Guild Wars 2

I do not understand why the Poison Trap does not have a field as all the other traps minus spike, which causes 2 condition’s. Can someone please explain to me why Viper’s nest does not cause a poison field as all the other condition traps.

Because visually, the trap consists of Snakes climbing out of the ground . I don’t think I ever heard of snakes exploding into clouds of poisonous gas before. To be fair, it does do more physical damage than the Flame Trap does, and definitely does more than the Frost trap which does no damage at all.

It does more damage than flame trap? Didnt know that

More physical – the snakes deal more damage than the exploding flames.

Not being picky but … half of our traps have field and the other don’t.
Frost and Flame traps have, Viper and Spike don’t. and that is it.

But I agree that Viper should have a poison field.

and a weakness effect …. hell yea me want

Ranger traps being underwhelming shouldn’t come as much of a shock. Most Ranger utility skills can be summed up in 3 letters …meh…

I believe the trap only affects 3 targets too? We had a thread several months back talking about how a lot of Ranger AE was limited to 3 targets and don’t recall what the status of this trap was.

But yes, Spike and Viper traps should both provide a field otherwise what good are they?

I truthfully believe they should be activated or have the ability to be popped to use the field as we see fit, & ground targeting traps …..This is terrible…an asura kid could throw things farther.

Yup, viper is still an only 3 target aoe.

Which I am now 100% sure, that the reason involves our pet in some way, instead of being an actual issue with the skills or class itself.
