Made a few of these today to try them out, seems the new trivial is 116, When I tried to throw them it said I was too far away or too close, coulnt get the right distance no matter what I did. Waste of plat if you ask me
remove anything you have in Ammo slot. Still a waste in my experiance tho. longest I've ever seen it snare for was 1 tick.

I would imagine that these may be useful to a rogue. They have a proper throwing skill & most keep it maxxed. They also have Instill Doubt & Backstab so with this they could effectively fear kite.

Last time I checked rogues could not backstab and instill doubt. They used to use the refresh timer. Not sure if this is still true.

I'm not discussing the merits/uselessness of fear kiting as a rogue. To me that is a different arguement.
However, rogues already have an assortment of snare poisons that they can make. Personally, I use them on my rogue in certain circumstances. Since I can make my own snare concoctions (with a better degree of snare, this one hardly slows the mob down) I wouldn't see the need to buy one from a shammy.

It says 5 ticks, 1 tick = 6 sec which means 30 seconds, although it can wear off early the resist check is -1 on it so it possible it wont stick at all. And as someone mentioned above, you must have a throwing skill, enchanters do not possess this skill =(

Um, chanters do have a throwing skill, even tho the cap is low.
actually Shaman don't get Throwing skill either and I (54 shaman) have used these. cannot have anything in ammo slot tho.

Just curious. Has anyone else, that has used these, had the little problem of either being too close or too far away to use them. Seems to me that a range of 50 just isn't far enough to be effective. When I get close enough to use these I get agro, then the mob is on me and I'm too close. Me thinks this may need some "tweeking." Also, they don't seem to work like other throwing weapons, in that they can't be stacked, won't go into your ammo slot, and have to be manually loaded after each use. This has obvious drawbacks while be chased down by an angry mob. Would like to know if others have had these problems, or if there is something I may be doing wrong.

I kite in Drunder, Fortress of Zek with my magician using these. I wish they lasted longer, but i can get a couple nukes off before it wears off.
This isn't a proc, it is thrown; so, whoever uses it must have throwing skill.
the fact that it only lasts 5 ticks kinda sucks
and they don't stack which really bites too... but it only costs about 130pp for 20 combines, and with a trivial at 227 its a pretty cheap way to get your alchemy skill up, plus you can sell them back to vendors for almost 6pp.
A runner in LDoN is not a good thing, 5 secs can save a group not lucky enough to have a snarer or proper CC, even with proper CC a runner can spell doom.
That is very VERY true. I guess it's worth trying these out for LDoN's.
