Mostly because Both BM and MM will be getting an option for wailing arrow, so SV hunters should get the expert trapper talent from legion as an option
for those who don’t know it went:
Expert Trapper
Requires Hunter
All of your traps are improved in the following ways:
Freezing Trap
When Freezing Trap’s incapacitate effect ends, the victim and all nearby enemies’ movement speed is reduced by 50% for 4 sec.
Explosive Trap
Increases Explosive Trap’s damage to the triggering enemy by 75%.
Tar Trap
Enemies moving through the tar have a chance to be rooted in place for 4 sec.
Steel Trap
Your Steel Trap also deals an immediate (81.9% of Attack power) Bleed damage when triggered.
Caltrops
Increases Caltrops damage by 50%.
Of course caltrops would be removed and the explosive trap would need to be changed but i would love more cc for sv thats unique and this fits it easily.

Not that these are bad ideas but it seemed blizzard really stepped away from the “master trapper” aspect that SV once had. I was hoping come DF we might see at least one talent point for the old “master trapper” but now I don’t see it happening. The best we got is now every spec can use steel trap if they talent into it.
In fact Dragonflight is the first time in WoW’s history that Survival has no unique trapping interaction at all.
Classic-WoD: Improved traps + trap root via Trap Mastery (originally Clever Traps) and Entrapment, Lock and Load from WotLK onwards
Legion: Exclusive Explosive trap, Trap Mastery, Expert Trapper, and Steel Trap talents, Diamond Ice PvP talent, Waylay
BFA, SL: Steel Trap talent, Diamond Ice PvP talent
DF: nothing. Steel trap is in the baseline tree and PvP talents are gone.
As for the thread’s suggestion: Mandatory traps in the damage rotation are generally bad. They should consider Trap Mastery and Entrapment again.
no
bring it back
tar trap is yucky
