Essentially. About 60% of the druid spells are the equivalent of those two
songs. For a while there was a druid DOT that was less efficient that a
DD.

A lot of people tend to think that Ensnare is resisted less than Snare.
However, I think Ensnare just comes at a temporary difficult time when for
some reason Snare is resisted a lot. A few levels later, snare usually
catches on the first try.

I don't have number handy, but I know people who've done testing of it
(about 100 castings per) and found that Ensnare is resisted /slightly/
less (like 15%), but since the effect is useless because it runs out after
< 10 seconds, the resist rate is irrelevant.

How about 'Sense Animals'? =)
