Now the question: If we can only double trap, would the hunter community settle with it as a sacrifice to at least get double trapping back? Personally, I think it's a fair trade, but then again, I've never really been in a position in which I wished I could triple trap. I can't talk for the SV hunters who can triple trap, and then chain trap the remaining two.
Triple trapping + chain trapping is a myth. If you trap two mobs, Readiness and then trap a third, when the first trap breaks you're going to have to kite it for a few seconds before you can get that mob in a fourth trap. By then, the second mob you trapped has also most likely broken out and you've got nothing for it. By the time you kite that one around and get it into a trap, the last mob you trapped is going to break out (if it hasn't already).
Sustained double trapping is about the best a properly specced/geared SV Hunter can do. Readiness makes that a little easier, but you can only go so long before what you're really doing is kiting one mob while the other is trapped and then trapping the kited mob and kiting the trapped one.
If you're in a situation where your group requires you to triple trap, you're in a shoddy group. If you're in a group with a Hunter who insists on being allowed to triple trap, he's just stroking his e-peen.
Aside: I can't believe all of the Hunters on the O-boards asking for
more stuff. We just got spammed with the buff stick, had it announced that a stealth "bug fix" is being reversed in our favor, and you've still got folks complaining that it's not enough.
Oy.
