Suggestion for Traps changes

So I finally was able to catch the Freedom Fridays Q&A on Facebook (kudos to the team for having this). I had a question about Traps that went like this:

The game has evolved to a face paced type of game play. Any plans on reworking sets such as Traps to keep pace with the change of pace? Such as removing or allowing interrupt slotting in trip mines or getting rid of time bomb (arguably the worst power in the game) in lieu of something else such as Director 11's multiple mine lay?

This was the response

We are always looking to see whether certain powers or Power Sets can be balanced to make them better, or more viable choices. You might want to post those suggestions for Traps on the forum.

Now I know for a fact that slight tweaks to Traps have been mentioned before on the forums but I'm not sure if there was a dedicated thread so I'm taking the advice and making a thread.

Crossing my fingers and hoping for one if not both to happen...


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Im all in favor to change traps. I vote to make the final power another robot pet of some sort. How about a mine layer? The bot doesnt attack directly, but scoots around and drops mines behind it? or a bot with a debuff aura? Maybe a tesla coil on lets that shoots chain lightening/lightning field?Or shoots missles? Or something that confuses enemies? like a mind control dart shooting bot? or even turn time bomb into a toggle where when we turn it off it explodes?


Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.

Meh, forget leaving mine laying to a pet AI (bad idea), let mines be targeted powers. Let the player throw a mine or gas trap or something that either waits for a mob or detonates if it's thrown into one.
