Druids and Tangling Weeds????
Dave
Tangling Weeds as a ranger/druid spell but the one for sale in the ranger
guild in Shadow Haven is Ranger only. Did Castererealm.com, and the Primus
SOL guide (read it at BB) miss something?

site.
Seems as if it is a bug that is says RNG and not RNG DRU but druids can in
fact use it at lvl 1.

Doesn't really matter unless you buy it before you get ensnare. TW is a
useless druid spell (somewhat useful for rangers with no druids doing snare
duty) after that.

mob's snare wears off it is great to reach out and grab the mob. The stats
are wrong, the cast time is 1sec not 2 and that is all the difference. My
druid is only lvl14 and he is still doing a lot of melee. At higher lvls
where you do not want the mob to be able to run this is equally as valuable
as a backup for ER and Snare jsut because of it's near instant cast time.
IMHO

When you get ensnare you can dump TW. Casting time is the same (1.8 I
believe) and ensnare lasts 11 minutes.

Since snare is a fixed duration spell, there's no reason that it
should run out before you can recast it. Since my ranger got it at 9,
I haven't had a snare break before I could recast it.
Tangling Weeds is a totally useless spell.

TW casts much faster than snare...and that makes a difference if you're
being beat on. It's not TOTALLY useless, though it IS close ;)

Casting time on my copy says 0.5 seconds, so yeah, it's useful
somewhat.
Besides, at level 29 which do you think you'll channel? A level 29
ensnare or a level 1 tangleweed?

I was wrong on my previous post. Casting time according to
http://eq.castersrealm.com is 2 seconds, not 1.8 as I originally said.
Snare is 2.25 seconds, TW 2.00 seconds. Although that quarter second CAN
make a difference, it's not something I'd call "near instant cast time." <g>
Good news, in 3 levels you'll be getting one that sticks even before you
cast it (joke), Ensnare! Casting time is 1.75 seconds and lasts 10 minutes.

Quote from someone who emailed me (I rarely reply to email):
"castersrealm is wrong the cast time is less than 1 sec I have a ranger and
use it all the time for all sorts of reasons."
Could be they're wrong, but when I looked at the spell (my druid memmed it)
shortly after Luclin came out, I'm pretty sure the spell said the casting
time was 1.8. I also thought ensnare was 1.8 but it's been so long since
I've specifically looked for that info that I could easily be mistaken.

My ranger shows casting time as 0.5 and can *almost* cast this spell on the
run it goes off so fast.

Ah, Verant must have realized the spell blows and bowed to that and made it
useable. Cool. :)

The cast time on Ensnare has never, ever been an issue for me. And I
remember when ensnare used to break at random like root.
Hell, if push comes to shove, I don't think that there is one normal
mob in the game that I couldn't channel ensnare through them beating
one me. I once managed getting ensnare off while getting beat on by
FOUR wyverns in CS.
