Trapping is better - finally.

thank you blizzard gods.

Distracting Shot will now be a "Mocking Blow"-esque taunt (so it will taunt the mob onto the Hunter for 6 sec). This will allow you to "peel" monsters to you (and thus to a trap) a lot easier than it is now.
A fail proof pulling mechanic that actually does it's job... woot.
Inc macro: /castsequence distracting shot, feign death

Camouflage - We'll be introducing this new spell at level 80. It will give you limited stealth capabilities. A bonus with it is that you can lay your traps while Camouflaged and it won't break the stealth, allowing you to setup your traps before a pull if desired.
You mean, we can like, actually set it closer than 30 yards? zomg.

Freezing Trap will no longer break on damage 100% of the time. It will still break on damage, but on x amount. So if the mob has a DoT on them, or the mob gets cleaved while in Freezing Trap, it won't just immediately break. Because of this, we're canning Bear Trap (since Freezing Trap will accomplish what Bear Trap was intended for, plus you guys have enough keybinds as it is). Note that we don't intend Freezing Trap to be a stun, so the tuning on how much damage will break it will be important.


I didn't like bear trap anyway. At least now I won't have to unbind my tab key.

Oh, and here's the source http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=8765641671&pageNo=1&sid=2000#16

I wonder if the new Camo skill will let you move around while stealthed, or will it be more like Shadowmeld. if you can move, my guess is that it will be for 10 seconds or something else that limits its usefulness
