Hunter: Why remove WOTLK explosive trap and freezing arrow?

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.

Thanks!

Well you know this is classic That’s kind of how it was in cataclysm so they can’t change it

Cuz you didn’t have trap launcher back in wotlk so you would have to run up to bosses in wotlk to get fire traps going

Now you have the actual trap launcher ergo no need to have the explosive trap launcher.

It’s already built into your toolkit

It is a shame they are not using the wotlk version of trap launcher functionality.

The cata version is much clunkier.

But thats part of the hunter class charm i guess.

The clunky design that requires conplicated macros to make it somewhat functional.

Yeah it’s weird in the Beta we had the stand alone launcher for each trap this is a bit awkward to get used to.

Stupidity. They should have just given us launcher versions for the other 2 traps instead of taking these away.

They changed tons of other things in these rehosts.

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).
