Strategy[]

Although Tangling Shot is listed as having a 100% chance to immobilize enemies, it has trouble working on Champion and Boss enemies because of their resistances to immobilization. Because of this, Tangling Shot is instead best used to immobilize crowds of weaker enemies due to their lack of this resistance. Considering the Outlander's various other AoE skills and Tangling Shot's limited utility, it may be better to spend skill points elsewhere.
