Congratulations! Hope your wrists don't hurt as much as mine did when I got mine...!

I noticed this trying to take out minstyngers in the shadowlands. I had one snared and was about halfway toward dropping him when I decided to reposition myself. Then I got the "Can't See Your Target" bug and he charged straight for me. Of course, he couldn't see me either, so we just danced around each other for about five minutes. Then we got lost in each other's eyes. It got weird from there.

-Takanudo (wishes that minstynger would stop calling him)

I was going to add something here but my train of thought... totally derailed.


oh ya - I have noticed that if i get within melee range of the creature (for example, if I run past the creature to get behind it) the trap effect will disapear.

What I have been seeing, both on Kashyyyk and other planets, is that the P-darts seem to work as intended (meaning the creature is only slowed) when others also fight the creature. This had been occuring when fighting in a group and also when grouped with just my pet. I normally just give my pet spat a "kill" command and then an immediate "come" command (otherwise his Cl 10 butt would be mush) to pull. When the creature is in range I /kneecapshot then throw a p-dart. The trap holds until the creature is killed. If my pet ignores my commands (quite too often I'm afraid) and charges in after the creature and is attacking at the time I apply the trap, then thetrap just slows the creature for a short time and eventually breaks.

I only lick Alvians, GTFers, and myscout/ranger brethren.

I dry hump AT-STs.

Everything else gets harvested.

this is what I have noticed....

1) Pop tarts work better when you are alone. Each person you have in your party only increases the chance that the creature will break it.

2) Melee will break poptart. The closer you are to the mark, the greater then chance of creature breaking trap.

3) If creature aggros another person, trap will be broken

4) Krayts: even if you are by yourself.....if you are within 50 meters of dragon...it will regen health. If 51 meters or farther...it will not.

Summary: Hunt by yourself, stay away from mark, and if someone aggros creature....be prepared with more poptarts

If anybody outdamages you, it will break the trap also.

Sometimes this is fun when somebody comes along and tries to still your kill...because once they outdamage you, the krayt will change agro to them, and lose the trap. Then you can just sit back and watch them get chased around.

I'm gonna try that....hehe

*chuckles as he cleans drink off of monitor*

So let me get this right. They are going to nerf (ie actually fix something) the snare and root affects? It was nice when it used to be a scout/ranger only thing. But now its wildly overpowered and we're suprised when it gets quietly fixed?

Oh yeah and will we get a free respec when its truly fixed and isnt as overpowered. Because after all we are the FOTM because of this. When its fixed all the players wont want to regrind a new profession. They'll want that easy way out to change to whatever the new FOTM template is.

Bitter? You bet. We went through the pain and BS of the CURB to stop people from soloing Krayts and gained the ability to solo Gorax's. Sure was a good reason to lose half the game population dont you think,

I agree, thats sucks b@11s. I think they should just nerf the other professions who have the +root+ ability, and throw us a bone. I mean come on! Ahh well, we can't have it all can we?
