Crowd Control (CC) like a Pro

As a Hunter most of the time you are there for your nice safe ranged DPS. You can sit back and lay out a beating without ever getting hit. There are times though that you will be called upon to help out with Crowd Control (CC). When that time comes, you need to understand what you are doing and why. Many Hunters are used to soloing MOBS and many rarely work with a group. When they do trap it is just to gain space for one or two more hits. When it comes to participating in a group though, being able to trap is paramount to being invited back. So without further ado Byron "Messiah" Mudry presents help for all you Hunters out there that struggle with CC, in the form of a guide to trapping: Chain Trapping 101.

Once your target has been trapped you can continue to DPS the current kill target, however you also need to start to move. Knowing that you have a 10 second break between traps you need to start planning ahead. Using the above example of placing the initial trap 15-20 yards behind the tank spot to the right, you want to move to a spot 15-20 yards behind that initial spot but this time to the left. As soon as you are there, drop another trap and then continue DPS.

You can find all the details in our Hunter Guide - Chain Trapping 101.
