Thread: Are any traps ever usable on humanoids? Or only monsters,even at higher level?
Just wondering. I wish some or them worked on NPC himanoids even if they dont let us use them in PVP.
I just read the Ranger wishlist thread, my above reply should make for some interesting flames, hah. I would like to hear anyone's constructive opinion how you figure Rangers, animal based fighting masters, should have traps that work on humanoids. I guess maybe you could justify that if no other class required master scout as a pre-req, for the simple reason that "it's an upgrade because we are advances scouts". With Bounty Hunter requiring master scout also, and by definition being masters of taking out human targets, humanoid traps make more sense for the BH tree than anything I can think of actually.
Well, if you want a realistic rationalization, try walking over a pit trap that a animal hunter has set up, and let me know how the spikes feel. We're all animals after all 
.
From a balance perspective though, I can see your point.

lol, very true. Realism takes a back seat to "reasonably real" in MMORPGs 
Even if there were traps that could be usable on humanoids, it wouldn't make sense for Rangers to have them to me. I just made a post on the bounty hunter forum about this actually. I've been saying it forever in BETA, BH has no skills that carry over from having to be a master scout. Humanoid traps make total sense for bounty hunters I think most would agree.
