Forming a trapper group for UW. Have four rangers ready to go... suddenly there are three monks trying to join our group.

We of course left the leeching little buggers behind

, but when did the tide turn such that monks desire to join ranger groups?

Comedic follow-up... my wife, not a GW fan by far (sniff) is watching us trap from bed and asks "What are you all doing? Taking turns taking dumps?" After a laugh, I tried to explain that they're supposed to be planting traps in the ground, to which she replies "Well, if that's what you want to call it..."

My image of trapping is forever tainted now.

My apologies for mentioning this... but if they ever wanted to "nerf" (or pretty much end) trapping groups, all they would need to do is add an appropriate (inappropriate?) sound effect each time a ranger 'squats' to plant a trap.

You get a group of four plus trappers... forget it. You couldn't do it.

Oh no... I just thought of Aidan's Marks... I'm ruined..

...Crapping Rangers...not Trapping Rangers...forever tainted, indeed.

Everytime I see one doing a trap now, I ask, "need an exlax? Fast casting, you know!"

Oh, you mean those Mo/W? god I hate them. but had to laugh when they tried to sabotage UW for us from two sides and one of them died.

The other one tried to join the team I was creating about 10 mins later... needless to say, she did not get invited.

You know, trapping animation is not half as bat as Nature Ritual animation. The half-sitting position coupled with hand gestures suggesting immense physical effort coupled with large blue object appearing roughly under the ranger's rear end is possibly the wrongest wrongness in the history of GW

If you have a tank, a prot/healer, an ele and a necro you're faster than a trapper team, but you have to be better too.

I don't think it's ironic really, it's just the nerf bat swinging people your way. Coulda happened to any class
