Everyone hege fought including myself didn't approach the traps properly. They tried to just beat him with range and anticipating where he may have tossed bear traps. I was under geared and couldn't destroy them. Traps though very viable, when approached properly (tedious duels) aren't top tier PvP builds. As for multi bear trap, yep that's a solid option. He used to use multi back in the day. Perhaps he just wanted to use the most dmging version at all times relying on the fact they are still hard to anticipate and no one destroyed them we enough.

Bear traps are not one of the skills that have their PvP damage extremely nerfed. So while disparate PvP scaling is worrisome in general, it shouldn't be particularly worrisome for the build you have in mind.

If you watch videos of Hege during the HLD tournament, bear traps are obviously strong enough to 1-shot you if build it properly.

I highly recommend choosing crit/multi over base phys damage nodes because crit scales obscenely harder than base phys with respect to overall damage.

That was my first time fighting against a bear trapper so I was kind of caught with my pants down. Have some ideas for next time, though ;)

As melee it can be tough that has to be close them(and they can camp on their traps) however I know how to counter, but i am impatient so pretty much just rush their and die either way. If I actually want to win I am pretty sure I can
