Snare (terminology)

A snare is an effect that slows movement speed, in other words, a movement debuff. "To snare" means to slow a target's movement speed. Most snares are skills, particularly hexes which directly reduce movement speed or skills that inflict cripple. There are also environmental effects that snare such as icy ground or quicksand. Skills which knock down could also be considered snares.

The spell with the highest snare percentage in the game (against a single foe) right now is the Elementalist Water Magic skill Mind Freeze with 90% reduction in movement speed.
