Guild Wars 2

Is there a reason Viper’s nest only targets 3 people rather then 5 like all the other ranger traps?

I had not realized, but it seems that it has, even before patch, only effected 3 targets rather then 5. It just seems odd to be the only trap to have a number of targets of 3. Even when we look at the DH traps, they all hit 5. Thief traps either hit 5, or are single target so it just seems odd.

Poison is op.

Nah really I’m not sure. Spider spit skill is 3 target aswell. Devourer is 5 and I am currently using it in wvw for camps. So there, that’s why. To ensure devourer stays viable!

indeed, it is only 3. I imagine if it affected all 5, it would be OP.

How would it be op at 5?

It wouldn’t be OP if it hit 5. Probably an oversight that it doesn’t affect 5 targets as all other traps.

yeah I was just testing it. changed my mind, needs moar targets. make sure to report in bug forum, ranger thread

Skill should also apply 2 stacks of Poison per pulse.

Pls Change this with target increase XD

Uhm no. 3 stacks per pulse is completely justified.

Skill is listed as 3 target. That it affects 3 targets isn’t a bug, it’s a surprise.

Yes, the skill matches the description, and as I said even when I go back and look at previous versions of the skill on the Wiki it stated that is targeted 3 not 5.

It just seems odd as to why, as others said, I would hardly consider it effecting 5 people to be OP, so it just strikes me as it is that way because of reasons…..

LOL, sry, u’re right. Skill discription is 1 stack. I testet and saw, it’s 3 stacks. In that case u’re right. 3 is great =)

Almost every Ranger AoE only affected 3 targets at a time at launch. Anet has verrrrry slowly been working their way to fixing this to bring us in line with other classes but obviously have a ways to go.
