I am confused, why are all these hunters talking about this beinga dps nerf?
Won’t you just throw freezing trap instead of frost trap… Will make you raid alot happier on any boss with ground effects anyway.
no one said it was a dps nerf
Yeah viper sting breaks freezing trap but nice try. Do you just not have grounding totem bound or trinket equipped? How are the guards not helping you? I have been chased by those things all the way to AQ
no i dont play season 1 death knight or if we are talking recent sod … hunter before the trap change.
simply put even at the most broken shaman have ever been in p2 with way of earth and dual rockbiter decimating people , it diddnt affect as many people at the same time as hunters spamming frost trap/entrapment/explosive trap spam .
1-3 at a time vs 20+ at a time making everyone effectively useless at any chokepoint in the game is something on a chuck norris joke of a lvl .
for you to even think anything comes close to that you are sadly mistaken.
about a dozen people claimed it was a dps nerf. I am to lazy to quote everyone, so if you want to argue the obvious scroll up.
No… it doesn’t.
Learn your class.
First lesson: Stay moving so you don’t throw an auto attack… and throw a viper sting at the iced target… watch the mana bar fall down without the ice breaking.
This lesson was free.

Again, you never have to face shamans since you play horde. you have zero right to talk about the balance of your class since you’re stupidly biased and have never been on the opposite side of things. Sit down and quit replying to every thread on this forum you loser.

Yes it does
While this is true, it isn’t entirely true. Anything that is not immune to Freezing Trap will cause pets to stop attacking from your party members (or self). Also, now you lose a lot of mob control for solo content and group content. Yes, Freezing Trap will proc the same as Frost Trap, but there are downsides in some situations that the dev team likely overlooked as they did not address them specifically.
Yeah… funny thing about those… those are all reactive.
And if you use the trinket on the ice… you get the scatter shot… and then they wait the EIGHT seconds while backing off to throw another freezing trap on you right after you come out of scattershot.
yeah grounding totem lasts 45 seconds so you can just have it down. And oh no you got scattered for 2 seconds after you trinketed a freezing trap since they share DR the horror
ive faced shaman in plenty of duels and bloodmoon. i have a pretty good gauge on them in those enviroments on shaman /lock/priest.
you are an absolute tool if you think they came close to what was happening for the past 5 days with hunter trap spam.
LOL of course duels. You’re such a clown.

I Know they wont answer and I am not going to pan the devs but this change just wasnt needed or the best way to deal with it. I am just tired of all the classes that still rule pvp locks war pallie shaman rouge coming on here and rallying for hunter nerfs. Hunters at this point the most nerfed class and its to the point of me having to ask. WHY gives us runes anyway of u are going to keep doing this every phase
I’m not a paladin…my totems don’t follow me around.
It’s open world PvP not Retail arena.
4 Seconds… which was used 2-3 seconds after the first ice trap was used which leave 1 or fewer seconds before the EIGHT SECOND COOLDOWN is up.
That you are trying to defend this is damned laughable.
I don’t disagree that this was a poor solution to the problem. I think there were way better ways to handle this and a DR makes the most sense to me or even just removing entrapment from frost trap or maybe the best solution is to make entrapment from frost trap only effect npc’s.
But I also believe hunters are a serious issue in group pvp. I called from the second I seen trap launcher that it was the single most overpowered rune in the game. Just took awhile for everyone else to agree.
I guess you are fighting the best hunter in the game that can just remove DRs from their abilities
It does always has always will
You’re the only person who thinks that.
Sure bud. You also told me that freezing trap and scatter don’t DR
