NO MORE DOUBLE TRAP???Follow

I'm confused, hasn't Freeze Trap always been one at a time?

I know you can drop more than one, but if the 2nd triggers doesn't the first go byebye >.>

Is there any other real CC in this game that can be applied to more than one target simultaneously?

There have been bugs that supposedly allowed it with other forms of CC that have been fixed. Looks like freezing trap followed suit.

Of course, i have never heard of this double trapping thing, but I assume you are talking about simultaneous trapping. At least you can still chain trap a target thats in combat. That's arguably better than some other classes "CC". :P

Erm.. no. Polymorph has always been chainable due to no cd, it's been targettable and ranged. You can even switch Poly targets in the middle of a fight with no problem. The same with Banish on Demon/Elemental targets and Shackle on Undead targets.

And you haven't even heard of doubletrapping? Congratulations, your right to play a Hunter has been revoked. Turn in every single piece of equipment you have for disenchanting and delete your character.

The reason this nerf has us pissed, is that our CC has always been so limited by cd, lack of targeting and range. Removing doubletrapping makes it entirely obsolete compared to almost any other kind of CC. It was quite simply put the only thing we had going for us CCwise exactly because of those limitations.

Chaintrapping being better than other classes' CC? Ergh, you haven't been on CC duty much, have you?

Yeah other CCs are chainable, I never said otherwise. No other CC lets you CC two targets at the same time.

In my defense, i dont play a hunter endgame, never have. Im just interested in the topic.

And I would argue that chaintrapping is better than sap.

Yes it is better than sap, but what form of CC isn't?
But I think rogues have quite some other very unique abilities to compensate them for the lack of CC.

Also it is very strange that those changes are not within the patch notes. Whenever they rename some ******** they put it in, but they stealthnerf a class mechanic which has been active for well over a year...

Yeah, that one. Which was not in any patch notes, and wasn't announced until after Hunters made a stink about it on the forums. That unannounced change, yeah.

The change wasn't in the original patch notes. It was added to bug fix notes after the patch went live. I'm confident that was just an oversight on Blizzard's part.

Unless I was doing something wrong, I think it was nerfed too. Last night after hearing about this, I tried it out on a mob in Hellfire. Placed a trap down, waited until CD was almost up, pulled the mob into first trap, moved a few steps back and immediately put down second trap. Right as I did this, first trap broke.

:(

Sorry to ask again, but has this also affected Wyvern Sting? Can we trap one mob and still sleep another? Or can we sleep one, pop Readiness, and sleep another?

Can anyone test this?

Thank you!

Yes it's nerfed you can't use 2 Freeze Traps at once or 2 Wyvern Stings.

I was wondering why I couldnt fd/drink during Al'ar last night.

NOOoooo! Now I have to buy pots, ew

This is ****** ridiculous.

We are the only class that has "dumb" (As in no targetting/ guide) cc, with a 20/30 ratio without putting in a decent amount of talents. Those talents which bring it to 24/20 are now useless for anything but a 4sec buffer and longer trap. Mages have sheep which has no cd, is "smart", and lasts for 30+ seconds (don't remember exact time), Warlocks have the same except for only demons/undead and can mass fear (Though that has its drawbacks), and both these classes have decent damage that's not so gear dependent.

So now my SV traping build is useless, I spent so dam much money on re-specing and re-gearing to be a decent SV hunter and now I am useless.

This "glitch" of fd drinking and trapping is ridiculous. IF SOMETHINGS NOT BROKE DON'T FIX IT!

No players have ever said OMFG NERF TRAPS!!! Thanks blizz, now I have to farm my *** off, re-spec, re-gear and fight tooth and claw for spots in raids and heroics.

So much anger. I am so glad that it is not at me, as well as being deserved.

The WoW forums thread for this has broken 650 posts in 26 hours. Almost all of it, angry posts at Blizzard, or a few by morons who never even knew it was possible.

I got post 655. I think it's fitting to go here too.

"Ban a lock's ability to cast any AoE spell for the same 40 seconds after casting Howl of Terror.

Take away a rogue's ability to build combo points for the 20 seconds after using Blind.

And remove a mage's ability to cast any frost spells for 25 seconds after Frost Nova.

Then we'll have balance."

I'm just a nobody, doing what I can.

I seriously don't know how I got Scholar, or how I lost it, or even how I got it back.
