Return of Reckoning

At least Mara wouldn't because they have the M2 that does instanlty 1200 AoE damage. But that doesn't mean Ensnare/FoF aren't balanced. WL could think of using SN depending what match-up they are facing.

so basically you are saying that SN is the first priority morale 1 for other mdps classes in the game? you can't be serious with that comment - at least not if we are discussing T4 balance.

removing the damage would give both classes the following possibilities:
- offensive morale 1 (sever nerve)
- defensive morale 1 (confusing movements)
- cc morale 1 (ensnare / fof)

No I say the damage part of FoF/Ensnare mostly is irrelevant when used "properly" as a gap closer or move disabler.

Of what I've heard so far, reducing duration seems the best option. Reduced duration preserves a full 5s of root under attack if the M1s are used close in, while dropping the effective duration when used further away.

remember that if snares or even a small KB happen you drop too much the effectiveness make it by base worse if used at range instead of melee. Just drop the duration to 5 should be enough in my opinon. Can also keep thread open and further change it later anyway.

There was many good suggestions, but i endorce returning FoF/Ensnare back to 5sec. Touching damage or adding damage treshold would not be good idea.
