Longer lasting traps make Kalli a happy hunter. :)

I'm a bit surprised to see that, seeing as it wasn't all that long ago that they reduced them down to 30sec in the first place. Mind you, I'm certainly not complaining about having them last a minute again! :)

Trap launcher still seems to be a bit expensive, but it's hard to tell without having actually used it in some dungeons.

Now if only they'd fix the BM, we'd be good.

Yeah, according to Frostheim, BM is well behind MM, and MM is down from live. :(

Not sure how many of the huge nerfs are gonna get to 4.0.1, and which ones are still to hit us with the Cata release (or 4.0.3 patch).

BM is fine once you can get past 80 and get Cobra and start rolling.

Yea I know it was more a silver lining light at the end of the tunnel post from me I guess. As in it will all work out a bit better at least come Dec 7th.

Blizz aren't going to do much to ensure that 4.01 is super-balanced, because it all goes out the window come 7th December, just as nobody really cares how level 70s stack up against each other much.

Well, the only silver lining is that I've stopped raiding for now unless I find a new guild.

I might buy a lk 25 kill, but other than that.... Only would pug a 25 for a chance at dbw

Yup. Shame though that WotLK gave puggers a big head thinking GS means everything and that 15k dps wins the fight and you dont have to coordinate.
