Snare effects are a form of crowd control that reduce a victim's movement speed, preventing him from effectively maneuvering in combat. It is most useful to ranged classes when fighting opponents who only possess melee attacks, allowing them to kite the opponent. Snares are also useful to prevent enemies from fleeing to safety or running for help (in instances especially).

Spells and abilities with a snare effect usually have a percentage listed (i.e. Spell frost stun [Dazed] is a "50% snare"). The creature's full movement speed is reduced by this percentage.

Examples of abilities that cause a snare effect:

Class Abilities
Hunter Ability rogue trip [Wing Clip]
Spell frost freezingbreath [Frost Trap]
Spell frost stun [Concussive Shot]
Mage Spell frost frostbolt02 [Frostbolt]
Spell frost glacier [Cone of Cold]
Spell holy excorcism 02 [Blast Wave]
Spell nature slow [Slow]
Paladin Ability paladin judgementred [Judgement of Justice] (Rank)
Priest Spell shadow siphonmana [Mind Flay]
Rogue Ability poisonsting [Crippling Poison]
Shaman Spell frost frostshock [Frost Shock]
Spell nature strengthofearthtotem02 [Earthbind Totem]
Warlock Spell shadow grimward [Curse of Exhaustion]
Warrior Ability shockwave [Hamstring]
Spell shadow deathscream [Piercing Howl]
