin.

Dot and snare off the epic and all roots should stack w/o any complication

[Fountree]

After patch, the snare effect of Wrath of Nature is not stacking with root as intended. This renders it virtually worthless. Is there any indication or info saying that the snare component of wrath of nature did NOT stack with root on epic release? Because there is a load of information confirming that the snare and dot components of wrath of nature stacked with root on live. Here's one early example I could find, doing more research later today:

"Recently acquired mine, YAY me.
I love the snare and DoT it has. I notice the HP of mobs do drop quicker when rooted. And, I amazed myself when I decided to melee the mob when he was near death and on the run. I hit him for 70 points of damage.
Was rather cool to see me hit harder than 33 with my Runed Falchion, but to see hits in the 50's, 60's, and then an even 70, blew my mind. Made my partner laugh when I said I was a Battledruid. He is a Paladin, and he says he will let me do all the work now. hehe."

If you look above, Minyin said in his OP that the snare, which was missing before, should stack with root. I mean, what would be the utility of a 9.0 second cast time snare if it didn't stack with root? Plus, the running damage of the snare severely decreases the effect's damage (55 to 36)

Wrath of Nature had snare effect in same effect slot as all roots. Root blocked/overwrote all snares due to them sharing an effect type prior to 01/09/2001, thus you couldn't stack epic and root.

Thus epic dot will only ever do 66% of its total damage in a solo situation?

[http://home.comcast.net/~aviendha/druid_epic.html] seems to imply epic snare effect stacking with root

[http://thedruidsgrove.org/archive/eq/t-3744.html] - also implies the snare stacking with root.
(Milesgond - "why would you want snare removed on epic??"
1. the dot could then be used on unsnarable mobs
2. the level 29 ensnare lasts longer anyway
3. the epic would be resisted less often
4. you could root-dot without fear of snare wearing off
) He is pointing out that you could not Ensnare a NPC that had Wrath of Nature on it, but you could root them (with the added hassle of Wrath of Nature only being a 3min snare, you would have to watch out for WoN breaks before root breaks.)
