Actually since chains is a SNARE (level 1 root series spell) odds are that
Verant finally fixed it so that snare doesn't override root/ensnare/whatever
Which is annoying to say the least but at least it makes some convoluted
sense. If chains isn't breaking early anymore I'll be happy with that.

> I've been noticing some strange things with chains recently. It doesn't
seem to be breaking early anymore (except rarely). In fact, I don't get the
break message until it would normally expire, even when root is cast after
chains. Also, when I rechain after root is cast, chains does not seem to
break root anymore, either.

stays facing the party like it's still rooted. It doesn't even turn around
for a second (like if the pet had rooted immediately after I chained) and I
haven't seen a 2nd root message.

It's kinda nice to keep the slowdown effect while it's rooted, but I'd like
to see the mob stand there patiently trying to run away, too. :)
