Hi all,
So last night I'm in AB trying to take lumber mill with a group. I pop over the hill, target a rogue, put my pet on it and go into my shot rotation. The rogue is taking damage, and attacking another hunter. I see the rogue flash, ah ok... he's getting healed, i switch targets to the priest that just arrived, and finish her off with help, then return to the rogue to finish him. About this time another rogue does me in, and i'm sitting waiting for rez when I see this comment 'LVL 66 HUNTER PLEASE CONTROL YOUR PET!' So I respond, 'what the problem?' Turns out he tried to frost trap the rogue i switch targets off of, but since i didn't switch my pet (i figured i had help on the priest, and i was switching back to rogue shortly) it broke the trap and he died...
Now honestly I gave up using freeze traps in BG a while ago, unless i was certain i was the only one on the target. They just get broke too many times to be useful all that often. I mean honestly i would have just broken his trap with an arrow, if I was still on it. (Of course if he noticed me switch targets, i understand his frustrations, but he didn't appear to be that aware...) Usually if I can't shake someone and I figure i'm dead, I resort to one of the DoT traps to keep the damage up after i die. However this got me wondering what other hunters do, obviously not everyone has the same strategy.
So how do people use traps in BG? do people use a macro announcing a freeze trap? avoid them mostly? Anyone have a similar problem?
