Un-nerf trapping [PLEASE VIEW AND RATE!]

The new nerf on trapping makes trapping useless. It was already hard to trap as it was, now the trapper has huge energy management problems and the traps that he does lay don't do any dmg...so he usually dies like a small dog. Trapping is no fun anymore not to mention useless, the guild wars support team told me to post my message here so you guys can view it, agree with me, and give it a 5 rating. Only then will they "consider" my idea.
PLEASE RATE THIS POST! : D

What was the new nerf?

Energizing Winds, I'd assume.

Which died because lame HA buildz r lame.
Good riddance.

halfs dmg of dust traps and shorted ew by ALOT

oh by the way dudes if ur posting here rate this sh*t

Traps have been a bit bad for a while now, id like to see a bit more fire power added to them, perhaps at the cost of recharge, you know make it so one flame trap accually deos somthing, with the easily interuptable status needed to spam them really makes them not very vaible anywhere.

So i think, buff traps, leave EW. Forget farming builds they dont matter, make traps worthy in pvp imo.

Dust Trap's damage hasn't been changed recently, EW was nerfed because of PvP.

Just tried my trapper build using Barbed, Flame and Dust trap and don`t understand the problem, seems the same. Maybe I use it for a different purpose or something.

I`ll rate this thread as 0/10 for explantion of problem.

BTW. what update? Never noticed it or is it some future planned update? If so you should have said so again a 0/10.

I so agree with you on trapping. ANET please stop nerfing my PvE just to make the PvP happy. I know there are those that like PvP but I like a good story, hunting down that perfect bow, and questing.

I'm guessing you're talking about solo-farming with traps using EW no longer works very well. Balancing a team game around the effectiveness of a skill in solo play is a really bad idea, to put it mildly. So, even though I played that solo trapping build and enjoyed it, I do not agree at all. You asked for a rating, so I'll add a 1 for you.

hey man screw u i did explain the problem... : /
we cant fricking trap anymore.. period
well i mean i can trap cuz im leet but its really tough and hard mode is out of the question

lol
this thread is a joke
QQing about not being able to farm as solo trapper is not a valid reason to be buffing something that was nerfed in the first place for the sake of game balancing, i.e. EW duration and cost (assuming thats the nerf ur talking about, and btw dust trap hasnt been nerfed to half dmg, so 0/10 for proper explanation of the issue for me too)

You cant solo trap anymore and? Trapper group still work, so no problem. They nerfed a solo build, then learn to fix it... and stop whining... 0/10 for this crap thread...

Dude don't get mad, mostly it is pvp here, you should have expected this reaction. They don't understand what we are talking about and they are scared that they will have a new challenge.

1. Pets got nerfed because pvp so Barrage / Necro / Pet no longer works.
2. EW got nerfed because of pvp.

And forget about posting here to get anything like this changed. From what I have seen ANET consideres PvP the most important area. For prof read some of the stuff anet employees post at the guild wiki.

Good try, rating 10/10

dont nerf skill cuz of pvp, just nerf pvp and it'll be fine for everyone

more seriously, traps are so slow, never had a use for that in pve, just use another char for farming^^

Caturday is calling.
Must... resist... Gaaaaaah!

I am an elite pve player (call me elitist first plz)

The pets nerf was absolutely ridiculous imo. Or at least they should make it localized to pvp.

However, when the only thing affected is only one SOLO FARMING build, it doesn't matter at all. Adapt a bit. One solo farming build is not as important as HA.

no u didn`t.
yes I can.
no ur not.
LOL u just made my day.

Pure Pwnage!

I hardly think that just rating this thread a 5 will get enough attention to make the Guild Wars team revert trapping back to how it was. They only really consider changing the game mechanics if the majority of players agree, and make a big fuss about it.

Having traps just for farming, and having little other use other than the trapper in HA, is stupid. They want to make them less useable for farming, and maybe they'll change traps to make them more versatile.

As for the energy management problem with EW, again, they aren't ruining your pve experience, just stopping people from solo farming in the UW (affects GW economy).

Basically, they aren't doing anything without having thought about it.

lulz. Someone's obviously new in town. I wish that were true.
