Issue:
At this point, snare DDs can crit for damage, but not for the snare effect.
I've specced WA VII and done various tests with AE disease and AE str/c debuff to test the frequency of the crits. While I crit frequently on those spells, I've never managed to get a crit on the snare component of the snare DDs. The mobs don't change speed so it's not a display issue either.
Fix:
The snare effect effect should double (+99%) every time it crits from Wild Arcana.
The message in-game should say: "Your snare is doubly effective!"
(Perhaps there is an issue with the crit on the damage component overriding this effect?)

Clear description of the way it should work for snare DDs.

The difference in crit mechanics is briefly mentioned: "My debuff (str/dex) crits varry between what would seem 1-100% aswell
From what ive seen snare and disease are 100% crit tho"
(he is wrong about the disease component, however, Phoenix currently has the wrong implementation of this as well. I will make a different issue for this)

also a brief mention: "a crit on a snare is like a root, ive done it in a duel.."
In this French thread, same thing: snare effects double when they crit.

They also mention the doubling of the snare effect on crit.
Side note: on the other pages they are discussing the crit mechanics on resistance debuffs with actual chatlogs (!) (this could be useful when someone tests the workings of WA for resistance debuffs)
