Hunter trap change?

Unread post by Sukurachi »

So in order to reduce button bloat, Blizzard has removed a bunch of abilities.

in the process of removing button bloat, however, it would seem someone neglected to mention that removing a single "traps" button would create NEW button bloat.

I can't find anything in my spell book, other than the traps themselves. there's no pull-down menu item you can add to your action bar with all of your traps on it (well, "all"... two of them for BM).

Again, am I missing something? is there another menu somewhere else that has the items I'm looking for?

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"

I was just talking about this with my friend, it's so ridiculous how they want to clean up our action bars and cut down on button bloat but they remove the single trap button, and they also removed the aspects bar too.

Sucks..

Then again, traps are reduced to 3 only (Freezing, Ice, Explosive), so it's not that bad. If you want Snake back you have to glyph for it, and it replaces Ice if I'm not mistaken.

but three traps is still two more actionbar slots than before.

One thing (coming from the Beta/Ptr) regarding traps, is that they used to shoot a LOT faster (Travel time) compared to the now live version. I'm not sure why it was changed, but today they seems to traveling excessively slow compared to the Beta/Ptr that I was already used to, though they do trigger a lot faster once reaching their destination compared to prior. I was really OK with the removal of Scatter Shot due to this faster/insta trap launcher, but now it's live, it feel much slower. In PVP or fast moving Mob, they can still side step out of the way or run past the landing point after you have launched the trap and it's in in the air due to the travel speed :|

I had all my traps out on my action bar anyways, with hotkeys. Clicking flyout bars just doesn't work in pvp, or a lot of pve situations either. I guess it wouldn't be so bad for everyone else if you could build your own flyout button using a macro command.

Mm, same here. The extra click it took to have them fly out wasn't worth it in most cases so I had a little action bar near the aspects with all of my trap buttons laid out on it. Still, I find it odd they wouldn't keep the option there.
