You aren’t using traps correctly, at a conceptual level.

This is such a helpful post that I need to +1 it. I mean you really out did yourself with all that detail and insight.

The traps are conceptually meant to discourage those from getting to close to you so you can pee pee at them safely and I dragon them with traps if they get to close.

I have to agree with op, traps are very very pvp oriented imo, as DH you want to stay as far away as possible yet you can only meele trap wich means traps are useless in PvE, unless very certain situations. I can see their value in PvP, not so much in PvE :/ Wich is a shame, they look great

Hey, I put in at least as much effort in my posts as the OP does. Sometimes more, but never less.

I’m enjoying DH so far. The Bow is decent, the traits are ok but i just can’t make sense of traps. There is a trait that increases damage done the further you far from a target, yet you lay traps at your feet?

So I’m supposed to run in and make myself vulnerable, lay traps, then run back losing damage? That just seems like a design flaw.

DH traps seriously need to be thrown at range.

Also not sure if its a bug or not but I placed 3 traps down under Teq several times during the fight and they didn’t activate once.

Unlike Rangers DH don’t lose dps when they get close on the bow. Stationary mobs don’t trigger traps. You can’t place a trap under someone feet and if the never talk a step they wont trigger it (he may trigger it on his return not sure).

As a Guardian/Hunter its not hard to port in and blind/KD/aegis and lay your traps. As with all things you have to pick your fights, So you have to go to and some will come to you.

I’m sure you should take a choke point, use the massive AOEs to take crowded enemies down, while using the traps and melee to block of&skill any who managed to get close.

A really big example is standing on a one way corridor, put traps beneath your feet, shoot the enemies and move to the opposite direction of your enemy, forcing them to either take distance or eat the traps and die if there’s enough of them.

Welp, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

The only thing we lose is 7% damage bonus from our minir trait. Care to explain how he is wrong beyond that? Medi leap mid trueshot cast is brital in pvp for example.

Playing dragonhunter in pve in hot maps, having the secuirty of traps to wreck any of the billio s of movs that like to charge you from range is hoghly useful. Traps arent all perfect for sure, such as the heal trap needing to trigger on you or allys health similar to rangers instead of on only foe passing it, but they certainly help make it easier to deal with foes that are otherwise a huge hassel. Rolling devils, mushroom chargers, pocket raptors, and the vampire beasts melt to traps

Aside from that? What a lolworthy request. That’s like asking how cars are useful to every day folks aside from their ability to transport things. You can’t just rule out the entire point of something just because you want to disagree with my statement..

His statement: DH doesn’t lose DPS when going in close. Reality: DH loses a 6% damage modifier. Fact: DH loses DPS when going in close.

It’s 6%

Have a nice day, you are unreasonable.
