I haven't played since factions was released, so ya it has been a while. First thing I did when I got on was made a PvP trapper. When I got into a match, people started to bitch at me and saying trappers were only good in PvE?

Did Anet nerf a lot more builds while I was gone?

yea the nerfed the important skill : energizing winds = trapperz gud for zaishen elite only......

Trapping is pretty useless in pvp such as ra, ta, hb, gh...........trapperz still work in ha as sway....

Other than nerfing a spirit, no, none of the traps were affected. It's probably the combined effect of unpopularity and the difficulty of aggressive trapping (since you can't guarantee teamwork to manoeuvre into a choke point). Add to that, most of them think trapping is a bar dedicated to only setting traps.

Meh, trapping is still viable. If you don't think so, get into a Sway group at HA. The trappers are what makes that build work.
