Antynomity Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I just want to make a post about how something that requires you to be in full bloom (upkeep) and also replace any bramble traps that run out of durability (upkeep) is not deserving of any sort of nerf, they can't even directly get triggered by all mobs, so they do not need a nerf in a game all about upkeep because this perk and the traps themselves are more of said upkeep. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MondayNight Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 You mean this thing: ? I've seen Wormwoods being kicked/banned from pubs for making this on Hounds Trap fields. Why? Simple: it harms players as well. How can this be "OP" in any shape or form? If anything, is "underpowered" aka undesirable by the simple fact it harms allies.

Ah, got it, is a new Wormwood Tree Skill perk. But for people not investing in that, Bramble Trap still got the con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested this and they do not deal damage to other players when PvP is enabled. However: regardless of whether you have the skill, or whether PvP is enabled, bramble traps have never activated from player movement. So the only change this skill makes is that you and other players (enemy or not) won't take damage if they're standing by a mob that triggers a bramble trap.

abrocator Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 This skill looks okayish at first glance as an average player with average motivation and abilities. The thing about this kind of skill though is that someone can probably spend between 45 minutes and 5 hours worth of prep time (resources and placement) in order to kill some kind of raid boss. Probably. (Theorycrafting.) This mere possibility is in tension with the primordial anti-OP force of the Forum; these things cannot exist peacefully for a sufficiently long time, and thus it will either need to be nerfed or else we will have to suffer an exponential increase in threads about “Power Creep”. Which will not abate until the Forum quits DST (unlikely despite protestations) or, again, it is nerfed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gashzer Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Bramble trap specialist skill needs to also allow bramble traps to trigger on flying mobs like bees, dragonfly and bee queen. This would make bramble traps really useful for bee queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't broken after fiddling with it. it was more of a kneejerk reaction to seeing a new strategy that was opened up with the skill. It is fine as is.

Doesn't matter if it got the twitter ratio treatment if it still sways balancing into a bad change that serves nothing but to handicap an already expensive and mediocre strategy.
