Dealing with Bear Traps.

Hi, I really, really hate bear traps and any kind of root mechanic. Please, add something to deal with them, for example, new keystone like Resolute Technique or Unwavering Stance - immune to slows and roots (unstoppable), new flask suffix - ...of Freedom or at least add this feature to quartz flask.

Mine is much moar constructive. (:

I posted this, because i agree with you and wanted to show you, that you're not the only one who feels that bear trap has a problem.

edit:
chill, freeze, burn, bleeding, corrupting blood, curse and so on - pretty much everything can be countered except bear trap.

Ik, m8, no h8. Lets fight those pesky bear traps together.

Movement skills of any sort.

They do throw them at you.

Just pay a little more attention on what your enemy is doing rather than looking for the next pack. It's not like they're cast speed is ridiculously that you can't avoid it.

No mob uses it unless it's a Unique.

And you better pay attention to uniques.

And each of the playstyles deal with it handily if they care.

1) Melee : Close the gap first, ram target to death. Bear Trappers don't have melee skills, and by extension they will always be weaker in melee fights.

2) Ranged : Watch and snipe. Don't randomly run around, note where the bear trap ends up.

3) Casters : Hit bear traps that have been thrown and missed with aoe spells or arc. Any simple aoe spell wil ldamage and destroy bear traps.

4) Trappers : Same as Ranged.

5) Totems : Proc traps with totems, or just outsnipe the mob.

6) Summoners : Minions will deal with bear trap easily. Same in general, do not mindlessly step on bear traps.


Playing brainlessly against smart skills will result in brainless deaths. Not everything can be brute forced in the same manner.

I cleared Battletoads in the age of 12 on NES, plus every Contra without a single hit. I played WoW at top 50 world's rank guild, I am diamond in LoL for 3 seasons, but I cant dodge every single bear trap or Orra's snare.

Especially on new exile league single snare into snare leads to logout or altf4 simply because there is no counter for snare mechanic, which is really missing from the game.

^This is the correct counter. Or simply destroy them with an AOE ability.
