hmmm - for me p. darts were never enough to stop critters in their tracks. I would have to use p. dart and then carb. cripple shot. If I just used one or the other, the critters would creep forward. Of course, this was until the p.dart trap would perma-stick the critter. If the critter wasn't perma-stuck then just a p.dart trap would only slow it down for me.
So maybe they did change the trap code - I don't know - I never could stick a critter with just a single p.dart trap. I needed cripple shot to stop it completely. Otherwise, it would just creep forward.
The trick was getting the target to face you and not deviate. If it turned left, right or up, down the trap works as it was meant to - slowing them, not stopping them in their tracks. I would normally toss one trap to get his attention, then once it started towards me, toss the P Dart. If your target gets into Melee range, you had to back up very slowly while staying directly in front of the beast.
But I haven't been on in the past couple days so I can't comment on any nerf.
