Please address trap launcher

Hey Guys , I dont know where else to post this but can we possibly get some QoL fix for the hunters current trap launcher, having to cast two spells in order to use traps in primary rotation feels bad , Trap Launcher is already off the global cd I think the focus penalty and having to cast two spells is a little over burdensem

Trap Launcher is already off the GCD but making a macro with it makes it act like it’s on the GCD.

#showtooltip Explosive Trap
/cast Trap Launcher
/cast [@cursor]Explosive Trap

You need to press it twice which is annoying, would be nice if it just shot the Explosive Trap without needing to press it again.

Does the launcher have a cooldown and/or does casting it again when it’s active deactivate it? If no in both cases you could macro it to another commonly used ability to ensure it’s always going to be active when you need it.

Though I do agree that if it’s not going to just be built in like it is in retail then at least make it something you can toggle on/off.

Yeah its clunky as hell and the focus costs for zero payback is pretty gross

In SoD they have a better functioning trap launcher, you can just @cursor with one button.

You dont have to activate trap launcher, then use trap.

There’s a cast sequence macro fro trap launcher…

But it’s a lot of work to make it work
Mainly for pvp just cope and press two buttons it’s not that hard

There is a reason TL only lasted one expansion lol

TL is off the GCD and has a shorter cooldown than the traps themselves, so it’s a lot more fluid to prep the launcher between abilities before you actually need the trap itself. I guess it just feels more natural to me coming off FF14, where oGCD abilities are way more common

That’s what we do and it’s annoying, Ms. “There’s Nothing Clunky About Cata Hunters At All.”

Do you always read everything anyone says in the most negative light possible? I literally said “it feels more natural to me” not “stop complaining it’s fine losers”

Yeah what ive started doing is adding /cast TL at the end of my shot rotation so hopefully the buff is always up , the main issue with that is if you dont have the focus it wont pre cast it , the focus cost is more my issue and i guess i said it felt clunky because we just came from a single spell “Trap Launcher:explosive trap” so it feels awkward.

cheers for feedback guys I feel ya all

Would have preferred they let us keep the 1 button launcher we already had in wrath. Literally no hunter would have asked for nor wanted this change.
