I purpose that you just add damage. I personally would think that getting struck by a dozen sharpened pieces of wood through the legs would hurt. I would say add 15-40 pts of damage and that would keep it balanced and more useful rather than just adding a cripple.

thats just barbed trap you described......

maybe add weakness to the mix and decrease recharge to 10 secs?

Although a trap that would daze would be kinda neat as well. But it would prolly be considered to be overpowering. (daze + cripple = casters worst nightmare)

I think what Drithlan means is that barbed trap is also a dozen wooden spikes. They're not talking about what it does as far as the game engine is concerned (it bleeds and cripples you), they're talking about what it does in the game world (it stabs wooden spikes into your legs).

Really, the animation for Snare is wrong. It should be a looped rope snapping at your legs and holding you down.

A REAL buff to snare would be immobilization (like 75% slow) vs cripple.

That's kinda my point, I have not stated and I'm sorry. Snare would be like some rope or string across the path that cripples you and trips you in the process hence the Knockdown.

Do you guys realize that the trigger and effect on this is larger than other traps? Or am I imagining that?

Phoenix Arrows · Jul 20, 2006, 02:47 AM // 02:47

KD on this trap would make it too powerful. Most KDs have a drawback: exhaustion, elite, loss of adrenaline, long recharge, or any combo.

Suggestion - casting to 1 <or> recharge to 15

Both would make it too powerful.

Kool Pajamas · Jul 20, 2006, 04:38 AM // 04:38

I agree either lower cast time, or recharge time, or maybe make it uniterruptible. err....not easily interruptible anyway

Then I agree it should cause knockdown, but not cripple. Getting your foot caught in a rope probably won't get you crippled unless you have to chew your leg off or you fall on it baddly, which would be rare.

If it does do knockdown it should have a higher energy cost.

IDEA

make the trap *HOLD* the foe on that spot for 3....10 seconds but no conditions, just that is powreful enouth IMO

so for that amount of time that foe cant leave that spot AT ALL, unless he dies and gets rebirth from an ally or use teleportation skills like assassin or necro.

just to add a new effect to the traps. might as well make it an elite........lol

he he he so many opportunities in HA....

True, it should do SOMETHING other than Cripple...

Its Cast Time is the same..its Recharge is the same...The cost difference is minimal due to Expertise...

It sohlud do SOMETHING unique...Theres just no reason to bring this over Barbed.

The perfect fix for me....1 second cast time...I think thats appropaite...It does no Dmg..only cripples..same recharge and such as others...1second cast can be its advantage, then Anet could justify its existence by saying "if someone is chasing you..in 1 sec you can potentially set this and snare them to run from them"....Though Barbed trap would still be used by trappers...It would atleast have an EXCUSE to be in the game..

5e for a trap? I'm not complaining...

The milk shake · Jul 20, 2006, 07:58 AM // 07:58

nah, i think it would make more sense to buff otyughs cry, personally i think they should add some damage to snare instead

samifly · Jul 20, 2006, 08:50 AM // 08:50

Make it do the same thing as the Ice in grottos.
