I wouldn't recommend poison paired with bots at all. They are best at range(even if they like to run in and brawl at times). Maybe with the new beast set on the way, but definately not bots.

Like I said, not ultimate, but interesting. The combo would also bring a stone tanker up to 99% resistance. Not that a stone tanker needs that, but interesting none the less.

Were you a set up and pull kind of trapper, or toe bomber?

I believe that traps was designed to be a set up and pull type of set, but once we(players) got our hands on it for awhile, we discovered that as long as you can do it, traps is way more affective in a proactive role. I would have to wonder if they tweaked the set in order to reflect the more active play style, would it still be just as affective?

Also in Keyes, and lamb, why not set up your traps on the rally points for the Av's? So in lamb, on the four corners where he runs like a little girl to, and on a Keyes, to his regeneration points at the truck depot. It is even easier on a Keyes because he hits them in the same order at the same hp percentage marks.

Mind you I have never had issues toe bombing either of them. Just something to consider.

I disagree strongly.

No it isn't. If a spawn is only lasting 12 seconds you are already doing much better than average and if anything should be arguing for a nerf to the set than a buff. The only reason more people are not running traps is that they cannot wrap their head around not having to set up a death zone. In the fast paced team aspect of toe trapping before the team catches up, traps are op'd. I can't imagine running at a setting that a spawn takes 12 seconds. I would be bored out of my skull.


Because with two out and slotted, the regen is not that far off of a regen scrapper. A single power in an offensive set is not meant to replace a power in a buff set like empathy.

Also, with the amount of survivability the set provides, triage beacon is superfluous in most situations. It is great to provide a safe zone for the squishier blasters, trollers and scrappers though. That is why I take it at least.

I am not arguing against Sams point. All powers are situational, at least they should be in order to give a little flavour to the set. If my answer to every single situation is x, why bother taking anything else. Kind of like Stone tanks. Granite is just too good that most people are happy to recommend dropping all the other armours in the set once you have granite slotted. That is definitely not how the devs imagined the players would use the set. Once we get our hands on something, I imagine we often make the devs spines crawl with what we manage to make a set do.

There isn't much else in the set I would be willing to give up. Maybe triage beacon. Although I will admit, especially with the option of incarnate powers, trip mine has lost a little of its shine.

Everyone is different. I rarely take blast tier 9's for example because the drawbacks are too much to balance the awesomeness.

In the end, this thread isn't about changing traps specifically. Half the set definitely doesn't need buffs, it is already uber. That said, if the devs are willing to buff it, I will still be willing to play the set. But if more people start playing it, don't be shocked if it gets re-adjusted.

I wouldn't worry about the opinion of someone who can't put in the effort to properly use the word you.

The shell does do AOE. I am okay wth it firing faster, but doesnt really need it. If the average combat only lasts 12 seconds, you need to up your difficulty. My avaerage combat, it is not unsual for me to have 3 mortars out, and 2 is a given.

Sure, why not? Again, probably doesnt need it, but okay.

I dont see much wrong with the power really. I am pretty sure it was balanced around the idea that the trapper would set up thier traps, and pull the spawn to you. That is useless on teams, and a very tedious way to play solo. I like having the option, as my traps toon is just about my most versitile toon I have, but it has to be a VERY difficult situation to make me turtle up and set up a death zone.

I actually like it just the way it is because it is a clear skip power that I dont have to debate at all. It really is a gift from the devs.

See? I would have a hard time not taking this power. What would I have to give up for it? There isnt much in my build that I want to switch out for something else, because not only is it a power selection, but something I would probably want to slot. Cool idea though.

Yep. Braveheart 2

Sarah Palin was a producer on that film and insisted that the movie properly represent the way jobs should go to hard working Americans rather than be shunted off to commie immigrants.

Now, I know logic dictates that if they don't actually live in America, they are not immigrants, but since everyone wants to live in America, because it is the best, the whole world is really filled with commie potential immigrants. Hooah.

I have heard she is the Kwisatz Haderach. She can kill you with a punctuation mark.

It's easy to argue with anyone when you have your head up your ***.

I'm sure it seemed like a good price at the time.
