[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8490044, member: 7030563"] Spike Growth is once per turn too unless you can move an enemy more than once on during your turn. Further it is an AOE and the enemy needs to be moved inside the AOE, not just moved anywhere, you take damage if you go inside it to move an enemy. This makes a lot of movement options less viable. If the enemy is standing at the far edge of spike growth, for example you have to circle around behind him to push him into it with repelling blast. Ensnaring strike requires a bonus action and more importantly gets a save. Further that save is with advantage on a large creature. There no save on grasping arrow, it is automatic. This is a BIG difference. Both Spike Growth and Ensnaring Strike also require concentration. Finally Grasping Arrow is not a spell, so aside from the fact you do not need to concentrate, I could hit the same enemy with a second Grasping Arrow on the very same turn and essentially double everything and require 2 saves to break free.
