there is some kind of bug in traps when i stack traps say i put a 70 %
3 25% it sometimes will not use one it may use the 3 25% traps and wont use the 70% flint trap i still kill the boss but it should not skip over traps like that not when there stacked i use balance traps , flint , fire trap , and fuel all these should stack and they do but sometimes it will skip a trap like flint or the balance fire trap. Fuel i know gives 3 and will be 2 left . just thought i would say something not sure if this is happening to anyone else.

cheers :)

The only time that I have seen a trap skipped, is when:

You cast feint on your opponent, which is a mob or a boss, then the Mob or the boss casts feint...

Then, when you hit the mob or boss, it uses the 30% from their feint and not your feint...

Yes, this is a glitch, because it only happens when fighting a mob or boss... It should activate both traps...

My suggestion is to send in a support ticket...

i'm not certain it is a glitch, cause it can work in your favor, too. if they cast the feint on you first, then you cast one on them, the 30% will then go off first on you and the 70% first on them. it may be the only potential advantage for going second. i don't know if this works the same way in pvp or not, though. in pve it can be useful as is, though. -eli and crew

This happens sometimes even if the boss does not play flint, mostly if a death in party and plays a +20% on top of my flint. Even so all traps should activate . I'll try to take a screen shot next time idk whats going on with it.

It's the same theory. If someone puts on a newer trap, that doesn't stack with your previous ones then yes it will not activate all the traps. Trap stacking requires coordination from all wizards and in the right order.

I actually had this problem for a while- not using feint at all as I never liked it.
If I laid down a trap after my +30% death trap, the +30% wouldn't activate. It would be the +20% damage Curse trap that I have generally.
Even after using the +20%, using another spell without adding more traps still wouldn't activate it.

One workaround I can suggest is figure out which one is the one that gets skipped most and lay it down last. It's the only thing that worked for me.
