Tactical Information
Sticky Tar has two uses: slowing enemies and reducing their mitigations. Slowing enemies can be quite useful if a dangerous enemy needs to be kited around. Note that many bosses are immune to slows, though.
In the Ettenmoors, Sticky Tar is very useful in both solo and group play. It helps with kiting your target around in a spar. In group play, well placed Tar can slow down an entire creep raid, whether they are chasing you or fighting you in open combat.
