You other Rangers know which trap I am speaking of.....Was it after the CU? I know that none of my traps were anywhere close to that powerful before. Just wondering...because of it, I have been able to solo multiple Krayts at once...I hate asking cuz I dont want it to go away...but curiousity is really getting me....I have not found a creature not effected.....

and it was a dark and stormy night...footsteps echoed down the hall


...


those 'traps' work just as well as they did before and get resisted just as much as they did before..they are not the end all anymore than they ever were


Its just their pre-CU functionality was considered optional because it wasnt dangerous to kill a mob pre-CU, now that you can actually get hit by a creature while hunting, its useful again.


But you do have to have a ranged combat prof to take adavantage of this..melee Rangers dont get nearly as great a benefit from that trap.

What Calc said, tho times change due to differing time zones.


Works on Kimos too.

It was always one of the best - I used it to kite extensively pre-CU. I never had the uber template or access to the buffs/max'd armor to just tank the critters - so keeping them off me was a priority.

Wanna know how powerfull "that trap" is?


Just solo'ed a gorax. Granted, he was only level 83 which is insane, but I just kneecapshot and threw a trap then headshot and snipershot.


The trap effect should wear off but doesn't. It took less than 5 minutes to kill (mainly because my action regen is slow). Remember the great ranger meet when it took a group of us for quite a while to kill one? I didn't even stick around to fight any re-spawns. Not challenging enough.

Check out how much trapping xp I got. Oh yeah, the first trap stuck too.

I remember the Gorax being much taller.



And having rather large feet . . . . . . .

What I would like to know:
Has it always been this way?
Is it a /bug or is it "working as intended?"

It is a bug that the second trap causes the effect that our Adhesive Mesh traps should be causing.



It is getting a lot of attention right now because it is the only trap that is showing a visible benefit right now.

Mmmm...
I guess I will have to get details by word-of-mouth. I was thinking it was one thing and this sounds slightly different from that.

Ok, so I haven't yet figured out what you're talking about. Could someone please spell it out in Pig Latin ?
