Shaman snaring for non-trolls

Postby Jaraman » Mon Feb 06, 2006 12:20 am

It's late, the z-bar is kicking in, and EQ is approaching 7 years old. Time to share snare.

Here's my experience with using snare potions.

Alchemy vendor on the boat in Abysmal Sea has ingredients
Make LOTS since they stack to 100 (and are cheap to make)
Only use Ensnaring Concoction3, the DOT portion for higher ones not needed/wanted (esp. against summoning mobs)
Need a potion in both the range and ammo slot to throw them
Practice range and useability in Everfrost on greenies. (range is fairly limited)
Made a bandolier called SNARE:
1) Primary has Hammer of Spiritcalling
2) range and ammo have a snare potion each
3) make a range hotkey on same page as the Bandolier Snare page

Uses:

No other snarer for runners--
When there is no reliable snarer around, I will melee until I get the Granite Crush spam message "XX is crushed by a large rock". This does around 25 a tic , and lasts around 5 tics.

If mob is getting ready to run, and Granite crush is not running, I will stop meleeing to allow the RANGE hotkey to pop up. Then I will either back up or range-throw a potion right away to snare the runner.

For pulling --
To get some separation in a potential 2 or 3 pull, I will snare one of the incoming, and use VP to lockdown another.

For snare-kiting --
The duration of potion-snaring is not long enough to snare-kite with (unless you really, REALLY wanted to instead of root-rotting ). However, you can assist the necro puller if he either gets a resist or has 2 incoming and one is not snared. This buys him time to snare the unsnared, and you can then snare kite one mob each. In Creators and the Nest, this works really well. However, in 69.1 missions, be aware that the drachnids shrug off the potion snare quite quickly...

What's niftiest is the amount of shamanigans you can do on a mob or two before anyone even takes a swing: You can pull with Malos, bando-snare, bando-slow, and cripple that one mob, while you managed to MD/punt the other. Lotso debuffing in less than a tic. This a great example differentiating the experienced shammy from a level 70 monster mission sham impostor :shock:


This may be old news to some, but hopefully to most will be most useful. Off to wonderland now...

The best solution is not either/or, but best-of.

i am doing something very wrong. i have been trying to get these to work since i first saw them. but when meleeing, i get the message "Your target is too close for a ranged item" so i back up... and get the message "your target is too far away, get closer!". this has been happening to me for months! i have never found a spot to get far enough away to use a ranged item yet close enough to be within range. i have only tried this with ensnaring concoction 4 because we had tons of silkworm larvae clogging up bank space, but the range on those is 70. range on level 3 is 50.... what am i doing wrong?

On this subject of snare potions, I noticed on Ala that there is a method to upgrade the snare potion to something like a 'sphere of snaring' that seems to give a longer range. It looke a little crazy to make them though, as it has trivial pottery skill at over 300 IIRC. Anyway, my question is has anyone had any experience using these, or are they just too crazy to make for the small range advantage increase?

Peace
Ride free brother.
