While working my Shaman's alchemy skill I got to the Suspension of Slime VII bit where you create vials that - according to what is says on the label - are a sort of ersatz Snare.
Great for all those classes that have no Snare ability and have to deal with the wonderful tendency of some mobs to run away when they are losing.
The trouble is I can't figure out how they work. I tried googling, searching here and on Daybreak and I get advice like "Just put them in your Ammo slot with one in Range and use ranged attack. Well that just got me a red message saying "Not a valid ranged weapon".
I've tried it on a Mage and a Paladin with the same result. There were people saying it had worked on their Mage - more specifically moaning about how badly it worked but it must have worked for them to whine about it. The Paladin had 10 in Throwing (didn't think to check the Mage)
Has this changed? Or am I just missing something very obvious?
