During WOTLK hunters were provided modern versions of the explosive trap launcher and freezing arrow. These tools were both replaced with the old clunky trap launcher for Cataclysm.
I don’t understand why you would give hunters an upgraded version of these two traps during WOTLK only to replace them with more primitive versions for Cataclysm.
Can you please look into this? I imagine it was just an oversight.
The reason people will give you is that Blizzard wants us to enjoy the authentic Cataclysm experience, warts and all.
The actual reason is that they copy-pasted some old code and don’t want to bother going back to give us the vastly superior modern functionalities. This would especially help the hunter class, which is laden with janky mechanics. Retail hunter is so superior in this regard (targetted traps ftw).
