Snarl Ninja'd?

[Caketime]

If this has already been done months ago and I'm just too retarded/drunk to have noticed until recently, please excuse this post.

Lately when I use Snarl it seems to have a chance to just not do anything. It's happened in Campaign, Abyssea and most recently in Dyna. I engage as normal, establish hate with a ws, then snarl and move to the next target or continue dealing damage as needed. Now it seems like when I do this my Snarl will randomly fail to have any effect and I get floored or at the very least continue to be the mob's target.

I was fighting the Greater Amphitere the other day and Snarled more than once, and neither time did he ever look at my pet even after planting two Ruinators on him and using Snarl. He floored me of course, and it wasn't due to his aoe, I got killed by auto attacks that should have been focused at my pet. I'm almost positive it doesn't have enmity reset or anything like that, so I'm going to keep using the ability and trying to pinpoint what exactly is going on. Has anyone else noted strange things going on with Snarl?

Snarl requires you to be within a certain distance to your pet. I've gotten "too far away" messages when fighting amphiteres (ready moves) unless I am right beside my pet, so if you were on the opposite side of the mob when you used snarl, chances are it was ineffective because you were out of range of your pet.

Try it with other mobs and see if you still have the same issue. Amphiteres are wonky mob types because of their size.

I saw in my log that Snarl was used each time this has happened. I didn't have any problems with Limbus earlier, I'll try it in Dyna again and see what happens. I'm beginning to think that my problem is possibly alcohol related. >.>

Its been a long time for me, but I think I've seen snarl fail before. I have not seen it fail recently though.
