Do the 15 from warden and 50 from ranger set stack to 65 or 72.5?

    Tested this in Horns of the Reach patch and here is what I came up with:
    * Disclaimer: ZOS could have "ninja changed" things since then so I´m not claiming this is how it works at current live

    If you´ve a snare that reduces your movement speed by 65%, Ranger´s Gait will cause that snare to reduce your movement speed by 32,5%. If we now add the warden passive on top of this it will be 15% of the 32,5% which gives us 27,625% movement speed reduction.

    So in other words it stacks multiplicative and not additive as it used to do.

    It stacks additively and is substracted from the strength of the snare, rendering you immune to any snare below 65%.

    I was told that it was stealth nerfed to not do that? But instead reduce a snare by 65% of its total. In example a 60% snare is reduced to 25~%??

    Notorious ninja nerf?
    Then you need to test it, my 5pc was trashed during my last account clean up o:)

    Would be nice if you could tell us the results!

    Ok I’ll see if I can find an enemy that has a flat snare. Maybe I can find someone on here to test with. I’m on PS4 NA.

    So in other words it stacks multiplicative and not additive as it used to do.

    I also conducted similar studies and it seemed to me that Ranger's Gait stacks with Icy Aura additively (so 65% reduction). And then applying multiplicatively to the snare (65% snare * (1 - 65% reduction) = 23% snare).

    But, frankly, I no longer remember the details and measured everything approximately, so most likely I'm wrong :|
    Everything is viable
