Trapper: Why IAS?

Trapper: Why IAS?

I don't understand why people put shaels (20 ias) in +3 trap claws...? Isn't casting a Trap FCR not attack? Are they just nimbus's? Just a quick question, no need to discuss tons. :grin:

 

Trap speed is based on weapon speed not fcr. If you check the guides etc, you will notice they do mention this

 

Yeah, trap laying speed is determined by IAS, not FCR.

 

True - Trap laying speed is affected by IAS but not the rate at which the traps actually fire.

 

i didnt think that the rate of fire of a trap changed, i maybe be wong, but i thought that FCR was only really used for tele/MB,
-silent @ wizardept thnx 4 clearing that up, i was pretty sure from observations from my trapper but didnt 2 make the mistake i did b4, confused, no...

 

The rate of fire on traps does not change.
The rate at which you lay traps on the ground does.

ias is required for 9 frame trap setting.
FCR is for tele/mb, which pretty much makes it a requirement for a pvp trapper not sucking.

So you need both. ias for traps, fcr for tele/mb/ph

Just clearing things up for silent since he seems a bit lost. lol @ 3 people responding with same info and silent getting confused.
