Once a hunter lays a trap it doesn’t activate right away. It’s having a 2-3 second delay before it is triggered. Trap’s radius has been lowered so this is a big PvP nerf.

Snake Trap - Rank 1: Requires Level 68
305 Mana - Instant cast - 30 sec cooldown
Place a trap that will release several venomous snakes to attack the first enemy to approach. The snakes will die after 15 sec. Trap will exist for 1 min. Only one trap can be active at a time.
Yes, snakes are mobs that can be targeted. There are 6 to 10 snakes that come out of the trap (oh $h1%, we’ve got Snakes on a Trap!) and attack random targets within 10 yards of the trap. The snakes do physical damage and apply random poisons (ie: mind numbing, crippling, and a deadly poison). They don’t do a lot of damage individually, but in total the damage is meaningful. The snakes will chase the same distance mobs normally chase. The snakes move at normal mob speed (although their victims may be affected by crippling poison).
