And I don't know how you're reading it that way Tecmos. What he is saying is that due to 12s, the snare is breaking because resists allow minimal time to get another cast in.

The bolded part in the quote explicitly states it breaks randomly.
He uses the word randomly, but he doesn't actually mean that at an entirely arbitrary point in time during the duration of the snare, it will wear off.

"Random snare breaks happen when a mob resists the snare effect that's active, for bards, this is always true: if the mob resists the reapplication of the song, it will break snare.

The level 54 snare, Selo's Assonant Strane, was missed when this change was done. It still breaks randomly, giving it a double penalty where other classes have none at all. I was told it would be fixed, but since then, the person that said that has moved on to another department/job. I can only assume this was lost in the shuffle."


You just focused on the ONE time the word "randomly" was used without the context of this guy giving "random snare breaks" a specific defintion.

This. Resisting a re-application risks hitting the 12 second duration.
I also didn't get this from that quote. It doesn't say that when the song is resisted, it then wears off before you can try to stick it again. It DOES say if the song is resisted, the existing snare breaks. It says it like the resist causes the break, because of some weird coding thing that later was fixed.
