Ensnare should have a chance to break randomly, like root, until April 2000
Evidence of ensnare wearing off:

Agreed. I even find the level 29 (?) ensnare, to be useless. Lasts from 2
seconds to 2 minutes, but more often I get the 2 second version. Snare,
lowly level one snare, lasts 2 minutes every time it sticks. Level 34 now
and I open almost every fight with a level one spell.

I know about that, in fact I mentioned it... snare is a great spell, but four
other classes essentially get it. Ensnare is useless.

Ensnare is pretty useless -- more mana, has chances of breaking faster,
or lasting longer than snare. Also higher resist rate

No, it sucks. Ensnare breaks, like root, randomly, greater chance of
breaking if the target takes damage. What makes snare good is a set,
predictable duration, that has ZERO chance of breaking.

Snare lasts 2 minutes. Ensnare has secondary resists, where a mob can
break it at any time

Evidence of fix (seems to have been April 2000):

Ensnare costs 35 mana and on white/blue cons lasts *11* mins (again, a
recent test--they've "fixed" ensnare recently so this is a welcome
change...although, unless you're med kiting snare is still more than
effective).
