Our Snares are broken

[Reztarn]

<DIV>I've tested this over and over.  </DIV> <DIV>Situation.</DIV> <DIV>Snare effects are breaking 100% of the time before then snare is supposed to if you do damage to the snared mob.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Example.  </DIV> <DIV>Pull mob with "Culling the Herd"</DIV> <DIV>Cast snare that is supposed to slow target by 46%</DIV> <DIV>Use Triple Fire.</DIV> <DIV>Mob returns to full rate of speed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Our snares no longer stack either.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Unless i'm missing something how is anyone soloing using a bow as your primary damage?</DIV> <DIV><BR>I get 2 shots off before the mob is to close for combat.  Trick of the hunter is the only root I can see that we have pre 47 (i'm only 46 right now) and that only roots 10% of the time.  <50% speed reduction does not give enought time to get away and fire another Ranged CA before they close to close combat since we can not start the CA until we have stopped.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't want to hear about how things are at 50+.  Many rangers are not at 50+ yet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>Im not sure what is happening here,  but I use culling the herd( stealth back attack with a snare, ap1 ),  then back pedal using ranged auto attack( use the best quality arrows you can get for best damage ),  I also use the offensive stance for the best damage,  if the beast gets a bit close I use ap1 entrap, which slows it by 33%( never bothered upgrading it before the changes and cant find one on the broker yet ),   if the beast gets a bit close I use that ca that stuns for 6 secs( doh cant remember its name at the moment ),   If im happy with my range from the critter i will throw in a triple fire,  I also use one fire while moving ca.</P> <P>This has worked fine for me and has allowed me to take on critters that con yellow to me,   so long as I dont [Removed for Content]# things up to much,  I can do this with out taking any damage( this is against single only critters though ).</P> <P>ranged auto attack rocks,  with fulginate arrows I am doing over 300 pts of damage with out poison or bow proc with each hit.</P> <P>I have noticed the critter speed up now and then,  this could be when I occaisonally use a ca,  auto attack does not appear to break the snare,  I will have to pay closer attention next time to see whether this is the case.</P> <P> </P>
