Snare, FD and Diety questions

[Teh]

<p>Hello all,</p><p> Few questions for everyone. First, what is the point of our snare? It breaks itself after the first tick, not even considering if any other dots or damage is on it. How do we go about getting this change din the game? I would prefer a non damage snare that lasts a bit longer.</p><p> Feign Death- Can anyone explain why we cannot have our EQ1 FD back? Why the long refresh? Is it that unbalancing? How loud should we scream to accomplish this change?</p><p>Deity- Which one is best for necros and why?</p><p>Thanks for all your responses.</p>

<p>I never understood necro snare in EQ2.  Even if it's the only spell you cast it'll usually break itself after the first tick.  I would assume that's a bug but as a new player I have no idea how long it's been like that.</p><p>Just seems like a useless spell to me.</p>

<p>So what do we do to get these issues fixed? So often, as you all now, even while rooted or stunned, the mob comes chasing after me. Happened several times yesterday alone. these spells simply are not working as intended, meaning they need to be fixed. The necro community should come to terms on what we want and approach the devs to change it.</p><p>so, if you had your way, what would darkness do for you? what would stun do for you? What would root do for you?</p><p>Be reasonable, as it must be balanced.</p>
