Arc Snare

Cooldown 20s

Throw a spinning snare that damages and tethers the first enemy that gets too close.

Throws a projectile. Upon landing, creates a spherical snare trap with a radius of 10 meters.
The first enemy to enter the radius takes 10 damage and is snared for 3 seconds.
Lasts up to ~5 seconds if no target is snared.
Used as an off-hand ability, so you can shoot your weapon, heal, etc, and use the Snare as of Season 21. Holding the snare does not slow movement speed.
The play area of the enemy given by the arc snare will be a sphere based on the enemy's last position at the moment that they get ensnared.
While snared, enemy movement is slowed by 40%.
