Yes... If a mob is snared and feared PLEASE do not ROOT! I hate that. Gets my necro's pet killed every time. Not to mention my homies too.

I am sick and tired of seeing people who don't seem to know the difference between Root and Snare. They know the basics (Root holds them still, with a chance to break every tick, Snare slows them down), but they're unaware of the secondary characteristics of the spells; they think that the two spells have essentially the same combat function.

This is WRONG!

A monster that is Rooted will fight, regardless of whether it was running or not. Root is best used for keeping extra monsters ("adds") away from the party for long enough for the party to deal with them one at a time.

A Snared monster that is trying to flee will continue trying to flee, despite the fact that it is not getting anywhere. Snare is best used to keep a running monster from getting to his friends, and bringing them back.

Note the difference in how a fleeing monster acts under Root and Snare... any Melee class will tell you that once a monster turns to run, they want it SNARED, not Rooted. If it's Rooted, it fights back. If it's Snared, it doesn't.

Once more, for summary: Root is for crowd control. Snare is for runner control. PLEASE do not get them confused. Your tanks will thank you for it.

also a rooted mob will tend to try and attack the closest opponent

Well said! Also when someone with fear and someone with root use both, the monster aint going no where fast and will beat the crap if the casters of the spells are in melee ranged. As stated above, rooted mobs do NOT run. Now fear and SNARE, thats the ticket! :)
