Yeah, I missed that when I posted the recipe. When the 69 DoN spells went in they forgot to pull the no trade flag, but they do plan to change it in one of those many post release patches we all love.

Its a spell given for DoN progression. I use this far more than the old snare spells and I have them all. It is rarely (uber rarely) resisted so it is great for soloing Vxed where I find the old snare is resisted about 40% of the time. Unless the mob is protected from run speed changes, you can land this one on them.
If your kiting job is gonna take longer than 3 minutes, then resnare with this one, or use your old snare (level 29) at your convienence. The old 29 spell will overwrite this one.
Where?

61 Snare

Well I got the level 61 Snare from Don...and well I love it. Blows the old 29 one out of the water. nothing..even level 70 mobs.. is resisting it.

Granted, its only useable in group situations as kiting would suck to resnare every 3 min...

IMHO its great.

I do use it for soloing. The 15 minute snare over-writes this one.

Use this one for your initial snare to slow thier butts down, then re-snare with the duration one so you can kill them at your leisure.

I still us the 14 minute snare, you know the what is it lvl 29 druid snare, I tried these and in my opinion they blow.
Why Bother giving us a spell when there is one that weve had forever that works better..../sigh.
As far as resists...NEWS FLASH>>>>>These new snares get resisted the same amount and last 11 minutes less, so take your Chromatic SoE bull an shove it lol.
The way I look at it is Im a 70 Druid, nothing at all should resist my snare aka lvl 69 L33T snare and it should last longer then the snare Ive had forever.
But alas....Patch Day>>>>SoE has taken in consideration of new vs old spells and has taken liberty's to fix there wrongs your lvl 29 snare effect time has been reduced to 1 minute and will be resisted by every green mob in black burrow....wait for it, wait for it, its coming. jk

Anyways as I am still frustrated as to who the complete morons are that decide the spell's/spell effects on my "New" spells that are completely useless, Ill stick with something that worked and still works for me, when they continue to ***** me and my time with lame efforts, I am pushed closer and closer to WoW or any other online game.

My advice to SoE get your heads out of the sand and pay attention to what your doing, make the spells = to the toons lvl and power not a lame attempt to make your boss happy being the first one done with his/her project of the minute.
Remove the dam lvl limits on the DoN drops seeing as there usless to any toon except twinks anyways, anyone that can actully get exp by hunting in the zones most likely has better already, if not they can visit bazzar and get better cheap with better stats with no or lower required/reccomended lvls.

You obviously have not used this snare much, it almost never gets resisted. The 29 snare is good for soloing or long fights as a back-up snare.

Thank you for discouraging others from getting this spell with your ignorance. It is one thing to not be certain, another to say it hasn't worked for me well, and ultimately, it is ignorant to make broad claims that may persuade others to follow your claim by not getting this spell, when 99% of the druids out there swear by this spell. Sorry if it offends, but you are WRONG. Try landing Ensnare in a raid zone and see if it ever sticks the first time. This one will, end of story.

Whine, whine, whine. Ever considered PvP servers? This spell is very welcome, first time i've landed snare in PvP for years.

If this is the spell that you get after you win a globe on the mini raid for DoN progression ... this is a pure ripoff. The lvl 61 spell is *nearly* the same.

    What is a chromatic resist? Never heard of that.
    RE: resist type
    # Apr 12 2005 at 10:25 AM Rating: Decent
    A chromatic resist checks against whatever the mobs lowest resist is. For Example:

    Mob A has 20 FR, 100 CR, 100 PR, 100 DR, 100 MR

    This spell would make its resist check against the fire resist of the mob.

    Mob B has 100 FR, 100 CR, 10 PR, 100 DR, 100 MR

    This spell would make its resist check against the poison resist of the mob.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm almost positive that chromatic refers to checking all resists for a failure. Meaning if you didn't have over 50 to your resist check it would fail. A spell with chromatic (-50) would land on anything that can't resist all of them, making it much, much harder to resist and requires a conscious effort to pump all resists instead of just MR, that's why it was mentioned that on PvP this spell is so useful. That is also why Psalm of Veeshan is referred to as a chromatic resist song.

    neat, this has a chromatic type resist

    anyone know if this is the only PC spell with that type of resist? Also, anyone have this spell and can comment on it?

    There are probably other PC spells with it, the Druid epic 1.5 has it - not that anyone notices since the effect really doesn't do anything.

    In any case, these spells are junk. A very disappointing effort by SoE.

    BTW, Rangers get the identical spells at the same level.
