Trapping Webs - No one activates synergy

MindOfTheSwarm

I think it’s time we all admitted that no one really cares about activating the synergy on this skill. Why not?
It actively buffs your DPS by giving you another source of passive damage.

But the issue is that it is awkward to activate. Can’t we just allow the player who cast the ability to activate their own synergy? Then at least we can get one person if no one else to activate the thing.

Or reverse the skill into summoning the spider and then the synergy have the spider shoot the web and reduce the armor of the enemies it hits?

if i see the synergy pop up i activate it, hardly ever see it though

Trapping Webs needs a complete overhaul to begin with. It might be the most worthless skill in the game. Aside from the synergy issue, the cc is weak, even with the fear morph, as is the spider damage. Then there is the 10 second proc time for the original damage, for a skill that does not cc or fear a boss. And PVP? LOL. Not a chance

I try to, but it pops up and disappears pretty quickly. I've also noticed people rarely seem to use my bone shield synergy. (PvP)

I also do not use this skill on any of my many alts, I agree that Trapping Webs are useless skill and there are many more interesting to choose.
Though occasionally when I see the synergy popping up I usually try to hit the key, but to be honest I often forget under which key I mapped the synergy .

i try to use the synergy when i can, but this synergy in particular is very finnicky

you only have like 5 sec to activate it, and you have to be directly targeting an enemy within range to get it to work since it spawns the spider on the target

i would agree with others here that theres very few people that even use this skill to begin with

It's actually a really strong synergy, but it's tricky to use because it requires a specific range for synergy targeting. I do agree it needs a bit of an overhaul though because as of right now, I only see it used in VERY niche situations in very sweaty groups.

Even without the synergy, the DPS/resource for the Shadow Silk morph is decent if you land both hits. Admittedly, this is really only practical against a stationary target (so yeah, almost useless in PVP). You also have to be careful not to recast it before the second hit or you lose it. Not bad for parsing, but hard to use effectively in real combat.
