hehe True. I run a ranger though and I can understand why they only cast
once. At level 35 (my ranger's level) I can snare and the snare will last
around 3 minutes. Plenty long for most fights. RARELY does it wear off
beforehand (unless some genius roots it or we have a mage with a earth elem
in the group).

Oh.. that's another time I use chains... if there's a mage using a pet.
Thankfully my chains block that stupid root effect so I use them in those
situations. 90% of the groups I'm in we won't let the magician use the
earth pet.
