Okay, I19, great, happy, excited... and so on. I've been working my way through all *koff* of my alts and get to one of my faves, saving the best for last. A level 50 Bots/Traps MM.

So I type /respec and go through the agonizing choices of where to slot this, how to steal from that, et cetera. And get through all my set IO's down to a few left when I notice something...

Trip Mine (which I use RELIGIOUSLY) doesn't take set IO's any more? Since when? Why? What the hell?

Can anyone either a) explain this, b) point me to a thread that explains this, or c) tell me that it's a bug and will be fixed within a matter of minutes (honestly? )

Thanks all.

Happy gaming!

I just checked my arch/dev blaster and it still takes set io's. It should be accepting KB and PBAOE sets.

When I respec my Bots/Traps MM, Trip mine isn't accepting ANY sets.

Happy gaming!

Well, I don't have any MM's that are traps. Maybe someone who does will come along to let us know. In the mean time I would say /bug it just incase.

Ah, never mind... on deeper investigation, something HAS changed. Trip Mine USED to take Targeted AoE damage sets... now it takes AoE... but only PBAoE.... so my set that I am CURRENTLY using in there won't fit any more...

The problem is that there is too much blood in my alcohol system. :P

Chalk this one up to "Derp!" folks... heh heh!

Happy gaming!

Weird, I guess that changed a while back, it's been PBAoE for as long as I've been looking.

This does fit with a similar problem I had, where /traps on my MM, caltrops took TAoE, but Mids said it would take PBAoE.

It was changed last year sometime, which you weren't here to see.

If the OP hadn't respecced his character since before the change he may not have ever noticed it, since they allowed characters who already had them slotted to keep them in order to not break people's slotting.
