✭Yes, this does seem extremely stupid. You revamp the AOE cap but reduce the amount of targets hit by snare?? Perhaps consider 16 targets or something... but 6?Lastobeth - VR16 Sorc - PvP Rank 41 (AD)

✭✭I get what you guys are saying, but using caltrops versus 6, or even in a 1vs1 situation, is useful at times.You earned the 500 LOLs badge.

Sorry, its not worth a spot on the bar. At the very least they should have made the full damage (to the first 6) meaningful.4 -
Goldie✭✭✭✭✭This is used to slow down enemies who are raging into wall breaches. Now, there is no slowing down large mobs. So what use is caltrops, if it is only snaring 6 out of 50 players?

Goldie✭✭✭✭✭So from now on, the weakest 6 players in my groups go first to use up the 6 player snare,
then the OP squad comes in to wipe the hopeless defenders, unchecked, full speed ahead....Edited by Goldie on 27 January 2015 19:57"Wood Elves aren't made of wood. Sea Elves aren't made of water. M'aiq still wonders about High Elves" - M'aiq the Liar4 -

Not talking about ganking. Referring to groups stealthing up at resources and keeps. Allows you to detect them at a range you can't do with potions.
Think beyond the the snare. There is more to the ability than just that.Formerly @Persian_Princess .. Now @Asgari

I have no idea, the patch notes weren't that specific regarding the snare, only the part I quoted."Wood Elves aren't made of wood. Sea Elves aren't made of water. M'aiq still wonders about High Elves" - M'aiq the Liar0 -

✭Caltrops is one of the most useful PVP skills out there. If you have unlocked it but are not using it, you are doing something wrong.
Caltrops is the first skill I use when entering a battle (except for 1v1s). The snare is very good, and it has a noticeable impact on the battle. Enemies have to leave the area any time caltrops are down.
Also, most people don't realize this, but Caltrops dramatically increases your AP gain. Its area of effect is huge, and you get AP for each enemy killed that has touched your caltrops. It's not uncommon for me to get 50 to 100 AP per kill in a very large battle (without being grouped) simply because I have spammed caltrops a few times.0 -

It will still, but ZOS already stated they are removing the ability to block ground aoe like caltrops in a later patch, so it won't drain stamina then.Doesnt it still drain stamina from blocking users....
Also, I just want to point out what all the organized guilds are thinking but won't say: no one cares about caltrops on breaches currently anyways because Retreating Maneuvers, so this isn't really much of a change to the meta tbh. You're welcome.Edited by Teargrants on 28 January 2015 03:52POST EQVITEM SEDET ATRA CVRA
