Hunters double CC possible?Follow

#1 Apr 02 2007 at 7:52 AM Rating: Decent
Just asking for people to tell me if it is possible for a hunter to ice trap two targets. Ie lay down trap, wait till trap cooldown almost up - pull target to trap. Then Put down another trap and pull next target? I play a hunter alt but i would not say i am an expert as i mainly play a paladin. Am asking since i proposed that it may be possible for the hunter in an instance run to do this(more of asking him if its possible). Only to have him, the group leader promptly say "you noob" and boot me, the only healer.

If its possible then ok, if not my mistake.

Yes, what you're saying, IS definitely possible.

But, I'm not sure how reliable it is AFTER that point, since the hunter won't have a trap ready for a while after trapping the second mob.

If you're specced for survival and have the talent that resets hunter cooldowns you can technically have three things in ice traps if you time it right, although I don't know any surv. hunters so never seen it done with my own eyes :)

additionally just consider it this way. a hunter can trap 2 by setting one trap, waiting 30 seconds, pull and set a second one. monkey tank/kite 1 and pet tank another 1 while everyone else in your party is kiling the last mob. Just not in end raids.

Heh, I've known it was possible for some time, but as others have said, it's not always the best idea, since then you're left with no ice trap up.

I did this once, however, on accident, and everyone in the party was like "OMG you're amazing!!"

Then they both broke early and we had trouble...

I do this all the time in places that have 5-pulls or more. Shadow Labs especially. You won't be able to keep them both trapped indefinitely, but you can hopefully buy enough time to clear out the rest of the loose targets.

And on a side note, having at least Clever Traps is very important if you intend on ever trapping anything. Having 20 seconds out of 30 frozen is difficult to deal with. 26 out of 30 not so much so, since you probably have Scatter Shot or Intimidation (or Resourcefulness!)

Thanks for all the replies, at least it clears things up for me. Even though i mainly play paladin i at least like to know what other classes are capable of.
