That 'Prevent Flight' New ability in 1.53A...

It's not just there for running down casters...

From the pendragon test boards on VN:

Well here you go Krull. Casters do not need to Stun/root/mez. That will be your body guards job. *tanks*

Last night testing the new snare with a Merc, his snare went off every fight. No, tanks will not be running right passed anyone anymore. This snare does not break on damage and it progressively slows your motion to a root like assasin snare poisons. They'll be so slow, they have to turn and fight or not hit anything. This ability is great for dual wielding classes but not so great for slow 2 handed classes.

One good thing would to be to apply this PROC to certain styles on 2hand wielders..ie. Crippling Blow. Now, tanks can stop people from crashing through and demolishing the casters. But, this ability is expensive at 14 RA's and should be innate ability on styles not a RA proc.

Ahoh

If this is true, and it doesn't change much (with any luck to something cheaper.... ) then it's a must have for any defensive tank...

and it's the one thing I've been waiting for to make RvR worthwhile: Tank Crowd Control! you can actually stop that troll splatting your casters...
