******EVERY****** time someone rolls up who a) can't be killed, b) is effective at stopping others from steamrolling the playerbase, or c) steamrolls the playerbase themselves, people complain. How many people complained about how hard it was to fight Ravon? Yet, before a drow AP started kicking ass, people would have laughed at the combo.
If anything, we should be applauding Flaayin. He took a combo no one else wanted to try and made it successful. That he makes it look as effortless as he does is a further kudos because both of those paths are insanely hard to play by themselves let alone together. Here's a quote or two:
"Trapper: Quite possibly the most funky or useless path to play depending on who you ask. Your traps have high failure rates, but long durations when they work (except knock-out traps). Your traps also all double as a poor man's snare, since they sure as hell don't tell you when someone stumbles into them like a ranger's snare does. The incurable blindness and broken bones are nice, I guess. Seriously, you want to see how trappers fight and how bad they are, log search Maethron the Tribunal provost thief trapper. The ONLY thing that guy had going for him was permahasted lieutenants, circle stab, manacles, and that his traps were mildly annoying to raiders but hardly fight turning... ...You don't even start traps until the last half of this path. This path probably needs to be deleted from the game, or revamped with a ton of edges. " - Scrimbul, Thief FAQ, Dio's
"Note: You might have to be completely insane to play a half-trapper half- poisoner thief, but should you do so, this edge is there for you." - Thief Edge List, Dio's
