Thorny Trap nerfed too?

[Katzil]

<div>I tried to do a variety of things tonite to get a feel for the changes.  I hunted greys to complete some quests I was saving up finalizing 'til go-live. I hunted greens in PoF.  I did a couple Tears Grifters' quests in Maj'Dul with a mix of blue, white, and even one yellow mob (and I too bolted mid-fight for the first time since my mid-50's).  I hunted with a group in Poet's Palace until the server went down and knocked us out as we were approaching the third floor.  I tried to use every combat ability .. in as many combinations as I could muster.</div><div> </div><div>During this session, I couldn't help but notice a rather dramatic deterioration in the effectiveness of Thorny Trap.  Grey mobs would run right through it, repeatedly.  That was rare, if not non-existent before.  Blue mobs might stick momentarily, but a hit on one was freeing up a couple at a time.  Even those that stuck were escaping very quickly. </div><div> </div><div>Please tell me I'm not being paranoid (well .. overly paranoid anyway). </div><div> </div><div>Any similar experiences.  With the loss of kiting; the loss of point-blank Stream; .. Thorny Trap was the only realistic hope we had to solo.  We certainly can't effectively deal with multiple mobs any other way that I know of. </div><div> </div><div>For reference, I'm in full cobalt/vanadium/saguaro .. with all Adept III's or better .. at level 60.</div>

<div>Aye its not a root anymore. Isnt that kinda the point with the trap?</div><div>There are several problems with the trap.</div><div> </div><div>Sometimes it just vanish the second i put it on the ground</div><div>Mobs run over it, and not getting trapped.</div><div>Mobs break out from the trap even though no damage is given to them.</div>

<div>I noticed this too last night while in a group.</div><div> </div><div>I could live with the majority of other nerfs that were done, but this one rather annoyed me.  There's no point to Thorny Trap anymore and I'm not even going to bother using it now.</div><div> </div><div>The trap is about half the size it was before and mobs are either running right through it without setting it off or they are pathing around it.  My tank had to run the mobs around my trap a bunch of times just to get it set off.  I don't see much point in wasting time on that.</div>

<div></div>YAh - I noticed this too. I planted several traps last night, and I didn't catch a single mob...no dmg to the mob and no root... :smileysad:
