Another noob combat question possibly about NPC snares?

Swindy · September 2015

So arguing with trash in Craglorn (farming pre-writs dropping, the daily grind), and almost every mob I drop in on, I'm immediately caught with a white mist around my legs. Reminds me of tangling webs etc.
I'm on XBox so I can't tell what's being thrown at me, and NPC animations are a little off post 1.7...and that's being polite.
Live or die, it greatly slows me as I'm DW Medium atm for the added excitement...even though Rally & Brawler are fanbloodytastic (& clearly the OP as NB solo Pve atm), I like a couple of pointy-pointy-stabby-stabby toys.

So please someone what is it?
Is there a "cure" (as dodge rolling doesn't appear to disengage it)?
And as a stamblade Imp WW, what am I doing poorly/wrong to catch this 99% of the time?

That's a snare effect. You can get rid of it with Purge, Rapid Maneuvers, Shuffle or Forward Momentum. NPCs love to use snares. You are mainly just noticing it because the in the current console build of ESO, snares are bugged and slow your dodgespeed as well. They have always been there.

Ah ok thanks for that.
Ya I'd seen them before, but they now almost cease all my movement, & it's every humanoid NPC without fail, & without any animation to warn me (like the wind up for a web throw that you see to then dodge/roll avoid).
They continue long after the NPC is dead, and even after I revive at a wayshrine if I die.
I'll go look up those 4 as, & this is a surprise to nobody, I've no idea what any of them are.

How I've spent over 1100 hours with only one character on XBox ESO and learned so little baffles me.
