Rearming Trap

I've been noticing today that it is not activating on bosses at all. Has anyone else been experiencing this or noticing it?

    I've been getting a notification while practicing on target dummies that "Target Is Immune" for a couple of weeks, now.

    the Trap is made up of 3 parts
    1 the Root: which cannot be applied to Bosses since they are CC immune
    2 the Damage which works on bosses for me
    3 the Minor Force Buff, which prob is the main reason trap i sused in PVE.

    Which of those effects doesnt seem to work for you?

    Bosses are CC immune and if they stand on the trap you'll always get a "Target is immune" note, since you cannot CC the Boss ;)

    Not sure if this applies to Trap, but in the Dragon Bones Patch Notes, DK Talons has a note, that they will no longer do damage if the enemy can't be held. I started a DPS at Christmas, and since then I have have yet to see it actually close on the Target Dummy. So I don't use it, but I also have mained a tank since I started a year ago.

    The entire thing, it is no longer activating the damage part on bosses for me. I sat there laying just trap under a couple and it never once activated the damage.

    And the white beam is the root, I'm guessing?

    No, your arms glow white when you have minor force.

    I was referring to the GIANT white beam coming up from the enemies. Between my Arms being Purple from Spell, Weapon being Green from Lotus, Blue from 2nd cast from Fletcher flies, and every other color available. Well tracking my arms isn't the ideal method. The White beam from the enemy was rather distinct though, and used to still show up at least on the target dummies.

    To answer Northern, I assume so, you don't see the beam until the trap actually closes. So while I haven't tested it for that specifically I suspect that's true, the white beam will only show on a root. Though again, I spend at least 80% of my time on a tank, and its not really a tanking skill.

    I see, I have only ever noticed the white on the mob when the trap goes off. Never seen it persist. Will have to watch for that. And I don't really watch for sure stuff like that, the arms glowing thing, I just work through my rotations, trap is just another dot.

    Did more testing, it was still procing randomly but procing most of the time. Sorry for the confusion, the debuff wasn't showing but it was showing on dps meter.

    It still works for me, i.e. shows up in my damage parses. Now - it does have a small activation radius, so that I sometimes (often) see mobile bosses take the first activation but move out of the radius of the second. Which is why I am seriously contemplating switching the morph on all my characters (if I am going to recast it anyway, might as well get more damage and range out of it).

    But aside from that, no, it works. For me, at least.
