Talk:Snare

Any reason to take snare instead of barbed trap? 213.84.230.131 10:43, 18 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Not really. It has a lower cost and doesn't cause any damage, so theoretically it synergizes well with hexes that end with damage such as Pacifism. But it isn't like these hexes are massively useful anyhow. The real benefit is that you can now bring two crippling traps without having to sacrifice your elite. 194.186.36.225 10:50, 18 May 2006 (CDT)


 * The only real reason is the lower energy cost. If you're running an energy tight bar, this skill becomes nice because of the fact that it costs very little.

5 energy for 13 seconds of cripple vs 15 energy for 21 seconds of cripple, bleeding + initial dmg. This is useless, just like alot of the other factions skills.
 * Use in conjuction with barbed? Someone wrote an article on GWG a while ago of why bad skills must exist or we'd all be using the same good ones or something, which makes sense. Guru is down so I can't find it &mdash; Skuld 06:51, 2 September 2006 (CDT)
 * The thread's premise originated from this article by Mark Rosewater, head Magic designer. As for Guru being down, blame the admins for sleeping instead of being at our beck and call. --Savio 07:48, 2 September 2006 (CDT)
