thanks, a few moreFollow

wow, im very happy with how quickly i received responses to my first post, and thank you to those who helped. i have a couple things im still not clear about, so if anyone has any experience with any of these your help is appreciated. 2,5,6,7 have been answered :)
1.do spells like "silence" also interrupt like "earth shock" or just prevent future cast.
3.can the hunters enemies see his flares? or only friendlys? (if rogues could see them, they could just avoid them?)
4.does draining mana count as damage?, will viper sting break freezing trap? etc.
8.do spells like totemic call reset your mana regeneration counter? (if so, if not used at the right time these spells wouldnt benefit you as much)
thanks again

I just tested #4 and it appears that Viper Sting is breaking my trap.

I'd have to test it more to be 100% sure though.

Some spells, like Counterspell (Earth Shock too i think) will stop you casting a spell, and stop you from casting spells of that type for a few seconds (for example, if you're casting a fire spell and I Counterspell you, you can't do any firespells, but can still do frost ones)

The Warlock's Felhound has Spell lock, which stops any spell you're casting and silences for for 2 seconds.

I think he can avoid them, but if he goes to near or through them he will show up.

You flare an area you think they maybe in or flare the area you are in so they don't get to stealth up on you.

If you're doing a battleground, then the easiest way to **** off a rogue as a hunter is to flare right at the flag and stand close to it. That way if a rogue is trying to sneak up on you and ninja the flag, you'll have the advantage. However, if the rogue notices the flare, you're only delaying him a few seconds because one of two things will happen:
1.) He waits for backup.
2.) He waits til the flare goes out.

Or, if it's a shadowstep rogue, he'll just shadowstep you, which gives .25 seconds of being directly behind you before stealth breaks, which is more than enough time to get a cheapshot in.

But if you take a rogue out of stealth, you 've just removed half of his advantage.

Also, if you have a trap set up and there is a rogue in the area, then try landing that flare really close to the trap because otherwise a rogue is just going to disarm it.

cool, to bad about viper/freezing. anyway, did you see the new patch said more then one target can be effected by freezing trap at a time. usually the traps say "no more then one trap can be active at any one time", that obviously means you cant set a fire trap and a then a frost trap, but can you have someone in a freezing trap and lay a fire trap with them still held?. is the rogues detect traps a passive ability, and does it work well/is it easy to disarm the traps once detected? thanks guys, i would test some of these myself but i have to get my subscription back up, these forums are a comfort for the loss :( lol

As far as I know, only physical damage can break a trap.

The patch notes are referring to how hunter traps used to be. In the previos patch, our particular Freezing Trap was only able to affect 1 target at a time. Meaning that you couldn't lay a Freezing Trap down, wait for your cooldown, trap your mob, and lay one immediately down to trap another mob. You'd get your 2nd mob trapped, but then your first one would come un-done.

Now since the patch, things are back to normal, you can now trap multiple targets again. Lay your Freezing Trap, wait for your cooldown to pop up (remember your traps stay on the ground for a total of 1 minute so you have plenty of time to wait). Pull your targets, and trap one of them, continue to back up (if necessary) and immediately put out your 2nd Freezing Trap, the 2nd mob that was pulled will get caught in that trap. Now you have 2 mobs frozen in place for 20 seconds (normal duration without talents).

Survival Spec'd Hunters can trap up to 4 to show off, but efficiently they can safely keep 2 constantly trapped, or we can keep 3 trapped for a good 20-26 seconds a piece and then resort to keeping 1-2 consistantly trapped afterwards. It all depends on the situation.
