Traps, is Poison Gas Trap really that bad?

I like traps. I like the FF Gen and stuff, but the one thing that I always loved was the poison gas trap. I love the way it makes people choke and vomit and gives some really nice debuffs. I keep hearing how bad it is though and it always scares me away from making traps.. I would rather roll a FF toon if the Poison gas really is that terrible.


When all hope seems to have drifted away.. and the shadows of death creep closer. Do not fear or cower.. do not make peace or seek salvation. For I will be there, supporting your movement. So give me your pain, weakness, despair, fear and doubt.. The Light will grant you another stand.

What? PGT is awesome. It may have been better at one point, but that is because it was horribly awesomely broken. Now it is just plain uber.

PGT is one of they best debuff powers in the game and with a chance for hold proc can easily lock down a whole spawn.

People are most likely getting PGT confused with Poison Trap from the /Poison set which does indeed suck all kinds of pancake.

Fixed that for you.

One of the major changes to /poison in i21 is that Poison Trap is no longer a 'skip this unless you have no other option for a set mule' power.

On topic: Poison Gas Trap from /Traps is one of the best -regen powers in the game. Take it, slot it, love it.
