Spells: Wrath of Nature missing snare effect.

[kanras]

Well, unless you're animal fear kiting or charming, yes. I'm not claiming it makes sense from a design perspective, that's just what we know about the relationship between spells that modify movement speed.

[Daldaen]

Without a charmed pet yes.

Minyin, that druidsgrove post is a year and a half after the root/snare stacking change.

[Daldaen]

Well... Actually...

It is nice in that it costs no mana, and the DoT cast from this weapon stacks with ALL OTHER SPELLS in the game (yes, even ALL other druid DoTs). And the snare effect is even stackable with root, so when your root wears off, the mob is still snared. Anyway, that's just my two coppers. You may very well find yourself welcome in many groups becaues of the pleasant way you sprinkle leaves atop your party-members' heads. (unless you're a halfling!)

The way this is written it is as though it was unique in its ability to stack with root. Using "even stackable with root". The problem is there is no time period on the site.

Didn't the snare/root stacking issues end before epics?
iirc that was a goof that only lasted a month

[Fountree]

Ok, lets say youre right about snare overwriting root until 1/09/2001 (any evidence of this would be appreciated). Thats only a few months after epics were released. But anyway, if we consider that maybe, just maybe the epic didnt stack with root...it was only the case for a short while. Want to just give the druids the benefit of the doubt considering what a pain it is getting it on this server? Lolz

I know for a fact that there was never an issue with snare/root stack on the druid epic from release.
I believe the snare and root stack problem was solved before hand.

Either way this epic is 100% useless I don't remember it being like this on live.

epics were released September 19, 2000 http://everquest.allakhazam.com/hist...es-2000-2.html

"The first Druid epic (1.0) was obtained on the Mithanial Marr server by Sobe Silvertree of the guild Afterlife."
Wednesday November 15, 2000 (just weeks before velious came out)

*Root and Snare*
Root-type spells and "snare" type spells now use a separate spell
effect. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/hist...es-2001-1.html

That's a stupidly small window to be able to find any real evidence (or evidence thereof). But just since this thread is missing links to work off of I decided to post that. I'll try to help look when I've got more free time.

IMO not enough info available atm to validate the new changes to the effect.
