So with the nerf to Energizing Wind how many traps can be laid in 70 or so seconds? I know I was able to manage around 11 before and I was wondering how (if possible) is anyone able to lay enough to solo kill the AAtaxes now. Can you gimp on the other attributes to raise beast mastery up enough to accomplish this or will that make the damage from dust trap too low to effectively kill them?

I have been playing around with this and was wondering if anyone else has come up with a way to stay solo in the UW.

i was soloing UW other day but requires quite some time and pulling the aatxes, can only kills aatxe/grasps so far.
preferbally id take barb arrows over barb trap but the snare is kinda useful when they get too close
heres a screenshot:

hmm i guess if you only have ranger then why not try the ele tank, i would use the stone striker, stone flesh and the other one that reduces damage, the elite to stop spells then storm chaser to get 5 energy back every time u get hit and maybe stone daggers or sliver or something to do damage no reason why it shouldnt work but will prob be bit slower than monk solo or rit solo

Its not that I only have a ranger - actually I have a couple others that could solo the UW. Its just that I enjoy solo trapping and now with the nerf to energizing wind I'm wondering if its even possible any more.

This isn't about the drops or money (god knows there are faster ways than this), its about a play style that I really enjoyed and now it looks like that it has been gimped quite a bit.

THis Nerf Leaves EW almost Useless, by the time you calculate the energy spend to to cast EW and one trap before the spirit expires you just as well not use EW ever and trap without...completely screwing one of the oldest builds and a whole portion of the ranger class. all i can say is this sucks for trappers and think they should reconsider the changes
