Last week, Zumio posted a video demonstrating a substantial buff to Snake Trap in the Mists of Pandaria Beta. Today, Deepfriedegg posted some preliminary data regarding the Snake Trap buff from a World of Logs report on the MMO-C hunter forum. Please note that the data below is derived from a very small sample size and should only be used to gain a rough idea of the current state of Snake Trap in the Beta.
Deepfriedegg tested Snake Trap using 402 ilvl gear. Each Snake Trap spawned 5 Venomous Snakes and 5 Vipers.
Venomous Snakes:
- each snake melee attacked 11 times
- they can crit and seem to inherit hunter’s crit chance
- they melee crit for 200%
- they can be dodged or parried
- they do glancing blows
- with 402 ilvl gear and 5 man buffs they hit for roughly 1450 and crit for roughly 2900
- their melee hits can proc Deadly Poison that ticks for 550, hits for 1100 and can miss even if hit capped
- damage from Venomous snakes spawned from one trap totaled 117K
Vipers
- each viper melee attacked 6 times
- they can crit and seem to inherit hunter’s crit chance
- they melee crit for 200%
- they can be dodged, possibly parried
- they do glancing blows
- with 402 ilvl gear and 5 man buffs they hit for roughly 1800 and crit for roughly 3600
- their melee hits can proc Deadly Poison that ticks for 550, hits for 1100 and can miss even if hit capped
- damage from Vipers spawned from one trap totaled at 105K
