There is a bit of stuff in here that isn't completely accurate regarding traps. Traps certainly can be annoying, but its by no stretch of the imagination an "I win" button.

Re: huntress yell then entering that just seems like a mismanaged defense, a thief can't get to the huntress while staying hidden and they cant lay traps in combat.

If you haven't played one, I think you should play a trapper and get a feel from the other side of the coin.
