wtf are you all whining about?
1- 248 mana is nothing, just get mana prez 5
2- this spell DOES last the full 2 minutes, you can time it with other dots or a clock if you dont beleive me
3- i would have loved it to be more then 70% snare myself but when mobs start to run omg, they dont even move!!! they stand there and wait to die...i can keep a mob under 20% (or 10% depending on the mob) for ever using this...they wont regen hp...you can keep a deathwalk going for a good 10 minutes (easy skill ups or use a heal over time and you can regen all your mana).
4- Druids hate us, this spell is STRONGER then thiers, it does DAMAGE where theirs has no damage
...other then all that its a crappy spell because i have to recast when i solo 70+ mobs /cry whine puke
just a small note/edit, this spell can get resisted and will cause a fair amount of aggro

Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

This guy is retarded. This spell compared to embracing darkness does this:
1. 26 more damage/tick
2. Costs 48 more mana
Everything else is the same, including duration. It was not worth the rune, nor the research components, and certainly isn't worth the 250pp for so you can get it for now.

This is a very... very small raw upgrade over the level 63 snare. Damage per mana stays about the same, and 26dmg/tick doesnt add up to much.
But, being a level 68 spell, this will proc GoM, whereas the old one wont. This is pretty useful in my eyes, especially if you can get off that free Dread Pyre when you snare your kite.

i completely agree except dread pyre is a few lvl's later, unless you get your lvl's then your spells =/
I'm guessing SOE really considers pop spells totally useless now, since this is the new snare and it's nearly identical to the pop snare. You can get your PL toon to 70 and not worry about camping for a snare, since you can just buy a rune for this. There are still pop spells for sale, but they are more uncommon than just getting oow/dodh runes. The pop snare is better than this because its less mana for same snare and same time and same (-20) magic resist check.
The damage compared is pointless at this level and the mana is only a minor difference. Considering you never see all your dots run full duration and never get total mana regen running during battle, there are lots of other ways you use lots more mana and do more damage. This spell is a snare period. The same spell as the pop spell. SOE musta been smoking reefer when the made this one. Better to just skip giving us a new spell so you dont waste the rune. The clicky snare from TIME is way better than this garbage. At least make me want to use this spell, instead of an item from years ago.
One last note about this spell. The OOW mobs and zones are considerably more difficult than POP zones. This spell is the same as the POP spell, that equates to harder mobs with same spells (STEALTH NERF)

I had'nt been using this spell based on some of the earlier posts, but decided to try it out while doing DoN tasks against easy mobs. It certainly lasts the full 2 minutes EVERY time now. Either it was bugged and fixed or our chain was being jerked before.
This will be your snare from now on.

so far using this spell i have noticed that it does last the 2 minutes, i have yet to have it wear off early, have had this crit for over 200 in 1 tick, so its decent, movement rate is still nice at 75%, be really cool if it was 80 or 85% lol.

Duration is supposed to be 2.0 min before focus effect. Most I have gotten was 6 ticks and it drops. I petitioned it. Until then the only good the rune was to get to the next spell - Oh wait that one was nothing to scream about out either. Petition it and see if they can fix it.

The new snare gets resisted approx 20 - 30 % more than the old one on the same mobs. I have tested it in causeway and the hollows

OK, maybe a bug...but this is a steaming pile of crap spell. The duration is NOT fixed. May last duration, may last one tic...who knows.
Gee, thanks SOE

Is a shame also that it's more than likely "working as intended" - in other words not working for anyone. Was kinda lookin forward to the spot of extra damage too :|

I think you mean our 63 snare dot, Embracing darkness. The 59 one has a 6sec cast time and 1.2min duration. The 63 one is identical to the above except it does slightly less dmg.
u do forget that it costs 50 more mana :)

this is a very mild improvement on our 59 snare dot.
