Have anyone using the these traps?

I hardly use this cause these traps affect an area, and if you're in a group,

it's not very recommended if you have your own pets being affected, if you're using

it as a pet.

I have used both traps in conjunction with having my cu pa attack and it didnt affect my cu pa at all.

I've tried the Flash bomb trap about two dozen times on various level creatures. From challenge level 1-15. This trap has never given me any inidcation of a success or failure. Only a big flash with no messages or status symbol nor any HAM changes. Nothing. Anyone else experiencing this? What can I expect from this trap and why is it not working?

Thank you for your time,

I finally was able to use a flash bomb effectively in a group last night. We had 3 piket longhorns attacking the group and I dumped a flash bomb on the one in the middle and got three success messages and 3 sets of trap xp messages. 480 each, woot.

I even got a "Holy hell, what was that?" /tell from someone in the group.

oh ya the XP from hitting multiple targets at once is huge! And people are always impressed when they see a creature suddenly get blinded, stunned and dizzy in a flash of light. Its cool.

You mean someone ACTUALLY got sonic pluse to work.!!!!!! PLEASE tell us how.......

I think we would be a LOT more effective in groups if we had an AE root (or snare) trap and an AE tranquilize (sleep) trap. Of course, they would work similarly to Adhesive mesh where the effect would be broken by being hit or shot at.

That would be EVER so much more helpful in group BAF situations!

I too have been having trouble with Flash bomb. I used it when I first got it with some success, but over the last couple of days I have been getting no message upon using it. No positive or negative response. I figured it was yet another bug and would, hopefully, be fixed soon.

In my experience, the ranger trapswork only if you are in melee range, and sometimes not even then.
