Make tar interactive

just a random idea, but they could replace arcane shot with fire arrow, and make it so if the target hit was standing in your tar trap, it ignites the tar doing AOE damage. Idk if that’s an original idea or not.

If only we had some sort of trap that did something along the lines of setting fire to things. Oh well, Blizzard would add it if such a thing existed.

You guys aren’t alone in this. Would very much want something similar.

I did include a version of it in my concept for the pre-Legion version of Survival, in case of a return for it as a 4th spec option to the modern game.


In that concept, you would get this from a passive effect interacting with Tar Trap along with Immolation Trap(hunter ability of old, ah the days of past).

Enhanced Traps/Trap Mastery
-Gain the Immolation Trap ability.

-Tar applied by Tar Trap can now be set on fire by Immolation Trap, causing any enemy who stands in it to take increasing damage over time for it’s duration/as long as the enemy stands in it.

-The trigger radius as well as the radius of the effect on your Tar Trap is increased by 25%.


I also know that some players don’t like having to rely partially or solely on traps for such a mechanic(AoE that is position-based). So you could even make it so Explosive Shot in addition to the Immolation Trap, if active on a target that is standing within the Tar, would also ignite said Tar.

Note though that the Tar, based on my idea there, could be set on fire by the debuff applied by Immolation Trap as well as the Immolation Trap itself if triggered within the Tar. (Meaning if an enemy that is affected by Immolation Trap were to run into unignited Tar, this would…well…ignite it.

Just give back exotic ammo, i miss that, it was a really neat option at times.

Or for MSV if your bombs could affect how tar? I literally don’t know why they haven’t done that lol

something something “… and allowing traps to be fired off the global cooldown” for duration ect. ect.

My goblin hunter really, really likes this idea

Actually Blizzard did have hunters with explosive and fire trap, even had snake trap. I prefered explosive trap, They should bring that back instead of hunters mark in sl.

Would be amazing to lob a bomb into a tar trap and set it on fire. SV is a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be, but that would add some flair for sure. So much utility to play with my prey in bgs already!

Its already coming with SL, but Torghast only. That Torghast might be a good thing for the future of WoW. Random spell effect and etc can give a better idea to blizzard of things to make it part of the class.

That is pretty cool, I may just have to take butchery for torghast so I can whirl around in my flaming trap like a lunatic
