Is there anyway to snare a hovering monster?

Does any skill lines have this ability, or is the only option is to use a stun ability?

    There aren't any ways to snare them as far as I know. Sorry, man =(

    You can stun them. For example, Crystal Shards for the sorcerer stuns them briefly. You cannot root or snare them, though.

    btw, i wonder why crippling grasp does not slow hovering mobs? It's speed syphon by nature not snare.

    Never tried it, but good point. Perhaps a bug.

    Nope, it doesn't snare them but you do get the speed bonus and deal damage over time on those creatures.

    Silver shards stuns them hovering things on Dolmens iirc, not a snare, but at least they can't attack, and only works on undead.

    Also a bow shot from Sneak will Stun them. There are perks to increase this stun time and damage from subsequent attacks depending on class and skill chosen.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    It would be nice to have an ability to throw a magical net or something.

    You can bash quite a few of them. Shield Bash will stun the smaller ones.

    Volcanic Rune will CC them - blow any flying creature into the air and stun them for 3 seconds. Pretty fun to watch

    Fossilize (can't remember what it is pre-morph) from a DK works on floating mobs too.

    Edit: This is a CC and not a snare so that's why it works.

    Fully snare, no, but any ability/weapon with a frost component should have the potential to partially snare/slow down floaters, if I'm not mistaken. Shock abilities/weapons should apply stun. Try a frost staff with a shock enchantment, perhaps.

    Bearing in mind that boss level mobs are by and large immune to those effects.

    Looks like deadric mines work, at least on the bats, so I,m still testing this ability.
