Hunters have many different traps they can plant in combat or during combat preparation in order to hurt their enemies or gain better control of the battle. First and foremost there is the freezing trap, a trap that freezes and holds an enemy for up to 20 seconds. At level 80 this trap can be planted from range with the new freezing arrow. This trap is especially useful in dungeons, as it takes an enemy out of the picture. The new trap shot is especially useful against ranged enemies. This trap has its uses in PvP as well, as it will allow the Hunter to get distance from an enemy. Unfortunately the effect of this trap is canceled as soon as the enemy takes any damage. A frost trap leaves a sheet of ice in its place that slows downs enemies that step into it. This is useful to get rid of melee enemies, and since it's an area effect there is no way to counter it., except leaving the affected area.

Immolation- and Explosive Trap deal fire damage to enemies. The first will damage a single enemy while the second has an area of effect.

The final trap is the Snake Trap. When this trap is triggered a handful of snakes will chase the enemy, infecting him with various poisons. These poisons will slow the casting and running speed and deal nature damage. It's hard to get rid of these snakes if you don't have any aoe attacks. The snakes have a very low amount of hit points however, and are most often quickly dealt with.
