I played a 65 troll shaman until mid-PoP on live, and then a 60 troll shaman one of the live progression servers (cant remember which one I was on). My 65 shaman had the snare necklace... I accidentally rolled CT on the other shaman, and honestly I dint miss the necklace at all. I can attest to Skopes post... The cast time is long, the duration is short (48 seconds maybe?) and the snare % is not very great. The only time I really found it useful was root rotting frogs in PoStorm, because they hit like trucks. As stated earlier, shamans can tank a mob fairly well with a slow, and root rotting isnt used as much later on as it is in the classic era.
Oh, and I had a 60 barb shaman on VZ/TZ. Not that it makes a huge difference, but Im sticking to troll or ogre from now on. I rolled ogre this time around and Im very satisfied. I always wished i had the stun immunity on my trolls, and now i finally have it. Extremely useful for when you get a slow resist in dungeons/planes and you need to channel another one asap.
