Elder Spiritist's Gauntlets  

 

You will be killing your group much more than saving them with these when the mobs break root and attack them, use ensnare it uses little mana. These dont even save mana becasue you need to cast this 4 times instead of one ensnare. 4 casts at 10seconds a cast = 40 seconds- 5 seconds to cast ensnare = 35 seconds you could be medding and with clarity on thats way more than 15 mana gained. It is much better to ensnare and then root by the way not root first. All of the 50+ Druids I know only have these for walking around in the tunnel for the look.

Does a high level Druid still use Snare? If so, would this not prove invaluable?

This essentially frees up a slot for a more powerful spell... Doesn't it?

Drag-and-drop the item slot to your command menu and right-click when you need it...

Call me crazy, all the ES items sound sweet to me. (And, yes, I realize that I am not a Druid. It just seems that this would work the same as Mrylokar...)

it is common drop off Hangnail and all u got to hope for is him to spawn. my group got 2 pairs in about 1hr in Karnor's last night so it is more like common or uncommon drop.

Camped the hand room today for 13 hours with maybe 4 decent drops all day. My gauntlets being the last decent thing. Not sure if I really like them. Each time I went to snare, I felt like wonderwoman using her magical armbands and that stupid theme song would pop in my head. The ac is very nice on them. But overall, I still need wis items cause i screwed up when I made this char..lol. The green look, well, does nothing for me though believe it or not! Still cool to say I have them. What are they worth??

You can begin using the proc at lvl 45. Some more info on the gloves.. The casting time is 2 seconds longer than normal snare, and its the lvl 1 snare, NOT the lvl 29 wayyy improved ENsnare. it is very helpful if you want to free up an extra spell slot, but mana consumption is a laugh anyway at the snare line series. 15 mana for snare and i think its 25 for ensnare. Doesn't really matter if we right click the gloves to save mana. We can regain it by the time the spell effect goes off. These are handy in a number of situations however. Obviously one would be when you are low on mana, root, then snare the mob for a time to med in case root breaks. Power levelling is also good for these if you dont wanna waste cast after cast on multiple mobs *shrug* Also when you get really bored and feel like terrorizing an old easy zone like unrest of even some hill giants in the karanas, these kind of come in handy. Because of the long casting time on them you must be careful to give yourself some extra range when the mob is running at you. (same with the arms). I almost never would use these in dungeons either. That extra 2 seconds adds up when you need the mana to heal/buff/what have you, and like i said the regular ensnare spell itself hardly takes any mana. Hope that info helped. It's kind of a neat novelty item, and the green hands thing does seem to work well with the elfies ;-)

True they are not the best gloves out there in the world but I am happy with my new set. Now that the snare/root bug has been corrected I can pop this one off quickly after I've rooted a critter as a back up. Opens up a spell slot and the AC is good. I was over 200 wisdom anyway so losing those whopping 2 Wis points from the split paw junkers didn't hurt. (plus us leather bound druids need that dark green look to help us out with the chickies back home)
