i get it that they are using runes and talents to improve the traps and it wouldve been ok if they couldnt place them in combat or it was melee range only.
simply put , its too much with them being able to shoot traps at 30+ yard range in combat and not only that but also place 2 traps.
explosive trap ive seen screenshots of it hitting for 1.7 k with the initial tick.
its ez to place that on top of someone who is entrapped for an instant lava burst crit amount of damage followed up by yet another chim shot.
its too much control.
7 hunters spamming traps held back and wiped a 20+ person push of horde in av along the path to and including the bridge to the end base .
its entirely stupid and reeks of the stuff that people were lying that shaman was able to do kinda like a chuck norris joke but reality.
What is wrong with you? Shaman have been completely OP for three phases now. Also funny seeing a Shaman cry about frost trap, when youāre the class that is completely unbothered by it. Maybe learn to play before commenting here.

orā¦ just hear me outā¦ both things could be true about shaman and hunter being top 3 in every phase (other than shaman phase 1 except for tanking) and you could learn to read the other clear posts about hunter traps being exceedingly broken in the current phase and in need of some tuning which affects everyone in pvp.
or you know you could quip about something entirely irrelevant to the conversation to say ābut look over thereā.
In combat traps with entrapment have existed for three phases now. Why werenāt you crying before?
Shhh Iām rolling a hunter now. But yo, why isnāt horde frost trapping?
this combitation of locations and talents and all the things that exist currently havent been in the game till now.
while it was annoying in ab it wasnt anywhere near what it is in av and brm and all the other chokepoints.
lol hunters have been NERFED atleast 1 time in each phase where shamans constantly get buffed then theyre broken and blizz does nothing about it.
I just have to make this point one more time.
Horde have hunters.
so do alliance hunters are on both factions
even more reason to address it cause there are more hunters combined than there are shaman.
This is why sod is where itās at now
Hunters have an advantage in one area of gameplay. Oh no the shy is falling !!! LOL
in one area? did you mistype or are you just oblivious?
Did I stutter? No.
Aoe Traps, dmg and immobilize, yes
Top single target dps? no
Best farmers? Arguable with most classes new runes.
Best tank? no
Best healer? no
Best pvp 1v1? no
So yea, my comment stands
If Shaman have been OP for 3 phases nowā¦ Hunters have been OP for 4.
This only happens if the initial tick is a critical hit, and the hunter is running Lone Wolf rune (+35% damage, canāt use a pet) and T.N.T. rune (10% damage on traps and +50% melee attack power scaling on initial hit only) with Clever Traps (+30% trap damage) talent points and Mortal Shots (+30% critical damage) talent points.
That is a whole lot of stacking effects that give way to what could be a 10-yard Lava Burst-esque effect sometimesā¦
If this gets nerfed into the ground you are probably going to see hunter switch to Improved Volleyā¦which doesnt have a cooldown at all and will just be spammed creating a wall of arrows you cant pass, at the expense of gutting hunter damage in PvE.
Nerf entanglement in PvP sureā¦its annoying even as a hunter. Mess with the damage too much and you kill the spec.
thatās the exact opposite of the truth 
it was people whining about PvE raid comps
hunters have been solidly top 3 in damage and in pvp every single phase of sod.
also arguably by people that understand pvp more than most they have been in the top spot in pvp in all but p2 which enh shaman dominated.
and i would argue their farming capability is top 2 at least .
but ya please do go on being wrong. its cute.
You call that griefing?
Hunters legit defending the bridge/their base?
Is it only griefing if itās resistance?
