Please fix the bug that causes Assassin traps to count as elites, causing you to only spawn about half as many elite packs.
Yes…lets just bump this till it gets fixed
wtf, i doesnt know about that bug…
+1 fix that.
Fix the fade/shrine duration bug too.
The game has more bugs than a bait store. 
still less bugs than skyrim 
What Bethesda game doesn’t have a crapload of bugs? 
fair point sir jedi
Though yea on the topic itself : i agree that all these glitches make sin even less appealing , it’s the least used class by far currently i think 
even barbarian are more used. (though it’s mostly as buff machine or corpse looters xD)
So what is the bug? Sin was going to be my starter on 23rd
from what i heard / know.
The game count your turrets as elite packs , and hence make your game has less elites packs.
Meaning : you are a bit crippled when it comes to MF hunting monsters.
(though it doesn’t change anything for super unique / bosses)
But it still pretty concerning , especially for pit runs
Even for group play ? That is such a random bug… I can play kick sin for a while.

We built this city… we built this city on bugs and trolls… 
I will never think of the song the same way ever again. 
Applies to cleansing aura, too.
Not entirely complete. What you said is accurate, but lacking information + workaround.
The workaround is to explore the areas of the map before placing any traps or shadow warriors. The spawning of champions / unique monsters is only decreased for areas that haven’t been ‘rolled’ by the game yet, e.g. unexplored map tiles.
So, if you ran around the entire zone, or at least enough to get all of the monsters to be figured out by the game engine, you’d be fine to place your traps.
Is that dumb? Absolutely. But, there is a way.
That doesn’t make trap sin very tempting as a starter character for me.
This too me is the most important bug they should fix, I would love to be able to play the assasin but this bug makes it not worth playing her. The game is about mfing and yeah removeing the Unique monsters while putting down traps makes the farming useless. This needs more attention, I have seen many small threads lets try to bumb this up and give this some attention guys so that blizzard will fix this.
I think even skyrim has fewer bugs than wrath of the righteous right now x.x
My understanding was that people use this in HC to limit the number of champion packs and make leveling easier/safer
What impressed me was that nobody mentioned bugsoft.
But the three companies can have a ton on their games.
If the behavior isn’t unintended they should address it.
It is a workaround sure, but by the time you do that a cold sorc has run the same map 3 times.
